Features and Benefits HDCAM-SR Format Recording Creating Visually Lossless Images: The MPEG-4 SStP Simple Studio Profile Yet another industry first from Sony is an integrated video encoding/decoding chipset that conforms to MPEG-4 SStP Simple Studio Profile (ISO/IEC 14496-2). The Studio Profile was created to specifically address the requirements of high-resolution image-production applications. It is free from GOP (Group Of Pictures) structures, and is scalable in its pixel count (SDTV, HDTV, film-resolution data), bit depth (10- or 12-bit), and color resolution (component or RGB). In order to achieve maximum compression efficiency, the HDCAM-SR format uses intra-frame compression for progressive images and intra-field compression for interlaced images. Special attention has been paid to multi-generation dubbing performance and, in common with industry-standard Digital BETACAM VTRs, the SRW-5800/5500/5000 is capable of consistent dubbing without using a separate interface for a native stream. This is only possible thanks to the high performance of the MPEG-4 SStP Simple Studio Profile, which offers reproduction of visually lossless images. 1080 Recording and Playback The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100*1 can record and play back full HD images with exceptionally high picture quality using 1080 x 1920 active pixels, as specified by the ITU Common Image Format (CIF). The entire range of both interlaced and progressive frame rates is available, from 50i/60i and 24p/25p through to 50p/60p*2, covering high-end HDTV production applications, and commercial and cinema productions. The SRW-5800/5500/5000/ 5100*1 can also record and play back top-quality 4:2:2 Y/Cb/Cr component or full-bandwidth 4:4:4 (RGB) 10-bit recordings, both with very mild compression. The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100*1 offers up to 12 channels of 24-bit audio at 48 kHz or 96 kHz*3, to meet the needs of the most demanding audio recording tasks in digital-content mastering. Each channel is independently editable. HDCAM-SR VTRs are the optimal VTR for any moviemaking task - from acquisition and editing to telecine transfers and digital mastering. *1: The SRW-5100 is playback only. *2: The 1080/50p or 60p mode is available on the SRW-5800/5100. *3: With the SRW-5800/5100 only. 96 kHz audio sampling is up to six channels for 440 Mbps mode and up to 12 channels for 880 Mbps mode. 4:2:2/1080/60p and 50p Mode The 4:2:2/1080/60p and 50p recording mode is highly compatible with computer graphics, games, and other progressive-based programs such as demonstration reels for flatpanel displays. Events with a lot of fast-moving images, such as a sports match, are well suited to the 4:2:2/1080/60p and 50p mode. Also, when converting material originated in 1080/60p or 50p format to 720p format, this mode offers exceptional picture performance due to the original high resolution of 1920 x 1080. Another benefit of using the 4:2:2/1080/60p and 50p recording mode is that it enables image creation with extremely highquality slow-motion effects when a tape recorded in these modes is played back in 23.98p, 24p, 25p, or 30p mode. 3D Stereoscopic (Dual Stream) Mode Dual Stream mode provides the SRW-5800 with the capability to record the images of two cameras simultaneously with in-sync audio and time code in both 422 and 444 mode, making it possible for users to shoot two different scenes simultaneously or achieve 3D stereo shooting. The materials shot in Dual Stream mode with the SRW-1 HD Portable Digital Video Recorder can be played back with the SRW-5800/5100. The SRW-5500/5000 can play back either channel A or channel B of the Dual Stream recording.
