Sony PFD50DLAX Dual Layer 50GB Rewritable Optical Disc for XDCAM

The Sony PFD50DLAX is a rewritable optical disc with a dual layer design created for XDCAM camcorders, decks, and drives. It offers 50 GB of storage, giving video crews plenty of room for long shooting days without the need to change media.

This disc can hold up to 185 minutes of standard definition or 122 minutes of high definition content when recording in MPEG mode. Random direct access lets editors cue, review, or overwrite any clip quickly, a practical advantage in fast turnaround environments such as newsrooms or live event productions.

Built to endure harsh environmental conditions, the PFD50DLAX keeps data safe even when temperatures shift dramatically on location. An estimated shelf life of 50 years makes it a reliable choice for archival footage, compliance records, and any project that demands long term preservation.

Because the disc is fully rewritable, production teams can erase and reuse it across multiple cycles, reducing both costs and physical storage needs. Compatibility with MPEG IMX and DVCAM workflows ensures a smooth fit with existing XDCAM equipment already in the field or studio.
