Multi-format Capability in HD and SD
The PMW-1000 comes standard with a highly flexible, multi-format
capability.
Users can select recording and playback formats from HD
(XAVC, MPEG HD422, and MPEG HD420) and SD (MPEG IMX50/40/30
2
and DVCAM) in a variety of frame frequencies.
By supporting XAVC Intra
100-Mbps, XDCAM HD workflow can be enhanced with PMW-F5/F55
camera operation.
In addition, with its up- and down-conversion
function, the PMW-1000 is ideal for integration into an existing SD
production system and also for future HD operation.

Similar Operability to Tape-based Devices
The PMW-1000 is equipped with a jog/shuttle dial
and RS-422 control, providing VTR-like operation
(Jog: -1 to +1 times normal speed; Variable: -2 to
+2 times normal speed; Shuttle: -20 to +20 times
normal speed).
This gives the PMW-1000 a very
familiar feel, and enables easy migration from tape-
based operation.
Variety of Interfaces
The PMW-1000 is a perfect addition to an existing
NLE system, thanks to its versatile input and output
interfaces:
RS-422 9-pin remote
control interface to be
used as a feeder for linear
editing
Gigabit Ethernet for high-
speed file transfer for
network operation
HDMI monitoring output
for more flexible operation
on any occasion
External USB Storage
The PMW-1000 is equipped with a USB interface for connection to an
external USB HDD.
This enables users to copy clips directly to a USB HDD
without employing any other devices; helping to reduce storage costs,
and means that users can make copies and backups simply and quickly.
Three-way Power Source Selection
The PMW-1000 can operate on AC, DC, and battery power, making it
highly versatile and suitable for both in-house and field operations (for
example, in a studio or OB vehicle).
