Multi-format Capability in HD and SD
The PMW-1000 comes standard with a highly flexible, multi-format
capability. Users can select recording and playback formats from HD
(XAVC, MPEG HD422, and MPEG HD420) and SD (MPEG IMX50/40/30
and DVCAM) in a variety of frame frequencies. By supporting XAVC Intra
100-Mbps, XDCAM HD workflow can be enhanced with PMW-F5/F55
camera operation. In addition, with its up- and down-conversion
function, the PMW-1000 is ideal for integration into an existing SD
production system and also for future HD operation.

Similar Operability to Tape-based Devices
The PMW-1000 is equipped with a jog/shuttle dial
and RS-422 control, providing VTR-like operation
(Jog: -1 to +1 times normal speed; Variable: -2 to
+2 times normal speed; Shuttle: -20 to +20 times
normal speed). This gives the PMW-1000 a very
familiar feel, and enables easy migration from tape-
based operation.

Variety of Interfaces

The PMW-1000 is a perfect addition to an existing
NLE system, thanks to its versatile input and output
interfaces:
• RS-422 9-pin remote
control interface to be
used as a feeder for linear
editing
• Gigabit Ethernet for high-
speed file transfer for
network operation
• HDMI monitoring output
for more flexible operation
