Selectable Picture Modes
Three modes of operation – SQUEEZE, LETTER BOX, and
EDGE CROP – are available to provide the correct

SD to HD, 4:3 SD picture is up-converted,
then output as a 16:9 HD picture.
LETTER BOX mode
HD to SD, 16:9 HD picture down-converted to SD and
output is presented in Letter-box on a 4:3 monitor.
SD to HD, 4:3 SD picture is cropped and

Audio-Output Channel Selection
The SRW-5000 is equipped with a unique internal
audio-output router, which enables flexible audio-output
channel routing without the use of an external audio-routing
device. Any channel from the 12 available on tape can be
assigned to the HD-SDI (Ch 1-12) and SDI (Ch 1-8)
embedded audio-output channels. This feature provides the
flexibility needed when recording audio to different tape
formats.
Dual-Sync Operation
A unique feature of the SRW-5000 allows you to seamlessly
integrate the VTR into a 59.94 editing environment. In
doing so, you can directly perform insert editing from a
23.98P master tape, either to a 1080/59.94i or to a
525/59.94i recording, without having to first dub the master
to the 59.94 format. This is achieved by supplying dual
reference signals, one to lock the servo of the SRW-5000 to a
23.98Hz signal and one to lock the playout circuitry to a
59.94Hz reference signal.
Off-Speed Playback Capability
In order to play back material at different speeds for applications
such as slow-motion or fast-motion, the SRW-5000 is equipped
with a built-in off-speed playback capability.

Built-in Tele-File Read/Write Capability
The SRW-5000 has a built-in Tele-File read/write capability.
Because this VTR accommodates a wide range of recording
formats, the Tele-File feature, which allows auxiliary
information to be stored on a tape label containing an IC
chip, is utilized to verify the proper format. Tele-File labels
come as a standard feature on all HDCAM-SR tapes.
Metadata Handling
The SRW-5000 VTR can generate and record metadata such
as UMID (Unique Material IDentifier). UMID, an approved
SMPTE standard (SMPTE-330M), consists of a globally unique
number and a material number, used for the identification of
recorded material.
