Set record format = QuickTime 50p
Bit Rate = 50m XHQ (default)
SD Aspect 16:9 (default)
XHQ mode records H.264 (compression) at 50Mbps. Image sample at 4:2:0.
Quicktime (.mov) format.
The new GY-LS300, GY-HM200/170 models also offer a YUV422 mode that samples and records an HD signal at 4:2:2 50Mbps (H.264.)
Difference between a 4:2:0 and a 4:2:2 image is hardly noticeable to most people. XHQ mode provides high quality with least compression. For images where color resolution is very important (such as chroma keying) then the YUV422 mode may be a better choice. Remember, there's more signal data to compress with 4:2:2.
