Sony Format Converter Board for SRW-5000 Series Studio Recorders

The Sony HKSR-5001/20 is a format converter option board for SRW-5000 series HDCAM-SR studio recorders. This version offers 3G-SDI output and 1080 50/59.94p conversion only for SRW-5800/1 and SRW-5100/1. Other features are same as HKSR-5001. It creates 59.94 Hz or 60 Hz pictures from recordings made at 23.98 or 24 Hz, by inserting the appropriate 2-3 pulldown sequence. It also provides 720P/59.94 output signals from 1080i/59.94 tapes and 1080i/59.94 output signals from 720P/59.94 tapes.

The HKSR-5001/20 can convert a 422 recording into a 444 output signal and a 444 recording into a 422 output signal. This allows material shot in 422 Components to be archived in the 444 RGB domain. Also, 444 material can be easily converted to 422 for distribution. 4:2:2/4:4:4 conversion and vice versa requires the HKSR-5003 RGB4:4:4 Interface option.
