SRMASTER Key System Features
SRMASTER Format – HD to 4K Mastering
Quality Files
SRMASTER is a powerful format which offers
maximum creativity to the professionals from HD
television to 4K cinema production. The SRMASTER
format includes both MPEG-4 SStP (Simple Studio
Profile) and F65RAW recordings.
MPEG-4 SStP is the image-compression scheme
that's used by the HDCAM-SR™ VTR product range.
Fully tested and proven, SStP is an intraframe visually
lossless compression algorithm that records 10 or
12-bit RGB 4:4:4 or 10-bit 4:2:2 image files. In addition
to the existing SR-HQ (880 Mbps) and SR-SQ (440
Mbps) modes, SRMASTER products support a new
compression level called SR-Lite (220 Mbps) to
support HDTV production.
Up to 16 channels of uncompressed audio and
metadata can be recorded, all in an industry-
standard MXF wrapper.
The new F65 Digital Motion Picture Camera outputs
a super-rich 16-bit RAW signal and SRMASTER is the
only viable recording technology that can sustain
real-time recording of F65RAW files without missing a
frame.*** Thanks to the wide-bandwith recording of
SRMemory™ cards, up to 59 minutes of F65RAW
images at 24p or up to 24 minutes of 120p high-
frame-rate images can be recorded on a single 1 TB
SRMemory Card.
Multi-format & Future-proof
SRMASTER products support 3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M)
for a real-time image, audio, and data interface.
All SRMASTER products support full-bandwidth
RGB 4:4:4, 4:2:2/1080/60p, and 3D stereoscopic
recording, while certain products additionally
support real-time 4K (4096 x 2160) and QFHD (3840 x
2160) recording and playback. Depending on the
SRMemory card speed, multiple camera streams
can be recorded and played back simultaneously
from a single card.* In addition, native recording
recording files can be shared in the post-production
environment, thanks to the network connectivity of
the SR-R1000 Recorder, SRPC-5 and SR-PC4 Data
Transfer Units.
* On the SR-R1000 Recorder.
*** As of September, 2011.
SRMASTER License Program:

which supplies technical documents and a SDK.

SRMemory – High-speed, High-capacity
Removable Storage
The SRMASTER Series utilizes Sony's SRMemory™ Card
as its recording media. SRMemory cards are unique
in the industry for achieving a guaranteed read/
write speed up to 5.5 Gbps, and offering a storage
capacity up to 1 TB, within a small, light removable
device. Unlike other general purpose IT memory
cards, SRMemory guarantees the data throughput
thanks to Sony's proprietary memory-control
algorithm. With this extreme recording and
playback capability, SRMemory is the ideal storage
device for multi-camera work including 3D
production, high-frame-rate digital cinematography,
and high-resolution digital cinematography.
High Security
The SRMASTER series has a powerful, built-in data
salvage system which means that precious images
and data can be retrieved in the unlikely event a
memory chip failure is caused, for example, by a
power loss during recording.* To prevent
unauthorized access to content, SRMemory Cards
and the files they hold can be password
protected.**
* In some instances, it may not be possible to restore images
recorded just before an accident. No warranty is given on
achieving content restoration in all cases.
** The password protection functionality of SRMemory will be
available after 2012.
