XAVC-I Class 200 in 1080p25 removed, why?

[alphavto]

Sorry, but i don´t understand why you removed XAVC-I Class 200.
In "MC Codec Plugin for DaVinci Resolve Release Notes 1.0" i read:
[MCBMD-8] The Sony  XAVC  HD  Intra  Class  200  preset has  been  removed.  There  are  no devices available supporting this preset.

A german Brodcaster wants the XAVC-I Class 200 in 1080p25.

What is mean with "no devices available supporting this preset".

Hello Alphavto,

XAVC-I Class 200 is SONY 's format and the note in our release notes means that it is not deployed in any SONY device.

Does the German broadcaster accepts other formats than Class 200?

Best regards,

Hello Olga,

thank you for answer.
We need it not for a Sony Camera.
Our broadcaster wants that we deliver XAVC-I Class 200 in 1080p25, a other codec is not possible.
Maybe you can put it again to the plugin?

Hello Alphavto,

Yes, I understood that you need it not for Sony camera. Sorry to hear that this is the only format that would work for you.

All I can say, Class 200 was removed not by MainConcept's initiative. I've created a feature request to our Product Management to reconsider this decision. Hopefully, there is a way to bring it back. I will keep you informed.

Best regards,

Hello Alphavto,

Can you tell us the name of this broadcaster, please? Are you sure, they did not mix it up with Class 100?

Best regards,

I can´t tell you the name of the broadcaster, sorry.
But today we receive a second possible codec: ProRes HQ 25p in MXF-Container.
Problem is, this is also not possible with Resolve Studio 18, also not with the Mainconcept-Plugin.
We have to use the other global player software (they can do it), damned.
