The practical performance of HDCAM SR recording<br />
The <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> takes full advantage of <strong>Sony</strong>'s HDCAM SR recording system, which has a track<br />
record of delivering spectacular results for the most demanding motion picture productions.<br />
HDCAM SR field recorders are often paired with both <strong>Sony</strong> and non-<strong>Sony</strong> digital cinema<br />
cameras. HDCAM SR studio decks are fixtures at major postproduction houses. All told, more<br />
than 5,000 HDCAM SR units are now in service worldwide.<br />
Proven postproduction path<br />
Unlike some systems, the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> records onto<br />
compact, convenient, removable cassettes, suitable<br />
for program exchange or archiving. Generating backup<br />
copies of your original camera master is as simple as<br />
dubbing a cassette in real time. HDCAM SR material also<br />
plays back in real time without the need for de-Bayering<br />
or PC-based decompression. And HDCAM SR material<br />
is readily accepted by leading post, effects and digital<br />
intermediate houses.<br />
Robust, vivid 10-bit imagery<br />
The HDCAM SR format is <strong>Sony</strong>'s finest recording system,<br />
delivering natural skin tones, rich color and exceptional<br />
resolution. While most HD is recorded at 100 megabits per<br />
second (Mbps) or less, the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> captures at 440 Mbps<br />
for phenomenal detail, even when projected on a 70-foot<br />
screen. Instead of 8-bit precision, the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> records<br />
10-bit samples for exceptional tonal gradation. Instead of<br />
4:2:0 or 4:1:1 color sampling, the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> fulfills the ITU-R<br />
BT.709 standard, which specifies 4:2:2 sampling for vivid<br />
color rendition. The difference is profound, especially for<br />
projects that require broad latitude in postproduction.<br />
MPEG-4 Simple Studio Profile<br />
The HDCAM SR format takes advantage of MPEG-4 Simple<br />
Studio Profile (SStP) processing that treats each progressive<br />
frame or interlaced field as its own, separate entity. A fleet<br />
of four Application Specific ICs (ASICs) analyzes picture<br />
content and applies a highly sophisticated encoding<br />
algorithm. The result is phenomenal picture quality at a<br />
reduced bitrate.<br />
Optional 4:4:4 RGB recording at<br />
440 or 880 Mbps<br />
To excel in the most exacting bluescreen/greenscreen<br />
production, visual effects and aggressive color correction,<br />
the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> offers the option of full-bandwidth, 4:4:4<br />
RGB color sampling at either Standard Quality (SQ) 440<br />
Mbps or the exceptional High Quality (HQ) 880 Mbps.<br />
Plug in the optional HKSR-9003 board to capture 4:4:4<br />
signals that shine in demanding feature film, commercial<br />
and episodic TV productions. The HKSR-9003 also delivers<br />
the option of S-LOG Gamma recording to beautifully<br />
match other log-encoded material in the Digital<br />
Intermediate process.<br />
Optional overcranking and<br />
undercranking<br />
The <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> can put you in command of time itself with<br />
the optional HKSR-9002 plug-in Picture Cache board.*<br />
The board endows the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong> with a long list of soulstirring<br />
effects, including overcranking and undercranking<br />
from 1 to 60 frames per second for gorgeous slow motion,<br />
bi-directional variable speed ramp effects, time lapse,<br />
and slow shutter for heightened motion blur. The HKSR-<br />
9002 also enables Loop Recording, to capture up to three<br />
seconds of events that occurred before you hit the REC<br />
button. By installing both the HKSR-9002 and HKSR-9003<br />
plug-in boards, you can even capture these effects in<br />
full-bandwidth 4:4:4 color. Not only will the <strong>SRW</strong>-<strong>9000</strong><br />
capture these effects, the camcorder can also play<br />
them back in the field. So you can confirm that you've<br />
got exactly the shot you want before you strike the set.<br />
