Sony PDW-HD1500 (PDWHD1500, PDW1500) flagship XDCAM HD 422 (4:2:2) 50Mb/s dual layer recorder
The PDW-HD1500 will record and replay XDCAM HD 50Mb/s 4:2:2 data onto 50GB Dual-layer Professional Disc. With interfaces including i.LINK and Ethernet, the PDW-HD1500 can operate at the heart of small or large scale file-based networked systems. VTR-like JOG/shuttle operation and video interfaces including HD-SDI and SD-SDI also makes the PDW-HD1500 ideal for operation in more traditional vide-based installations.
The PDW-HD1500 has been designed to increase the appeal of XDCAM HD for applications such as news, European TV drama, documentary and mainstream entertainment programmes that required a high quality look.
File-based acquisition onto Professional Disc, with thumbnail and proxy operation will also make the PDW-HDW-1500 ideal for fast-turnaround news and live applications where speed of production is a critical requirement.
