Sony MSW-2000P Recording Equipment User Manual


 
In the digitally based broadcast industry of today and tomorrow,
only the fittest enterprises will grow and prosper. In short, those that
deliver the quality, flexibility, choice and value - that an ever more
demanding audience requires.
Whatever your medium, from satellite or terrestrial to cable; and
whether you operate locally, nationally or internationally, networked
systems based upon open MPEG-2 compression, can deliver what’s
required at every step of the programme production chain.
Hence the rapid increase in the popularity of MPEG-2 based
systems. The advantages of this technology are felt at every stage
of the process. Not only is MPEG-2 the worldwide standard for
digital programme delivery via DTV, DVB and DVD, it is also widely
used for the contribution and distribution of material between studio
centres.
In addition, MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML is also a firm favourite for
programme production. Thus the number of linear and non-linear
options based upon this system continues to increase dramatically.
MPEG-2 brings a number of pivotal benefits to your organisation.
These range from its versatility - optimising quality and cost for each
programme application; interoperability - bringing you an extensive
choice of equipment from multiple suppliers and the reassurance of
a future-proof investment.
Today as broadcasters begin to reap the full advantages of
MPEG-2 technology, they are demanding the resources to produce
programmes of the very highest quality using recording systems that
are also based upon open compression and interfacing standards.
In anticipation of this requirement, Sony has introduced a new
family of MPEG IMX™ Studio Editing Recorders based upon
MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML data compression at 50Mb/s intra-frame -
the MSW-2000P Series.
Developed from Sony’s unique experience of, and world
renowned reputation for, 1/2“ recorders : Betacam, Betacam SP,
Digital Betacam and Betacam SX, the MSW-2000P Series ensures
compatibility with all Betacam-based tape libraries and facilities.
So not only is this exciting new range the ideal tool for migrating to
an open MPEG-2 environment - quickly, simply and cost effectively;
it is perfect for protecting your investment in current 1/2” resources.
