About IMX
IMX is a high-quality, standard definition, MPEG-2-based video format created by Sony.
Both NTSC and PAL video standards are supported.
IMX is not bound to a particular tape format or transmission method; IMX can just as
easily be stored on tape, hard disk, or optical disc. In addition to standard video signal
transfers via analog component and SDI interfaces, SDTI and Ethernet interfaces can be
used to transfer native IMX data.
IMX bridges the gap between traditional video formats and computer-based
post-production systems by encapsulating video and audio data within an increasingly
popular data format known as MXF.
