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