Smooth
migration to tapeless, file-based HD operation
The PDW-HD1200 single laser head (drive) Professional Disc recorder
provides a wide range of AV and IT interfaces including HD-SDI,
SD-SDI, i.LINK™ and Ethernet. The high-performance disc
recorder has less features than the PDW-HD1500 but maintains the
same field-proven operability, making it an ideal companion to the
affordable PDW-680 Professional Disc camcorder.
Compact, flexible recording device
The PDW-HD1200 provides outstanding MPEG HD422 picture quality as
well as an uncompromising 8 channel (HD-SDI), 24 bit audio
recording capability, all packed in a compact half-rack-size deck.
With its unique ability to support three different power sources
(AC, DC, or battery power), its large 4.3-inch* LCD, and its
built-in speaker, the PDW-HD1200 performs as a versatile and
high-quality recorder suitable for both in-house and field
operations.
Viewable area, measured diagonally.
HD and SD recordings and playback for a broad range of
applications
The PDW-HD1200 can record and playback in MPEG IMX and DVCAM
formats in the SD domain as standard. Additionally, it is equipped
with an up/down converter, which is highly useful when employing
both HD- and SD-format materials in mixed operation. What's more,
the RS-422 interface and Gigabit Ethernet enables the PDW-HD1200 to
be used as a player deck for linear editing and a feeder deck for
non-linear editing.
With innovative high performance and sophisticated operability, the
PDW-HD1200 is an affordable yet highly reliable recording tool for
a broad range of HD production applications.

• Powerful nonlinear
recording on Professional Disc media
Media characteristics are critical to video production workflow.
Sony's Professional Disc media are highly reliable yet cost
effective, and specifically developed with utmost consideration for
professional recording applications. Sony's media provide many
exceptional features including superb operational flexibility via
split-second random accessibility, without the need to cue up when
starting recording. Professional Discs also provide exceptional
cost efficiency with long archival life and long recording times in
MPEG HD422 – up to 95 minutes (50 Mbps) with the PFD-50DLA
(recordable time depends on the total number of recorded files, and
recording conditions).
• Multi-format capability in HD and SD
The PDW-HD1200 has a highly flexible
multi-format capability as standard. Users can select recording and
playback formats from HD (MPEG HD422 and MPEG HD420) and SD (MPEG
IMX50/40/30 and DVCAM) in a variety of frame frequencies. In
addition, with its up- and down-conversion function, the PDW-
HD1200 is ideal for integration into an existing SD production
system and also for future HD operation. Interlace mode only.
Progressive mode is not supported.
• Variety of
interfaces
The PDW-HD1200 is
a perfect addition to an existing NLE system, thanks to its
versatile input and output interfaces: RS-422 9-pin remote control
interface, enabling the deck to be used as a feeder for linear
editing
• Easy and
intuitive file-based operation
With XDCAM HD422 products, video and audio signals are recorded as
clip files and their thumbnails are automatically generated. The
PDW-HD1200 provides a Thumbnail Search function that enables users
to search for a particular scene with ease, and this greatly
increases editing efficiency.
• Similar
operability to tape-based devices
The PDW-HD1200 is equipped with a jog/shuttle dial, providing
VTR-like operation (Jog: -1 to +1 times normal speed, Variable: -1
to +1 times normal speed, Shuttle: -20 to +20 times normal speed by
proxy). This makes operating the PDW-HD1200 feel very familiar, and
enables easy migration from tape-based operation.
• Three-way
power source selection
This Professional Disc recorder can operate on AC, DC, and battery
power, making it highly versatile and suitable for both in-house
and field operations (for example in a studio or OB vehicle). The
battery is attached with an optional BKP-L551. Power consumption of
the PDW-HD1200 is lower than that of the PDW-HD1500 by
approximately 11 W.
• Compact
and lightweight
This compact recorder is ideal for space-limited operation in, for
example, an OB vehicle or helicopter thanks to its halfrack- size
body and light weight of just 6.5 kg (14 lb 5 oz).
• Beneficial
functions for field operation
The PDW-HD1200 is equipped with a large easy-to-see 4.3-inch colour
LCD display and a built-in audio speaker that enables users to
quickly search and check recorded clips.
