PDW-R1 Field Recorder The PDW-R1 is a highly mobile field recorder. Its compact design is very similar to the existing PDW-V1 model, but the PDW-R1 recorder additionally provides other functionalities such as MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording, and a wider range of interfaces. Its extremely compact, lightweight body makes the PDW-R1 ideal for use in the field as a pool-feed recorder, backup recorder, and compact recorder installed in an extremely confined space such as a car or helicopter. Furthermore, equipped with an RS-422A interface as well as other video and audio interfaces, this recorder can be used in both linear and nonlinear editing systems. ■ MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording ■ Proxy AV Data recording ■ High-speed file transfers: 30x for Proxy, 2.5x for DVCAM, and 1.25 for MPEG IMX (50 Mb/s) files when using an i.LINK (File Access Mode) connection ■ Metadata recording ■ Ability to write EDL (Clip List) back onto disc ■ A variety of interfaces (refer to the chart on page 24) ■ RS-422A 9-pin remote interface ■ Parallel recording function, which enables the deck's Rec start/stop to be synchronized with the Rec start/stop of the camcorder connected via the i.LINK interface ■ 3.5-inch* color LCD screen ■ Thumbnail Search operation ■ Scene Selection operation ■ Search speed (in color): JOG : ±1 time normal speed Shuttle : ±20 times normal speed ■ Compact and lightweight design ■ AC, DC, and battery-powered operation ■ Ethernet connectivity (100Base-TX) ■ i.LINK (DV Stream) output from MPEG IMX playback ■ Repeat playback function ■ Equipped with one optical head ■ Dimensions: 9 1/8 x 4 1/4 x 12 inches (230 x 105 x 340 mm) ■ Weight: 10 lb 6 oz (4.7 kg) *Viewable area measured diagonally. PDW-V1 MOBILE DECK The PDW-V1 Field Viewer is an extremely compact and lightweight unit, offered as an affordable solution for playing back Professional Discs as well as for AV and data file recording* through its Ethernet network interface or i.LINK (File Access Mode**) interface. It is ideal for field applications, and for desktop viewing by journalists, producers, and other production staff. A unique feature of this model is its built-in 3.5-inch*** type color LCD screen, allowing users to view recordings any time, anywhere without the need for an external video monitor. What's more, the PDW-V1 is equipped with an analog RGB output capability, so users can view recordings on standard computer displays too. It also comes equipped with a built-in audio speaker. The PDW-V1 can be AC or battery powered, a feature that proves convenient in the field. What's more, because it allows high-speed transfer of Proxy AV Data, it can also serve as a cost-effective editing solution. As with other XDCAM products, the PDW-V1 offers a Scene Selection capability, to which even greater user convenience is added with its color LCD screen. ■ MPEG IMX/DVCAM playback ■ Recording of MPEG IMX/DVCAM files via Ethernet or i.LINK (File Access Mode**) interfaces* ■ Proxy AV Data recording ■ High-speed file transfers: 30x for Proxy, 2.5x for DVCAM and 1.25x for MPEG IMX (50 Mb/s) files when using an i.LINK (File Access Mode**) connection ■ Metadata recording ■ Ability to write EDL (Clip List) back onto disc ■ Compact, lightweight design ■ 3.5-inch*** type color LCD screen ■ Built-in audio speaker ■ Thumbnail Search operation ■ Scene Selection operation ■ Analog RGB output capability ■ AC/battery-powered operation ■ Network connectivity (100Base-TX) ■ i.LINK (DV Stream) output from MPEG IMX playback ■ Search speed (in color) JOG : ±1 times normal speed Shuttle : ±20 times normal speed ■ Repeat playback function ■ Equipped with one optical head ■ Dimensions (W x H x D): 8 3/8 x 3 5/8 x 12 5/8 inches (210 x 90 x 320 mm) ■ Weight: 7 lb 11oz (3.5 kg) *The PDW-V1 does not support synchronous video/audio input. **For connection with third party products using this mode, please contact your nearest Sony office. ***Viewable area measured diagonally. 15
