Chapter 1 Overview

Chapter1 Overview

Features

The SRW-9000PL is an HDCAM SR format digital cinematography camcorder that supports 35 mm lenses. This unit features the advanced image sensor employed by the F35 Digital Cinematography Camera, together with powerful digital signal processing ICs. It combines the high quality and high performance of HDCAM SR recording with the superior mobility of a compact camcorder. It delivers the high image quality required by cinema and TV commercial production and the mobility needed in drama and documentary location shooting.
Superior Picture Quality and High Performance
Super 35 mm size CCD sensor and PL mount
The image sensor is a single-chip, super 35 mm IT progressive CCD with 6.6 million pixels (effective pixels 1920 (H) × 1080 (V) RGB). The PL mount allows you to mount most existing movie lenses for 35 mm film cameras without using an adapter.
Wide dynamic range and high-quality digital pictures
With its newly developed imagers, 14-bit A/D converter, and unique digital LSI, the camera achieves significant extension of the dynamic range and picture quality of optimal grade, minimizing noises.
High-performance digital recording in HDCAM SR format
The SRW-9000PL (called “this unit” below), records and plays back component video signals that comply with the MPEG-4 Studio Profile, an international video signal compression standard. It supports the standard 440 Mbps recording format of the SRW series (HDCAM SR VTRs),
and also a double-speed 880 Mbps recording
1)
It records up to 12 channels of
format. uncompressed audio signals (24 bits, sampling frequency 48 kHz).
1) Double-speed recording Double-speed recording is realized by doubling the standard drum rotation and tape transport speeds, allowing twice as much data to be recorded per unit of time. This enables recording of high-quality formats such as 1080/50P, and recording in RGB 4:4:4 HQ mode.
Multi frame rate support
The unit supports a variety of 1080 formats for the production of high-end content such as movies, commercials, and broadcast programming.
• 1080 × 1920 (progressive) formats:
23.98PsF/24PsF/25PsF/29.97PsF/50P
• 1080 × 1920 (interlaced) formats: 50i/59.94i
RGB 4:4:4 shooting and recording
Because of its high compatibility with computer graphics and digital compositing systems, the RGB 4:4:4 format opens up a wide range of creative possibilities for applications such as movie-making and commercial production. The unit offers the same S-LOG gamma as with the F35/F23 Digital Cinematography Camera, thus ensuring wide dynamic range shooting.
Rich selection of gamma curves
You can choose from a rich selection of gamma curves. S-LOG enables a shooting style similar to film cameras. Hypergamma delivers smooth gradations with a wide dynamic range. There are also special gamma curves that deliver a wide dynamic range even when you need to shoot with high sensitivity, comparable to ISO800.
User Gamma function
This unit inherits the User Gamma function of the HDW-F900R HD Camcorder. This allows you to load gamma curves created with the CvpFileEditor. The User Gamma function allows you to capture a look that expresses your creative intentions.

Features
Design and Shape
Compact body and low power consumption
This unit is about two times lighter than previous HDCAM SR recording systems, and consumes only about half as much power. Its compact size and light weight enable capture by small camera crews. Like previous HDCAM camcorders, it can be powered by Sony BP-GL95 lithium ion battery packs.
High compatibility with film camera accessories
Using the supplied riser plate, you can connect industry standard ARRIFLEX movie camera accessories such as bridge plates, matte boxes, and follow focus units. Instead of the riser plate, you can also attach the supplied V-shoe plate. This allows you to use the optional VCT-14 Tripod Attachment to mount the unit on a tripod.
Assignable buttons/switch
The unit is equipped with 10 assignable buttons/ switch on the side panel. For easier operation during shooting, you can assign frequently used functions to these switches. You can also assign basic VTR control functions such as STOP, PLAY, and REW, which allows you to control tape transport without using the control panel.
Rich Selection of Functions
Three operation modes: Cine, Cine-EI and Custom
This unit offers three operation modes: Cine and Cine-EI mode, for film-like shooting, with adjustments normally being made in post production, and Custom mode, for users who wish to obtain a specific look by adjusting parameters on the set.
Monitor output functions
The unit provides a wide range of monitor output functions, including mixing of characters and markers into monitor output, mixing of camera and playback video, and separate gammas for monitor and main line.
Down converter
A down converter is provided as a standard feature, allowing you to monitor camera and V TR playback video as SD composite on an SD monitor.
1.5G Dual link output
Installation of the optional HKSR-9001 in this unit enables output of 1.5G Dual Link signals (RGB 4:4:4 or 4:2:2 1080/50P).
3G HDSDI output
Installation of the HKSR-9001 enables output of 3G Single Link signals, equivalent to 1.5G Dual Link signals, over a single BNC cable.
SR Motion™
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache Board is installed, SR Motion is available on this unit. SR Motion allows you to obtain effects similar to overcranking and undercranking on film cameras by using HKSR-9002’s built-in memory while maintaining the high picture quality of HDCAM-SR (1920 × 1080) format. SR Motion is available in Select FPS mode. Select FPS enables variable-speed motion effects by changing the frame frequency during recording (Ramp function).
1) SR Motion is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Timer Rec
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache Board is installed, a Timer Rec function is available on this unit. This allows you to utilize the memory in the option board to shoot images at a specified interval. This enables time-lapse recording and recording over long periods.
Cache Rec
When the optional HKSR-9002 Picture Cache Board is installed, a Cache Rec function is available on this unit. This function captures about 200 frames of the video and audio that the camera is currently shooting (or about 10 0 frames in HQ mode) to the memory. Thus, when you press the recording start button (if the unit is in standby on mode and SR Motion is not being used), the recording starts with the data stored about 200 frames (or about 100 frames in HQ mode) before.
Shutter control
When adjusting the electronic shutter, you can display shutter settings as shutter angles (in degrees) or shutter speeds (in seconds).
Image inversion function
The image inversion function allows you to cancel out the image inversion that occurs when a cine-lens converter is used.

Removable control panel
The control panel is independent of the unit, allowing it to be installed in the most convenient location in your operating environment. It can be held in the hand and operated like a remote controller.
AP-1 Assistant Panel (optional)
The optional AP-1 Assistant Panel provides the same functions as the control panel on the right side of the unit. It enables convenient control of basic camera operations such as shutter control (indication in degrees possible), gain and color temperature settings (selection of Tungsten and Daylight possible), timecode and tape remaining checks, control of character display, and assignment of functions to the assignable buttons/ switch.
Per-channel audio level adjustments
You can check peaks and adjust audio playback and recording levels independently on all 12 audio channels.
Lens hot shoes
The camera is equipped with hot shoes for the
