PDW-HR1/MK1 - XDCAM Field Deck with SxS Card Slot Option
posted:
Firstly the PDW-HR1 supports all the XDCAM formats as standard, including the frame rate of 23.98P in 1080i mode and SD (DVCAM and MPEG IMX). Also new concept GUI for EDL-based editing and direct DVB-ASI output provides the field operator more flexible workflow. The PDW-HR1/MK1 recorder also now features voice-over recording capabilities, a useful feature for ENG crews or documentary producers. The new feature lets users connect a microphone directly to the HR1 and record a narration track in the field, then do a rough-cut edit on location. The final edit can be saved on the Professional Disc media or sent directly via the recorder’s DVB-ASI output. Its compact, lightweight body makes the PDW-HR1 ideal for use in the field as a pool-feed recorder, backup recorder, comact recorder installed in an extremely confined space such as a car or helicopter and simple field editor by itself.
