ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) & Hold
The Auto Tracing White Balance function
automatically adjusts the camera’s color
temperature according to changes in lighting
conditions. If required, the user can hold auto
tracing at a desired color balance via an assignable
switch.
Gain Control and Turbo Gain
(-6 dB to +42 dB)
“Shockless gain control” provides smooth transition
in gain control.
MPEG IMX™ and DVCAM™ Recording and
Playback
MPEG IMX and DVCAM format recording and playback
are also supported by the optional CBK-MD01 which
can realize smooth migration from current SD
operation to near-future HD operation.
Proxy Data Recording
At the same time as recording high-resolution video
and audio data, a low-resolution version of this AV
data (called proxy data) can be recorded on the
SxS memory card. Proxy data enables amazingly
high-speed file transfer and efficient batch editing
workflow.
* This function works only in UDF (MXF) mode.
Picture Cache Recording
Up to 15 seconds of audio and video signals are
buffered even before the Record button is pressed.
Pool-feed Operation
For pool-feed operation, optional CBK-HD02 boards
provide HD- and SD-SDI inputs and Analog
Composite input.
* This optional function is planned to be available at the end of
March 2011.
Up-/Down- and Cross-conversion Capability
The PMW-500 comes equipped with up- and cross-
conversion systems for input signals, which provide
operational flexibility. It also supports down-
conversion from HD to SD in playback mode*

.
*1: Down-conversion of input signals and up-/cross-conversion
of output signals are not supported.
Freeze Mix
This function superimposes a previously recorded
image onto the viewfinder, making it easy to shoot in
the same framework as a previous take.
* This function works only in HD mode.
Clip Continuous REC
This mode allows users to create a single, large clip
with multiple starts and stops in recording. The
benefit of this mode is a faster transfer speed for
single clips (there is no overhead for the file open/
close process).
* This function works only in UDF (MXF) mode.
Live & Play Function
The Live & Play function allows users to
simultaneously check both playback signals and
incoming camera signals, and sequentially output
them without any switching noise. This allows users
to frame the next shot, adjust the exposure, and
then focus the lens while the camcorder is playing
back pre-recordings from the disc.
* This function is planned to be available at the end of March 2011.
High-quality 24-bit Four-channel
Audio Recording
The PMW-500 records uncompressed four-channel,
24-bit audio in MPEG HD422 mode or MPEG IMX
mode. Each channel level can be adjusted
independently by individual level controllers.
Scene File System
The Scene File feature allows camera operators to
easily call up customized picture-tonal settings to
suit particular shooting conditions, and also user
files*
1
, reference files, all files, and lens files. Each
scene file can be stored on and loaded from an SxS
memory card.
*1: User file support is due to be activated at the end of March
2011.
