Sony's Latest Addition To HDCAM SR Line-Up

Sony has also further strengthened its HDCAM SR VTR range.
As HD-based programme origination has become more commonplace, demand has steadily escalated for increased levels of quality criteria: even more video bit rates, higher framer rates and greater format flexibility.
Reflecting these criteria, Sony has launched the new SRW-5800 HDCAM SR studio recorder. It is capable of recording a high video bit rate of 880 Mb/s and has the same features as the other recorders in the line-up, but exclusively provides 1080/60p and 50p recording through the use of 880Mb/s data rate.
"Broadcasters who require this recorder in its simplest form, have the perfect model to match their production requirements. However, When the SRW is configured with complete post-production package, it designed to meet the demanding requirements of this community and should be the universal choice for high-end content creation today and in the future,” concluded Olivier Bovis, General Manager, Content Creation Group, Sony Europe.
