Cache Recording; Continuous Recording; Optional Accessories - Sony PMW-200 Brochure & Specs

MPEG HD422 Codec
Users can record Full-HD video (1920x1080) at up to 50 Mbps using MPEG HD422
compression technology. Common operation with other XDCAM
camcorders such as the PMW-500 and the PMW-100 enhances operational
convenience, which is proven worldwide and delivers high-speed, intuitive XDCAM
HD422 workflows. With the PMW-200, users can also
record video in MPEG HD or DVCAM™ formats
compatible with the XDCAM EX™ camcorders. (Note:
Proxy video is not recorded with the PMW-200.)

Cache Recording

Once activated, the PMW-200 continuously streams audio and video into its
internal memory. When the REC START button is pressed, the content buffered in
the camcorder's memory is recorded onto the memory media at the start of the
recording clip. The caching period can be set at up to 15 seconds. This function is
useful when shooting a developing situation, such as in news gathering, so as not
to miss a critical moment.

Continuous Recording

By activating the Continuous Recording function, multiple clips can be recorded as
a single clip, which makes it easy to ingest the file to a non-linear editing (NLE)
system.
Reliable, High-speed Recording Media
The XDCAM Series uses high-speed SxS PRO™ and SxS-1 memory cards for its
recording media, developed specifically for professional video creation applications.
These memory cards boast high-speed data transfer, which accelerates the post-
production workflow. SxS memory cards are also resistant to shock and vibration.
Furthermore, memory stick media,
SD cards, and XQD cards can be
®
used as emergency backup media
with the appropriate adaptors.
4-hour Continuous Recording
By combining the BP-U60 with two optional SBS-64G1A SxS Memory Cards (64-GB
SxS-1 cards), users can record continuously for up to four hours. With the high-
capacity BP-U90 Lithium-Ion battery, users can achieve six hours of continuous
operation.

microphone systems such as the UWP-V1/V2. By combining the built-in stereo
microphone with external microphone input, users can record up to four channels
of 24-bit 48-kHz high-quality audio in MPEG HD422 50-Mbps mode.
The SDI connector allows the camcorder to interface with other professional
products, and supports down-conversion from HD to SD signals. The PMW-200
can be connected via HDMI* to residential HD displays to perform monitoring. The

connectors. These allow users to synchronize the timecode and video with other
cameras, enabling easier multi-camera productions.
The PMW-200 can be connected directly with a PC using the USB interface. Even
without a memory card reader/writer, users can easily ingest shot files from the
PMW-200 to the PC.
