Professional Recording Media

Sony PFD23A/2 is a 23 GB single-layer rewritable optical disc designed for XDCAM camcorders and decks. It targets broadcast professionals and production crews who need reliable, reusable capture media for field and studio work.

Build Integration

The disc slides directly into compatible XDCAM drives without caddies or adapters, freeing the operator from managing tape stock or proprietary cartridges. It requires a deck or camera that supports the PFD format and offers quick random direct access for non-linear editing workflows.

Sustained Operation

Rated at 72 Mbps on a single-head unit and 144 Mbps on a dual-head deck, the media maintains throughput during long ingest or playout sessions. It is engineered for high reliability under tough environmental conditions and extreme temperature, preserving MPEG IMX and DVCAM picture quality across repeated rewrite cycles.

How much recording time does the 23 GB disc provide at maximum capacity?

The single-layer disc holds 85 minutes of MPEG IMX or DVCAM footage when recorded at full capacity.

What sustained transfer rate can I expect during all-day ingest on a dual-head deck?

A dual-head deck delivers 144 Mbps continuous throughput, so thermal load and power draw stay constant during extended capture sessions.

Any XDCAM device that supports single-layer 23 GB professional discs — camcorders, studio decks or archive drives — will record and play back this media.
