Sony SRW1 HD Portable Digital Recorder
Sony Updated: 2008-04-21 RSSThe SRW-1 HD Portable Digital Video Recorder and SRPC-1 HD Video Processor are the newest members of the CineAltaTM product lineup and form the first Sony full-bandwidth 4:4:4 (RGB) portable VTR system adopting the HDCAM-SR format. The SRW-1/SRPC-1 offers virtually lossless 1080-line high-definition recordings at multiple frame rates on the HDCAM-SR tape media. The SRW-1/SRPC-1 connects to its companion HDCF950 portable camera via HD-SDI dual link or optional optical fiber cable to create a convenient, portable full-bandwidth 4:4:4 (RGB) image capturing system. The SRW-1 can also be configured with the HDWF900 HDCAM camcorder to record HD 4:2:2 component images. The SRPC-1 processor unit provides a variety of video-processing functions and houses an array of input and output connectors, including HD/SD signals, 12 channels of digital audio, and 4 channels of analog audio. The processing functions include 2-3 pull-down insertions for 525 down conversion, and RGB 4:4:4 to Y/Pb/Pr 4:2:2 color space conversion. The system is capable of operating in three recording modes. SQ (standard Quality) providing 440 Mbps video payload to tape in both 4:4:4 or 4:2:2, HQ (High Quality) mode allowing for 2x speed recording yielding 880 Mbps to tape with a 2:1 compression ratio in full band RGB 4:4:4, and 3D mode where two separate 4:2:2 HD SDI inputs can be recorded simultaneously to the same tape, providing an efficient means of recording stereo full bandwidth 4:2:2 images for 3D productions. Each stereo channel is recorded at 440 Mbps with the benefits of full error correction to both channels.

Features:
High Quality HD Field Recording
When connected to its companion HDCF950 camera, the SRW-1/SRPC-1 creates a high quality portable HD image-capturing system. With full-bandwidth RGB 4:4:4 and top-quality 4:2:2 Y/Pb/Pr 10-bit recording capabilities, unprecedented picture quality meets the needs of the most demanding applications in movie-making, commercial production, high end television production and digital-content mastering.
Double-Speed Recording
The SRW-1/SRPC-1 is equipped with a unique double-speed recording capability, which doubles the drum rotation and tape speed and therefore achieves a data transfer rate of 880 Mbps.
Multi Frame-Rate 1080 HD Recording and Playback
The SRW-1/SRPC-1 supports both multi frame rate recording and playback using 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) active pixels.
720P Recording and Playback
In standard configuration, the SRW-1 can record in 4:2:2 720/59.94P format.
Long Recording Time
The SRW-1/SRPC-1 is capable of recording up to 50 minutes at 1080/23.98P and up to 40 minutes at 1080/59.94i or 720/59.94P on a single S-sized HDCAM-SR cassette.
Single Fiber Connection
Due to the implementation of an all-digital transmission system incorporating the latest optical technology, the cable connections of the SRW-1/SRPC-1 remain simple and clean. The single-cable transmission system carries all required lossless RGB signals from the HDC-F950 camera to the SRPC-1 Processor and then records them to the docked SRW-1 VTR.
RS-422 Interface
The RS-422 Sony 9 pin interface allows editors to control the SRW-1/SRP-1 remotely. Connecting to the server via an HD-SDI dual-link connection, the SRW-1/SRPC-1 acts as an on-line feeder, smoothly transferring the recorded material to the post production operation.
Detachable Control Panel
A detachable control panel provides operators with a comfortable VTR operating environment.
Built-in Tele-File Read/Write Capability
The SRW-1/SRPC-1 has a built-in Tele-File feature to allow auxiliary information to be stored on a tape label containing an IC chip.
Internal Format-Conversion Capability
In addition to RGB 4:4:4 and Y/Pb/Pr 4:2:2 conversion, the SRW-1/SRPC-1 possesses a wide variety of format-conversion capabilities ranging from HD to HD and HD to SD.
