User manual SONY HDW250

[. . . ] HD Digital Videocassette Recorder HDW-250 Preliminary In support of the many challenges and opportunities inherent in the transition to DTV systems, Sony has already developed a full range of HDVS ® (High Definition Video Systems) products. A digital HD camcorder, system cameras, VTRs, switchers, multi- effects, etc. , are among the products now in use with many major broadcast and production companies, particularly in the USA and Japan. [. . . ] It includes an NTSC image enhancer function. System Configuration Standard HD-SDI interface for simple connections The built-in HD-SDI (High Definition Serial Digital Interface, to the SMPTE 292M standard)provides a convenient, HD baseband digital interface with other video equipment via a single coaxial cable. Multiple inputs and outputs for wide -ranging applications To provide the flexibility required for field recording, editing, and monitoring in DTV and SDTV systems, the HDW-250 the following inputs and outputs. ·HD-SDI input and output through a single coaxial cable for a smart system connection ·26-pin camera cable interface ·Analog audio 4-channel inputs and outputs (A to D conversion at 20 bits and D to A at 18 bits) ·1125/525 switchable Ref. Sync input and output ·NTSC analog composite output, with on/off switchable character superimposition ·HD analog Y/Pb/Pr component monitoring output, with on/off switchable character superimposition Remote control with the RM-B150 The HDW-250 can be remotely controlled from the RM-B150, a new remote controller developed for the HDW Series. A Sony HD video camera , connected to the HDW-250 with an HDCZ-Series 26pin camera cable, can also be controlled from the RM-B150. This unique function is useful where confirmation playback is required from the HDW-250 in limited access situations. HDW-250 shown 100 meters, camera to recorder The camera and HDW-250 can be separated by up to 100 meters of cable, either by using HD-SDI connections or a 26-pin HDCZ Series cable in conjunction with an HDCD-50 HD Signal Distributor. Low power consumption for longer record time Thanks to its sophisticated new circuitry, the HDW-250 provides a continuous record time of approximately 100 minutes from one BP-L60A battery. External battery operation As well as the internal battery, an external battery can be connected to provide a longer operating time. As the external battery has priority, there is no interruption when hot-swapping the internal battery, which contributes to a longer continuous record time. HDCAM tape Sony has created a new metal magnetic particle tape, the HDCAM tape. This has a C/N (Carrier to Noise Ratio) of 45 dB, to ensure high-integrity digital HD recording in the field. This HDCAM tape has many new features, but is in the same price range as Digital BETACAM tape to keep running costs low. System Examples Field frequency 60/59. 94 Hz and effective scanning line 1080/1035 switchable Thanks to its advanced design, the HDW-250 is the ideal digital HD portable VTR for DTV systems.
