It supports full-HD 422 50-Mbps MXF record and playback based on highly developed MPEG-2 Long GOP compression technology.

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 1920x1080 and 1280x720 Recording Using the MPEG HD 422 Codec

The PMW 500 records and plays back high-definition video with 1920x1080 and 1280x720 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

Low power consumption

The power consumption of the PMW-500 is only 29W

Digital Extender

With optional CBK-HD02 boards, the Digital Extender function of the PMW-500 enables images to be digitally doubled in size.

Focus Magnification

A magnified camera picture (x2) is available in the viewfinder, simplifying precise focus adjustment.

Auto Focus Assist Function

The Auto Focus Assist function enables operators to change focus positions manually using the focus ring in AF mode.

Slow and Quick Motion Function

The PMW-500 offers a powerful Slow and Quick Motion function that enables users to create elegant fast- and slow-motion footage. The PMW-500 can capture images at frame rates selectable from 1 fps (frame per second) to 60 fps in 720p mode and from 1 fps to 30 fps in 1080p mode, in increments of 1 fps. (With the PAL setting in UDF (MXF) mode, frame rates are selectable up to 50 fps in 720p mode and up to 25 fps in 1080p mode.)

Slow Shutter

A maximum of 64 frames can be accumulated using the Slow Shutter function.

HyperGamma

Four types of HyperGamma curve – inherited from Sony's CineAlta camcorders – are provided in addition to six standard gammas.

Interval Recording Function

The Interval Recording function intermittently records one frame at pre-determined intervals. This is convenient for shooting over long periods of time, and also when creating special effects with extremely rapid motion.

Frame Recording Function

The Frame Recording function records images for pre-determined frames every time the Record button is pressed. This is particularly useful for clay animation shooting.

Optical ND Filters and Electrical CC Filters

The PMW-500 camcorder comes equipped with optical ND filters and electrical CC filters. With electrical CC filters, users can easily select a colour temperature -3200K, 4300K, 5600K, or 6300K - by rotation using a camcorder-assignable switch.

Gain Control

Gain Control(-6 dB to +42 dB) and Turbo Gain ("Shockless gain control") provide smooth transition in gain control.

Easy-to-view 3.5-inch Colour LCD Monitor
