In support of the many challenges and oppor tunities inherent in the
transition to DTV systems, Sony has already developed a full range of
HDVS®(High Definition Video Systems)products. A digital HD camcorder,
system cameras, VTRs, switchers, multi-effects, etc., are among the
products now in use with many major broadcast and production
companies, particularly in the USA and Japan. Working in the harsh
world of day- to- day operational use, these products are graphically
demonstrating the leadership that Sony has earned from over 20 years
of research into HD technology.

Joining this Sony HDVS family is the HDW -250, a portable digital HD
VTR that is designed to be used together with the Sony HDC-750A
Multipurpose Portable Camera, strengthening your field recording
capability. With its outstanding portability and long recording time of

124 minutes, it is a valuable enhancement of the Sony HDCAM

product
range, especially as a backup VTR for the Sony HDW-700 Digital HD
Camcorder. The models in this range, which already includes the
HDW -500 Digital HD Editing VTR and HDW-700 Digital HD Camcorder,
are widely acknowledged for their superb picture quality and reliability

-

and particularly for the familiar way in which they operate.

This significant technical achievement has already been recognized by
Sony receiving both an Award from the Motion Picture and Television
Engineering Society of Japan, and the Award of Technical Advancement
from the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers.

The HDW - 250 HD VTR inherits all the advantages of the established

DVW - 250 Digital BETACAM

Portable VTR, especially its excellent
operability. Multiple inputs and outputs, and powerful interfacing
capabilities, are major features providing the flexibility required for DTV
to coexist with SDT V-which is still the major system for most users.
For improved field operation in limited access situations, a new design
of remote controller,the RM-B150, provides control of both VTR and camera.

The HDW-250 is the ideal digital HD portable recorder. It will suppor t
a wide range of applications in your HD production program, from
highly mobile field acquisition to studio and OB vehicle use.
