Features

The PMW-1000 is a full-HD (1920 × 1080 and 1280 ×
720) memory recorder.
It features an enhanced networking and other IT functions,
and is highly compatible with nonlinear editing systems
and network production systems, enabling efficient file-
based operation.
The unit can be used as a player for video editing and
program output, and as a recorder for nonlinear editing.
For these applications, the unit can be connected via its
SDI I/O connectors to earlier nonlinear editors, monitors,
and video equipment with SDI interfaces.
It has a compact, lightweight body for easy portability
outdoors, and can be powered from any of three power
sources: AC, DC, or battery
1) BKP-L551 Battery Adaptor is required.

Features of this unit

The principal features of this unit are as follows.
Multiple codecs
MPEG HD422 codec
The MPEG HD422 codec provides video compression
complied with the MPEG-2 422P@HL standard. It enables
HD 4:2:2 (50 Mbps) digital component file recording in
the 1080i (1080 effective scanning lines, interlaced)
format currently in use by many broadcast facilities.
Uncompressed PCM recording of 24-bit 48 kHz audio
enables 8-channel audio recording at high sound quality.
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec
This unit supports the XAVC™ format complied with the
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec as a recording format and
enables HD 4:2:2 digital component file recording
(CLASS 100) in 1080i (1080 effective scanning lines)
format.

Recording and playback functions
Support for MPEG/XAVC/SD with multiple codecs
In addition to the MPEG HD422 codec and XAVC
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec (CLASS 100), this unit
supports the MPEG HD420 codec, allowing HD operation
across a wide range of recording times and application
objectives.
The unit is also capable of DVCAM codec recording and
IMX playback (30/40/50 Mbps).
Support for multiple frame frequencies
This unit can record and play multiple frame frequencies at
1080 (59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P and 23.98P) or 720 (59.94i
and 50i) with MPEG HD422 codec, and at 1080 (59.94i,
50i, 29.97P, 25P and 23.98P) with XAVC codec.
SD up-convert function
The unit can output HD signals while playing SxS memory
cards recorded as SD, allowing SD material to be utilized
in an HD environment.
HD down-convert function
The unit is provided with a downconvert function. HD
playback signals can be downconverted to SD signals and
then output as SDSDI or composite signals. This allows
you to use SD nonlinear editors and monitors for editing
and program output.
HDSDI remote recording
HDSDI connections can be made to camcorders with
remote HDSDI support (PDW-700 XDCAM HD422
camcorder, HDW-730/730S/750/790/F900R HDCAM
camcorders) to enable recording synchronized to REC and
STOP operations on the camcorder.
1080/720 cross-conversion
This unit supports cross-conversion output. It can output
720 while playing media recorded as 1080, and output
1080 while playing media recorded as 720.
