Sony HDCAM-SR
VTRs - the RGB 4:4:4 full-bandwidth
high-definition VTRs at the top of the Sony
HD VTR lineup - have been well received,
especially in movie-making, commercial
productions, and high-end television
production applications, due to their
unprecedented picture quality and system
functionalities.
As HD-based programmeme origination has
become more commonplace, demand has steadily
escalated for increased levels of quality
criteria: even more video bit rates, higher
frame rates, and greater format flexibility.
Reflecting these new criteria, Sony has
announced a new HDCAM-SR studio recorder,
the SRW-5800, capable of recording at an
amazingly high video bit rate of 880 Mb/s.
The new SRW-5800 HDCAM-SR Studio Recorder is
equipped with the same key features* as the
SRW-5500 and SRW-5000 recorders in the
series, but exclusively provides the
outstanding capability of 1080/60P and 50P
recording through the use of 880 Mb/s data
rate. The 1080/60P and 50P recording system
is equally ideal for origination of
progressive-based programmemes, 720P
programmemes, and high-quality slow-motion
programmemes.
With the support of an extensive range of
signal formats, including 1080/60P and 50P,
plus outstanding system versatility and
reliability, the SRW-5800 HDCAM-SR Studio
Recorder should be the universal choice for
high-end content creation today and in the
future.

Features:
-
HDCAM-SR Format - For Exceptionally High
Picture Quality Recording
-
The SRW-5800 recorder adopts the HDCAM-SR
format, which records 1920 x 1080
resolution high-definition signals using
the MPEG-4 Studio Profile compression
scheme with a very mild compression
ratio of 2.7:1 (4:2:2)/4:1 (4:4:4) and
10-bit colour depth. It enables both
full-bandwidth 4:4:4 RGB and
high-quality 4:2:2 Y/Cb/Cr recording,
delivering optimal picture performance
to suit many different production
requirements.
-
Double-speed Recording For 1080/60P and
50P Mode and HQ Mode
-
The SRW-5800 recorder provides its
recording capability at a high data rate
of 880 Mb/s, which was only previously
available on the SRW-1 HDCAM-SR Portable
VTR. With this high bit rate of 880
Mb/s, high-quality recording is
available in two different recording
modes: 4:2:2/1080/60P and 50P mode, and
4:4:4 High Quality (HQ) mode.
The 4:2:2/1080/60P and 50P recording
mode is highly compatible with computer
graphics, games and other
progressive-based programmemes such as
demonstration reels for flat-panel
displays. It also offers exceptional
picture performance when converting
material originated in 1080/60P or 50P
format to 720P format, due to its
original high resolution of 1920 x 1080.
Another benefit of using the
4:2:2/1080/60P and 50P recording mode is
that it enables image creation with
extremely high-quality slow-motion
effects.
The 4:4:4 High Quality (HQ) mode enables
880 Mb/s 4:4:4 RGB recording with a
milder compression ratio of 2:1. This
achieves much greater picture quality
compared with recording at 440 Mb/s.
This is ideal when highest possible
image quality is the top priority.
-
Twice-speed Material Transfer
-
The SRW-5800 allows 4:2:2 material to be
transferred to servers and nonlinear
editing systems at twice the normal
speed using a standard Dual-link HD-SDI
interface. This is achieved by playing
back tapes at 880 Mb/s (double the
normal 440 Mb/s speed) and transferring
the data using two linked HD-SDI cables.
This capability can greatly reduce the
time required for material transfer.
-
Multiple Frame Rates
-
With the SRW-5800, the entire range of
both interlace and progressive frame
rates are available, ranging from
24-frame progressive imaging, to
60-frame interlace for high-end HDTV
production applications. This includes
60P, 59.94P, 50P, 60i, 59.94i, 50i,
30PsF, 29.94PsF, 25PsF, 24PsF, and
23.98PsF.
-
720P Recording Capability
-
The SRW-5800 recorder can also record in
720/59.94P or 720/50P formats, meeting
different needs for DTV programmeming
and transmission.
-
12-channel Independently-editable Audio
-
The SRW-5800 recorder offers up to 12
channels of 24-bit audio at 48 kHz in
both 1080- and 720-line recordings, to
meet the most demanding audio recording
requirements in digital content
mastering.
The SRW-5800 can also record non-audio
data streams within the audio recording
area by packaging this data within an
AES/EBU wrapper.
Furthermore, the SRW-5800 can accept
AES/EBU data with 44.1, 32-kHz audio, or
unsynchronised with video in audio
tracks.
-
Legacy Playback Capability
-
The SRW-5800 recorder can play back
HDCAM and Digital Betacam format tapes
for more flexible operations
-
Internal Format Conversion
-
The SRW-5800 is equipped with a powerful
internal format converter that enables
many different types of conversion such
as 3-2 pull-down, up-conversion,
down-conversion, cross-conversion,
colour-space conversion, and P-to-i
conversion. This powerful built-in
converter makes the SRW-5800 very
versatile in post-production.
-
Easy Management of Setup/System Menus
-
The SRW-5800 offers a highly effective
way to manage its System Menu. Up to
eight groups of parameters in the System
Menu and Setup Menu can be individually
saved as bank memory onto the internal
memory of the VTR. They can also be
saved onto Memory Stick media, enabling
them to be copied onto other SRW-5800
VTRs for quick and consistent setup of
multiple VTRs.
Furthermore, equipped with an Ethernet
interface, the SRW-5800 allows operators
to remotely view the setup parameters
saved in the VTR's memory bank, and to
select a bank they want to use through a
PC.
