Sony announces the latest additions to its XDCAM HD422 line-up. The new products include a new XDCAM HD422 memory camcorder – the PMW-500, and XDCAM Station, a new family of professional media recorders.
The PMW-500 combines the exceptional picture quality with the operational flexibility of recording onto solid state SxS memory card. The camcorder is equipped with three 2/3” Power HAD FX CCD image sensors and can record both 1080 and 720 HD pictures at 50 Mb/s.
The company expands the XDCAM filebased line with the PMW-500, empowering customers with the choice of selecting the best-fit media for their application requirement. The camcorder has two slots for recording onto SxS Memory Card. SxS memory card provides an extremely high level of reliability and fast access to recorded data, both critical in demanding professional operations.
Material from SxS memory card or Professional Disc can be copied onto the Hard Disc or Solid State storage within the XDCAM Station. The material can then be accessed for non linear editing or can be replayed under slow motion control. SDI input and output and network capability allows the device to function as an MXF gateway linking XDCAM media, baseband video and networked operation. The Professional Disc based models will also be able to record and read Sony’s new higher capacity 128GB Quad Layer Professional Discs, PFD128QLW.
With the new capacity of 64GB, professional users can capture 120 minutes of recording in HD422 50Mbps in MXF mode, which is widely used in the broadcast area. Users can also shoot more than 4 hours of footage in DVCAM mode or 3 hours in HQ mode with XDCAM EX. (Sony Electronics Asia Pacific)
