Sony Advanced Processor for SRW-5100 HDCAM SR Studio Player

The Sony HKSR-5103 Advanced Processor Board is an optional accessory board for the SRW-5100 player. When installed, it offers the ability to play back HDCAM SR formats with uncompressed 4:4:4 full bandwidth RGB signals. Aside from its compatibility with 1080/60p, 1080/50p and 720p, this board enables play back of HDCAM SR formats recorded in 880Mbps. This board intrinsically meets the high demands of high profile video operations often required by HDCAM/HDCAM SR studios, compositing suites and digital mobile units.

The 4:4:4 color resolution is ideal for compositing purposes such as chroma keying, due to the massive amount of color information provided through its data stream. An increased level of latitude is also a benefit to higher color resolution; this translates into footage that is a lot easier to color correct during post sessions.
