Sony PMW 500 Camcorder

The first compact camcorder with solid state recording perfect for various shooting situations!

Three 2/3-inch Power HAD FX CCD sensors XDCAM HD422 camcorder recording full HD (plus SD option)

• The PMW-500 is Sony Professional’s first XDCAM HD422 Camcorder with solid state recording. It supports full-HD 422 50-Mbps MXF record and playback based on highly developed MPEG-2 Long GOP compression technology. Equipped with three 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel full-HD progressive CCDs – the same sensors as used in Sony’s acclaimed PDW-F800/700 XDCAM Professional Disc HD 422 camcorders. It offers a high sensitivity of F12 at 50i (F11 at 59.94i)

SxS Memory Cards Combine High Transfer Speeds and High Reliability

• Both SxS PRO™ and SxS-1™ memory cards use the PCI Express interface to achieve an extremely high data-transfer speed of 800 Mbps, and can resist considerable shock (1500 G) and vibration (15 G). Also, a unique Salvage function serves to restore content damaged by power loss or memory disconnection during recording.

HD 1920×1080 and 1280×720 Recording Using the MPEG HD 422 Codec

• The PMW 500 records and plays back high-definition video with 1920×1080 and 1280×720 resolutions up to 50 Mbps using MPEG-2 4:2:2P HL compression technology.

24-bit Four-channel Audio Recording

• The PMW500 records uncompressed four-channel, 24-bit audio in MPEG HD 422 mode or MPEG IMX mode. Each channel level can be adjusted independently by individual level controllers.

Selectable Recording Modes and Video Formats

• In addition to high-quality MPEG HD 422 50-Mbps mode, the PMW-500 can record and play back videos at different bit rates and in a variety of video formats. The PMW-500 supports both the broadcast-standard MXF file wrapper and IT-standard MP4 file wrapper.

Long Recording Time

• With highly efficient MPEG-2 Long GOP compression and a large-capacity SxS memory card, the PMW/500 can record high-quality HD 422 50-Mbps images for a long recording time of 110 minutes on a single 64-GB SxS memory card. The SxS memory card can be hot-swapped with two cards while shooting, without interrupting the recording.

Well-balanced Compact Body

• Designed to be very compact and ergonomically well balanced, the PMW-500 provides a high level of mobility and comfort in various shooting situations. It inherits the design of Sony’s well regarded PMW-350/320 XDCAM EX™ camcorders. The main body weighs only 3.4 kg
