SRW-5100/2

Highly cost efficient

Sony HDCAM-SR VTRs - the RGB 4:4:4 full-bandwidth high-definition VTRs at the top of the Sony HD VTR line-up - have a critical role as a master format for movie-making, commercial productions, and high-end HDTV. It is also the interchange and delivery format for most HD broadcasters, as well as the required delivery format for 3D HD programming, which is an exciting new development.

Supporting all SMPTE standard 1080 and 720 formats up to 59.94P, 3G interface with 3D recording on one tape, x2 ingest to servers, SR technology increases the speed and productivity of all operations.

The SRW-5100 is designed, and priced, to be a very cost efficient player supporting HDCAM SR, HDCAM* and Digital Betacam * formats for programme ingest and transfer to offline and online editing systems. It is ideal for ingest to servers, tape interchange and delivery playback, on-set viewing and any application requiring playback of HDCAM SR tapes for viewing or quality evaluation.

The /2 version adds a lot of new functionality including double speed playback and 3D RGB playback.

The /2 upgrade also adds support for 1080 50P and 60P (422) playback as well as RGB SQ mode (440 Mbps) as standard, so there is no need for an additional HKSR-5103 board any longer.
