PDW-R1
Field Recorder
The PDW-R1 is a highly mobile field recorder.
Its compact design is very similar to the existing PDW-V1 model, but the PDW-R1 recorder
additionally provides other functionalities such as MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording, and a
wider range of interfaces. Its extremely compact, lightweight body makes the PDW-R1
ideal for use in the field as a pool-feed recorder, backup recorder, and compact recorder
installed in an extremely confined space such as a car or helicopter. Furthermore,
equipped with an RS-422A interface as well as other video and audio interfaces,
this recorder can be used in both linear and nonlinear editing systems.
■ MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording

■ High-speed file transfers: 30x for Proxy, 2.5x for DVCAM,
and 1.25 for MPEG IMX (50 Mb/s) files when using an i.LINK
(File Access Mode) connection
■ Metadata recording
■ Ability to write EDL (Clip List) back onto disc
■ A variety of interfaces (refer to the chart on page 24)
■ RS-422A 9-pin remote interface
■ Parallel recording function, which enables the deck's Rec

■ Thumbnail Search operation
PDW-V1
MOBILE DECK
The PDW-V1 Field Viewer is an extremely compact and lightweight unit, offered as an
affordable solution for playing back Professional Discs as well as for AV and data file
recording* through its Ethernet network interface or i.LINK (File Access Mode**) interface.
It is ideal for field applications, and for desktop viewing by journalists, producers, and other
production staff. A unique feature of this model is its built-in 3.5-inch*** type color LCD
screen, allowing users to view recordings any time, anywhere without the need for an
external video monitor. What's more, the PDW-V1 is equipped with an analog RGB output
capability, so users can view recordings on standard computer displays too. It also comes
equipped with a built-in audio speaker.
The PDW-V1 can be AC or battery powered, a feature that proves convenient in the field.
What's more, because it allows high-speed transfer of Proxy AV Data, it can also serve as a cost-effective editing solution. As with
other XDCAM products, the PDW-V1 offers a Scene Selection capability, to which even greater user convenience is added with its
color LCD screen.
