Sony PMW-1000 Compact HD/SD SxS Memory Recording Deck

Sony PMW-1000 Compact HD/SD SxS Memory Recording Deck

Enhanced XDCAM HD422 workflow for linear and non-linear operations.

The brand new, compact, affordable PMW-1000 SxS memory recording deck from Sony has two SxSExpressCard™ memory card slots providing a wide variety of HD and SD recordings and playback, including 50 Mbps XDCAM HD422.

The half-rack size recorder has SD / HD-SDI interfaces and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) interfaces for non-linear network operations, as well as an RS-422 interface and jog/shuttle control to allow “linear like” ingest and editing.

XAVC HD support for PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 cameras

The PMW-1000 also supports 100 Mbps XAVC (1080/29.97p/25p/23.98p/59.94i/50i)* recordings on SxS media and allows easy XAVC HD playback and monitoring, making it an ideal recorder/player to work with the PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 CineAlta cameras. It also allows high-speed recorded content from both cameras to be played back in slow motion.

* 4K is not supported.
* Smooth SD to HD migration

The deck supports a variety of SD record and playback standards, including DVCAM record and playback and MPEG IMX and DV playback to make the smooth migration from SD to HD as easy as possible.

Key Features

• Record and playback on SxS memory cards - The PMW-1000 is equipped with two SxSExpressCard™ memory card slots, offering approximately 280 minutes recording/playback time at 50 Mbps MPEG HD422 with 128GB capacity memory. 
• Enhanced XDCAM HD422 workflow even in linear operation - The PMW-1000 has a front control panel and features an RS-422 interface for linear ingest with an ingest controller. A jog/shuttle control allows linear editing. Even if non-linear editing is mainly used, the linear edit is still useful if only a small portion of the content needs to be edited. 
• Supports network and non-linear operations - The deck has SD / HD-SDI interfaces, Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) for full network operations. A standard HDMI interface allows easy monitoring capabilities. 
• Records XDCAM HD422 and HD420 at 50/35/25 Mbps - The deck supports a wide variety HD recordings, including 50 Mbps MPEG HD422 at 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720, and MPEG HD HQ/SP/LP modes at 1920 x 1080, 1440 x 1080 and 1280 x 720. It also provides HD420 (MP4) playback. Recording speeds include 50i/59.94i/25p/29.97p/23.98p/59.94p/50p. 
• XAVC HD recordings support PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 cameras - In addition, the PMW-1000 supports 100 Mbps XAVC (1080/29.97p/25p/23.98p/59.94i/50i)* recordings and allows easy XAVC HD playback and monitoring, making it an ideal recorder/player to work with the PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 CineAlta cameras.
• Smooth SD to HD migration - The deck also supports a variety of SD record and playback standards, including DVCAM record and playback and MPEG IMX and DV playback to make the smooth migration from SD to HD as easy as possible. 
• Reduction of storage costs - The deck allows clip copying to commodity storage such as a HDD using the USB 3.0 interface, with no need for a PC. 
• Compact size unit - The 3U half-rack deck weighs only 5.2 kg and has dimensions of 210 x 132 x 418 mm ( 8 3/8 x 5 1/4 x 16 1/2 inches). 
• Battery powered operation - The PMW-1000 provides AC or DC operation, working with the BKP-L551 Litium-ion battery adaptor. 
• Lower power consumption means long operating time - The deck requires 75 W for AC operation and 65 W for DC operation, 
• *4K is not supported.
