A high
definition VTR for prestige and mainstream programme
production
Sony recognises that your needs as a programme maker will vary
depending upon the type of programme being made. This has driven
the development of a multi-format high definition product offering,
including HDV for entry-level high definition operation, HDCAM for
mainstream and prestige productions, CineAlta for 24P applications,
and HDCAM SR for productions where only the ultimate quality will
suffice.
HDCAM has long been associated with the production of the most
prestigious movies, commercials and television programmes. The
recent expansion of the HDCAM product line up has transformed the
economics of HD for mainstream television production, with new
models such as the HDW-730S camcorder making HD acquistion
accessible to those working on standard definition budgets. And the
HDCAM family continues to evolve.
A recent enhancement to the HDW-M2000P HDCAM VTR has added CineAlta
24P recording for the first time. This enhanced model, the
HDW-M2000P/20, operates at the frame rates used for prestige and
mainstream content creation and distribution. It offers HDCAM
recording and playback at 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/25P,
1080/29.97P, 1080/23.98P and 1080/24P.
The HDW-M2000P/20 is ideal as part of an end-to-end HDCAM
production chain. It also makes business sense even when post
production and programme distribution remains at 625/50 standard
definition. An inbuilt HD to SD downconverter provides a standard
definition output from your high quality HDCAM original recordings.
Compatible replay of Betacam, Betacam SP, Betacam SX, MPEG IMX and
Digital Betacam tapes also helps smooth your transition to the
world of high definition.
Superb High
Definition pictures
HDCAM VTRs are in use around the world for the most prestigious
programme productions. The HDW-M2000P/20 produces great quality
pictures and is the ideal companion to the HDW-750P and HDW-730S
HDCAM camcorders.
Unlimited
opportunities for international productions
With 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/25P, 1080/29.97P, 1080/23.98P and
1080/24P switchability, the HDW-M2000P/20 brings new opportunities
for international production and distribution. You can use the
HDW-M2000P/20 to produce a travel programme for a European audience
one day, and a music programme for transmission in the USA or Japan
the next.
Business
benefits today and tomorrow
When used in an end-to-end high definition production chain, the
HDW-M2000P/20 maintains the exceptional quality of HDCAM from
shooting to playout. The HDW-M2000P/20 also makes business sense
when post production and distribution is completed in standard
definition. A built-in downconverter within the VTR creates
standard definition pictures from HDCAM tapes. These SD pictures
can then be replayed into your existing standard definition edit
suite for subsequent post production. And users today are
recognising that pictures shot in HD and post produced in SD
provide a better on-screen look than those originated in standard
definition.
Peace of mind
for High Definition post production
Over 27,000 HDCAM VTRs and camcorders have been sold worldwide, and
the number of post houses and broadcast facilities equipped with
HDCAM grows every day. HDCAM VTRs have a great track record for
rugged and reliable operation around the world.
Ease-of use
for minimum re-training
The latest in a long line of digital VTRs from Sony, the
HDW-M2000P/20 retains the ergonomic design and familiar operation
of formats such as Digital Betacam. With the
HDW-M2000P/20, you avoid expensive operational retraining and can
generate great pictures from day one.
