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.
12
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.

Monitoring and recording AUX inputs
Installing the optional HKSR-9001 allows
Chapter 1 Overview
monitoring and recording the 4:2:2 video signals
input to the AUX IN connector. You can select
the monitoring or recording target between the
camera picture and the AUX inputs by menu
setting.
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

Intelligent Electronic Lens System. When a lens
with corresponding characteristics is mounted,
