Sony XDS-PD2000 XDCAM Deck with two SxS memory slots, Professional Disc drive and 500GB SSD

Product Code : XDSPD2000

New memory: new firmware
Sony's recording media product line continues to expand with new releases in the SxS and XQD media product categories.

Available from Spring 2017 are SxS Pro+ models SBP-64E, SBP-128E and SBP-256E. Available now are SxS-1 models SBS-64G1C and SBS-128G1C, plus XQD Memory cards QD-G64E, QD-G128E, QD-G256E, QD-M64, QD-M128.

The following cameras and recorders need updated firmware to support the new media. If a product is not listed, there is no need for a firmware update.

The XDS-PD2000 supports the operation of all SxS card types, including Memory Stick and SDHC cards, using MEAD adaptors. It also supports all XDCAM Professional Disc models in all recording formats and modes. The internal 512GB Solid State Drive (SSD) and the 1Gigabit Ethernet connection allow a total of about 16 hours of continuous recording in HD422 50Mbps and multi-user simultaneous access to the AV content.

Hybrid XDCAM workflow
The XDCAM Station is a professional media station with a built-in storage and interfaces for both Professional Disc media and SxS memory cards, enabling hybrid operation in an XDCAM workflow. It features better support for multi-task operations, networking, and other IT functions. Adding the XDCAM Station to an XDCAM workflow makes file-based operation much more convenient and efficient.

Increases functionality with Professional Disc drive
The XDS-PD2000's internal 4th generation 4G Professional Disc drive allows partial transfer of materials or full backup from the Professional Disc to the internal 512GB SSD. Furthermore, materials from the internal SSD can be partially copied to the Professional Disc. Simultaneous operation of baseband recording and playback or slow-motion is possible. Editing while recording (growing file editing) is also possible.

• Internal Storage : SSD (0.5 TB)
• Handles files in all format: XDCAM HD422, XDCAM HD/ SD, and XDCAM EX, Prof Disc and SxS Media
• Supports SD and HD as standard with up-conversion record, and up/down/cross-conversion playback
• Long Duration Recording of Line Feed
• VTR-like user interface with front control panel
• Supports industry-standard protocols (VDCP, ftp, CIFS)

• Supports all XDCAM storage formats
The XDS-PD2000 brings the XDCAM Professional Disc optical memory and XDCAM EX SxS solid state memory workflows together in a powerful 'bridge" solution. The XDS-PD2000 supports all XDCAM and XDCAM EX file formats, codecs and metadata, effectively offering complete format transparency. It also supports industry-standard VDCP, ftp and CIFS protocols.

• Supports 4th generation 4G Professional Disc drive and Quad Layer discs
The XDS-PD2000 supports the new high-speed DCHS optical drive. It handles the Dual Layer disc (PFD50DLA), Single Layer disc (PFD23A) and Quad Layer disc (PFD128QLW). Handles SxS Pro, SxS-1 and card adaptors for memory sticks and SDHCs. The 4G drive and Quad Layer discs offer larger storage volumes and higher access speeds. They are ideal for archiving large quantities of material.

• Multi-tasking internal storage operations
The 512GB Solid State Drive (SSD) internal storage is capable of multi-tasking when carrying out certain tasks. This increases interoperability and overall efficiency when working with Network Production systems.

• Familiar VTR-like user interface
The layout of controls on the XDS deck follows industry-standard conventions already familiar to most users. This makes it easy to use, configure and integrate into the overall workflow.

• Enhances network functionality
The XDS-PD2000 allows users to access growing volumes of files from non-linear editors without file transfer, offering high-speed file transfer and multiple access via a network. The XDS-PD2000 offers 8 clients for file transfer and 8 clients for network control.

• SD / HD cross-conversion
The XDS-PD2000 supports SD and HD as standard with up-conversion record, and up/down/cross-conversion playback.
