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

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).
