Sony SRW-9000PL Operation Manual page 13

Design and Shape
Compact body and low power consumption
This unit is about two times lighter than previous
HDCAM SR recording systems, and consumes
only about half as much power. Its compact size
and light weight enable capture by small camera
crews. Like previous HDCAM camcorders, it can
be powered by Sony BP-GL95 lithium ion battery
packs.
High compatibility with film camera accessories
Using the supplied riser plate, you can connect
industry standard ARRIFLEX movie camera
accessories such as bridge plates, matte boxes,
and follow focus units.
Instead of the riser plate, you can also attach the
supplied V-shoe plate. This allows you to use the
optional VCT-14 Tripod Attachment to mount
the unit on a tripod.
Assignable buttons/switch
The unit is equipped with 10 assignable buttons/
switch on the side panel. For easier operation
during shooting, you can assign frequently used
functions to these switches. You can also assign
basic VTR control functions such as STOP,
PLAY, and REW, which allows you to control
tape transport without using the control panel.
Rich Selection of Functions
Three operation modes: Cine, Cine-EI and
Custom
This unit offers three operation modes: Cine and
Cine-EI mode, for film-like shooting, with
adjustments normally being made in post
production, and Custom mode, for users who
wish to obtain a specific look by adjusting
parameters on the set.
Monitor output functions
The unit provides a wide range of monitor output
functions, including mixing of characters and
markers into monitor output, mixing of camera
and playback video, and separate gammas for
monitor and main line.
Down converter
A down converter is provided as a standard
feature, allowing you to monitor camera and VTR
playback video as SD composite on an SD
monitor.
1.5G Dual link output
Installation of the optional HKSR-9001 in this
unit enables output of 1.5G Dual Link signals
(RGB 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 1080/50P).
3G HDSDI output
Installation of the HKSR-9001 enables output of
3G Single Link signals, equivalent to 1.5G Dual
Link signals, over a single BNC cable.
1)
SR Motion™
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache
Board is installed, SR Motion is available on this
unit. SR Motion allows you to obtain effects
similar to overcranking and undercranking on
film cameras by using HKSR-9002's built-in
memory while maintaining the high picture
quality of HDCAM-SR (1920 × 1080) format.
SR Motion is available in Select FPS mode.
Select FPS enables variable-speed motion effects
by changing the frame frequency during
recording (Ramp function).

Timer Rec
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache
Board is installed, a Timer Rec function is
available on this unit. This allows you to utilize
the memory in the option board to shoot images at
a specified interval. This enables time-lapse
recording and recording over long periods.
Cache Rec
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache
Board is installed, a Cache Rec function is
available on this unit. This function captures
about 200 frames of the video and audio that the
camera is currently shooting (or about 100 frames
in HQ mode) to the memory. Thus, when you
press the recording start button (if the unit is in
standby on mode and SR Motion is not being
used), the recording starts with the data stored
about 200 frames (or about 100 frames in HQ
mode) before.
Shutter control
When adjusting the electronic shutter, you can
display shutter settings as shutter angles (in
degrees) or shutter speeds (in seconds).
Image inversion function
The image inversion function allows you to
cancel out the image inversion that occurs when a
cine-lens converter is used.
