Overview
The PDW-F75 is designed to place XDCAM HD at the heart of any existing infrastructure - it can as easily be connected to a composite analogue world as a digital file-based workflow.
At the touch of a button, the PDW-F75 can up or downconvert any input/output signal in real-time with complete transparency. It is as easy to plug in an entry-level DV camcorder as a top-of-the-range HDCAM VTR.
The PDW-F75 features a comprehensive array of interfaces as standard.
Using either the built-in LCD screen or a monitor, you have full access to all the benefits of the advanced XDCAM workflow with Scene Selection, Thumbnail operations and high-speed file-based editing.

Enhanced Productivity
No matter how you work, the PDW-F75 offers productivity improvements impossible with tape-based media:
- As soon as you insert a Professional Disc, the PDW-F75 will display a thumbnail index of each recorded scene either on a monitor or the built-in LCD screen
- Any scene can be accessed instantly with no time-wasted due to fastforwarding/rewinding
- No need to worry about accidentally overwriting precious content
- 'Essence Marks' can be reviewed and edited to identify critical scenes
- Cut edit content on the deck itself - no need for a PC!
- Import proxy files onto your PC at high speed for faster browsing and editing
- Smart import only the full resolution content you require faster than real-time
- Up to four and a half hours recording at 18Mb/s MPEG HD, with Dual Layer Professional Discs
- Built-in high quality 16:9 colour screen
- SDI and HD-SDI output with audio embedded
- Digital Audio AES-EBU output
- TC IN/OUT
Compatibility with today and tomorrow's workflow
The PDW-F75 is built around support for existing standards such as DV/DVCAM and open standards like MXF so you've got the maximum flexibility to use it just the way you want.
- Stay with DV/DVCAM format to work with existing non-linear editors
- HD-SDI, SDI, i.Link, analogue video, analogue/digital audio interfaces for connectivity to a wide range of editing systems
- i.Link File Access Mode (FAM) interface for high-speed, file-based connectivity to a PC
- Optional network interface for sharing content on a standard IT-based network
- i.LINK TS option for easy connectivity to HDV
- MXF open standard ensures maximum compatibility with new generation NLEs
- Long-term accessibility - storing content as files means you will always be able to access data in the future
Smarter, Faster Archiving
You don't need an expensive IT-storage system to revolutionise the way you store, retrieve and manage your archive material. While Professional Discs costs the same as tape, they're a true high-speed, non-linear media with a wealth of advanced meta-data automatically generated in camera.
- Import metadata and/or low resolution proxies onto your PC hard drive for a smart, searchable mirror of your high resolution archive
- Locate , watch and even edit proxy clips quickly using fast search of meta data, then instantly locate the archived high resolution content
- Non-linear media means faster, more reliable access to valuable archive content
- Professional Discs will retain information for 50 years in normal conditions
- Because information is stored as data files, there's no worries about video standards not being around in years to come
