Specifications

The Sony PDW-1500 is a half rack XDCAM recorder for Sony's line of non-linear optical cameras. Built upon blue laser technology, the XDCAM line of products takes advantage of non-linear workflow, while keeping the same archiving infrastructure professionals are accustomed to with tape-based acquisition.

The deck is small and provides all the necessary features professionals need. Features include high speed file transfer, metadata recording, along with multiple format capability. Sony's thumbnail search operation means no more winding through endless amount of recorded tape; each shot is right at your fingertips.

• Multiple Formats: The PDW-1500 can play back and record both MPEG IMX and DVCAM formats, giving added flexibility for mastering and delivery. When recording to MPEG IMX there are three choices of bit rate, providing the user with options between higher quality or longer run times.

• High Transfer Speeds: The deck has two optical heads that provide extremely fast transfer rates to editing workstations. The DVCAM format transfers at 5x normal speed while MPEG IMX run up to 2.5x. Proxy AV transfers provide 50x data rates. High speed is boosted by both FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

• Non-Linear Scene Selection: Possibly the greatest attribute of working with non-linear optical recording is the ability to access scenes independently. This along with multiple viewing options makes XDCAM extremely powerful, increasing post-production efficiency. Sony's thumbnail scene selection tool makes looking for shots a breeze, simply cycle through the list of clips to find what you need.

• Rack Mountable: The PDW-1500 is rack mountable talking up one half of any standard 19" racking system.

• Seven Year "Powertrain" Warranty: Sony's commitment to XDCAM technology and their unwavering confidence in the equipment translates into an unprecedented seven year "Powertrain" warranty for the laser block.
