Sony HDWS280 HDCAM Deck |
|
A Compact HDCAM recorder with 24P-recording capability – Opening New Horizons in Field and Studio HD Productions.
In recent years, high-definition content creation has become increasingly commonplace in a variety of applications - from prime-time dramas, documentaries and sports, to digital cinema productions. From the outset, Sony has responded to this trend by supplying a range of HDCAM products, and by offering the stunning 24P-recording format, recognized by the CineAlta name.
In line with this commitment, Sony has now added the HDW-S280 compact recorder – the first affordable HDCAM deck to offer 24P-recording capability.
Features, such as interlace/progressive switchable recording with selectable frame rates, legacy playback of Betacam SX, Betacam SP and Betacam tapes, and up-/down-conversion capabilities. Despite its small size, the HDW-S280 front panel incorporates a 3.5-inch* 16:9 color LCD display for monitoring video, VTR status and setup menus. For enhanced installation flexibility, the unit can be AC, DC or battery driven. With such a rich set of features built into an extremely mobile design, the HDW-S280 recorder offers new opportunities in a range of field and studio HD productions.
The HDW-S280 recorder* adopts the proven HDCAM format to record 1920 x 1080 resolution, high-definition component digital signals. The HDCAM format uses an extremely intelligent compression scheme with a video bit rate of 140 Mb/s (data rate on tape of 185 Mb/s). This allows the format to integrate superb picture quality onto a highly robust and cost-effective 1/2-inch tape with a design inherited from the Betacam Series.
An important element that makes the HDW-S280 so versatile is its ability to record and play back material recorded in multiple signal formats. The HDW-S280 supports both interlace and progressive recording modes with selectable frame rates; 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 1080/29.97PsF, 1080/25PsF, 1080/24PsF* and 1080/23.98PsF*. With the progressive recording capability, the HDW-S280 recorder can be used to acquire film-like images for movies, dramas and documentaries. |
