1) A clip is created every time recording is stopped.

Supporting digital and analog interfaces

This unit supports the following interfaces.

Digital interfaces

SDI: This allows the unit to output D1 (component) format digital video and audio signals.

i.LINK: The DVCAM format digital video and audio signals can be input and output. This unit supports the AV/C and FAM protocols. Connecting a computer with the FAM driver installed allows video and audio data to be transferred at high speeds.

Analog interfaces

Video: The unit can output a composite analog video signal.

Audio: The unit can output two-channel stereo audio signals.

DVCAM output from MPEG IMX playback

When the PDW-V1 plays back an MPEG IMX stream, it outputs a corresponding DVCAM stream at the same time through its i.LINK (AV/C) port. This is very useful when carrying out off-line editing with a popular non-linear editor using DVCAM format.

Flexible metadata handing

XDCAM 1) can record various types of metadata together with video and audio data, such as the date and time of shooting, the cameraman, the recording method, and comments about the material. This metadata can be used in applications such as the following.

•The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to add titles, comments, and other text data to discs and clips.

•Computer-readable text files can be recorded on the Professional Disc, to allow systematic content management.

•The ability to search metadata for the required audio and video scenes brings greater efficiency to various stages of the video production process (editing, archiving, etc.).

1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Color LCD built-in

With the built-in 3.5-inch type color LCD screen, you can display contents on the disc without an external monitor.

RGB output connector provided

The MONITOR connector outputs analog RGB signals. You can input the signals to a PC-compatible display or projector.

Compact size, lightweight and battery- powered operation

The PDW-V1 is designed small and light enough to carry out to the field and it is operable with battery to work speedily in the field.

Supporting SNMP for service and maintenance 1)

The PDW-V1 is compatible with Sony remote maintenance and monitoring software—an SNMP- compliant application that can monitor and log the hardware’s status in real time via a TCP/IP network. If a malfunction is detected, this system can immediately identify the problem, allowing you to take corrective action.
