Three 2/3-inch type Full-HD Power HAD FX 
CCDs

The PMW-500 is equipped with three 2/3-inch type 
2.2-megapixel full-HD progressive CCDs - the same 
sensors as used in Sony’s well-proven PDW-F800/700 
XDCAM Professional Disc HD422 camcorders.  Based 
on Sony Power HAD FX sensor technology and the 
latest on-chip lens structure, this type of CCD offers a 
high sensitivity of F11 at 59.94i (F12 at 50i) and an 
excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 59 dB.

SxS Memory Cards Combine High Transfer 
Speeds and High Reliability

  

Both SxS PRO™ and SxS-1™*

1

 memory cards use the 

PCI Express interface to achieve an extremely high 
data-transfer speed of 1.2 Gbps with SBS-64G1A/ 
32G1A and 800 Mbps with the other SxS memory 
cards.  They can resist considerable shock (1500 G) 
and vibration (15 G).  Also, a unique Salvage function 
serves to restore content damaged by power loss or 
memory disconnection during recording*

.  

In addition, with an optional MEAD-MS01 or  
MEAD-SD01 Media Adaptor*

3

, a high-speed 

Memory Stick™ or SD memory card*

4

 can be used 

as emergency recording media. 

*1: SxS-1 memory cards support fewer re-writes than SxS PRO 

memory cards.  Notification is given when an SxS-1 memory 

card approaches its end of life.
*2: In some cases, images recorded just before an accident 

may not be restored (several seconds).  No guarantee is given 

on always achieving content restoration.
*3: UDF (MXF) mode, Slow Motion and the Salvage function are 

not supported.
*4: For information about memory devices, please contact your 

nearest Sony office or authorized dealer. 

HD 1920x1080 and 1280x720 Recording Using 
the MPEG HD422 Codec

 

The PMW-500 records and plays back high-definition 
video with 1920x1080 and 1280x720 resolutions up to 
50 Mbps using MPEG-2 4:2:2P@HL compression 
technology.  Also, the PMW-500 can record high-
quality 24-bit four-channel audio.

Various Selectable Recording Modes and 
Video Formats

In addition to high-quality MPEG HD422 50-Mbps 
mode, the PMW-500 can record and play back 
videos at different bit rates and in a variety of video 
formats.  The PDW-500 supports both the broadcast-
standard MXF file wrapper and IT-standard MP4 file 
wrapper.  In UDF mode (MXF), which is compatible 
with the recording formats of the XDCAM 
Professional Disc Series, and in FAT mode (MP4/AVI), 
which is compatible with the XDCAM EX Series, 
XDCAM Browser, supplied software, can very rapidly 
convert files between formats, as no transcoding 
process is required.

Long Recording Time

With highly efficient MPEG-2 Long GOP compression 
and a large-capacity SxS memory card, the  
PMW-500 can record high-quality HD422 50-Mbps 
images for a long recording time of 120 minutes on a 
single 64GB SxS memory card.  The SxS memory card 
can be hot-swapped with two cards while shooting, 
without interrupting the recording.
