Wide Array of Signal Formats
The HDW-2000 Series can playback a wide variety of legacy
SDTV VTR formats in addition to the HDCAM format. Since
the HDW-2000 Series can output signals in 1080i, 576i and
480i, each format is reproduced in its corresponding vertical
resolution.
As an even greater advantage, the HDW-2000 Series has up
and down converters built-in so a program originated for
SDTV can be up converted for HDTV transmission, and
materials that were made in the HD format can be down
converted as "Super-sampled" SD images. This is a distinct

Operation
The HDW-2000 Series recorders provide recording and
playback capability of the HDCAM format in 1080/59.94i,
1080/50i, 1080/29.97PsF and 1080/25PsF frame rates.*
The HDW-2000 Series also allows legacy playback of both
480/59.94i and 576/50i on the same deck*
makes the HDW-2000 Series an extremely effective tool for
international programming. Furthermore, to meet the
increasing needs of 24P program creation, the
23.98PsF/24PsF recordings can be converted to a 25PsF
signal with appropriate conversion of time code.*

advantage of the HDW-2000 Series. The "Super-sampled"
HD origination produces standard definition 480 and 576-line
NTSC/PAL signals which are superior to those originated in
standard definition (their horizontal and vertical MTFs are
higher and the associated scanning aliasing is less).
Furthermore, a 720P progressive output is available for
integration into 720P-based systems.*

required. Please consult your nearest Sony office.

Long Recording Time on a Single Cassette
Utilizing the HDCAM format's high-density recording
capability and compression technology, the HDW-2000
Series provides a long recording time of 124 minutes at
1080/59.94i and 149 minutes at 1080/50i per one L cassette.

Digital Audio and Dolby
The HDCAM format records four channels (two AES/EBU
stereo pairs) of non-compressed digital audio (20 bit at 48
kHz). The HDW-2000 Series recorders can also record
non-audio data streams within the audio recording area by
packaging the data within an AES/EBU wrapper.
Furthermore, the HDW-2000 recorders can record Dolby-E
and Dolby AC-3 data (non-audio) streams on the audio
tracks.
