MPEG HD422 Codec Users can record Full-HD video (1920x1080) at up to 50 Mbps using MPEG HD422 compression technology. Common operation with other XDCAM® HD422 camcorders such as the PMW-500 and the PMW-100 enhances operational convenience, which is proven worldwide and delivers high-speed, intuitive XDCAM HD422 workflows. With the PMW-200, users can also record video in MPEG HD or DVCAM™ formats compatible with the XDCAM EX™ camcorders. (Note: Proxy video is not recorded with the PMW-200.) Cache Recording Once activated, the PMW-200 continuously streams audio and video into its internal memory. When the REC START button is pressed, the content buffered in the camcorder's memory is recorded onto the memory media at the start of the recording clip. The caching period can be set at up to 15 seconds. This function is useful when shooting a developing situation, such as in news gathering, so as not to miss a critical moment. Continuous Recording By activating the Continuous Recording function, multiple clips can be recorded as a single clip, which makes it easy to ingest the file to a non-linear editing (NLE) system. Reliable, High-speed Recording Media The XDCAM Series uses high-speed SxS PRO™ and SxS-1 memory cards for its recording media, developed specifically for professional video creation applications. These memory cards boast high-speed data transfer, which accelerates the postproduction workflow. SxS memory cards are also resistant to shock and vibration. Furthermore, memory stick media, SD cards, and XQD® cards can be used as emergency backup media with the appropriate adaptors. 4-hour Continuous Recording By combining the BP-U60 with two optional SBS-64G1A SxS Memory Cards (64-GB SxS-1 cards), users can record continuously for up to four hours. With the highcapacity BP-U90 Lithium-Ion battery, users can achieve six hours of continuous operation. AUDIO High-quality Audio The PMW-200 is equipped with two XLR connectors, which are for professional microphones such as the ECM-680S/MS2/678/674/673/VG1 and wireless microphone systems such as the UWP-V1/V2. By combining the built-in stereo microphone with external microphone input, users can record up to four channels of 24-bit 48-kHz high-quality audio in MPEG HD422 50-Mbps mode. INTERFACES HD/SD-SDI, HDMI®, and i.LINK The SDI connector allows the camcorder to interface with other professional products, and supports down-conversion from HD to SD signals. The PMW-200 can be connected via HDMI* to residential HD displays to perform monitoring. The i.LINK®2 connector can be used for HDV when SP 1440 (FAT) mode is selected, and for DV when DVCAM (FAT) mode is selected. * Requires HDMI cable sold separately. Timecode IN/OUT, and Genlock The PMW-200 comes equipped with Timecode Input/Output and Genlock Input connectors. These allow users to synchronize the timecode and video with other cameras, enabling easier multi-camera productions. PC Interface The PMW-200 can be connected directly with a PC using the USB interface. Even without a memory card reader/writer, users can easily ingest shot files from the PMW-200 to the PC.
