Product description Capable of recording images in the XAVC recording format, the PWS-4500 Multi-Port AV Storage System from Sony offers flexible I/O configurations, high-frame-rate (HFR) recording, and an intuitive user interface designed for professional operators. It creates a multi-port slow-replay server system for live sports production in both 4K and HD infrastructures.The connectivity with Sony’s IP-based infrastructure is assured by a Networked Media Interface, while enhanced system efficiency and flexibility are provided by a Share Play file sharing feature. To establish the PWS-4500 System as the replay server in a live server system, you need three additional units including the PWSK-4403 Control Panel, the PWS-100PR1 Production Control Station, and the PWS-100MG1 Media Gateway Station. - XAVC Format
-
- Capable of recording up to four 4K video signals/six HD video signals and 16 audio channels (uncompressed, 24-bit, 48 KHz) using the XAVC recording format
- In a 4K workflow, a single XAVC file is created and recorded to the PWS-4500 System, which is easily handled by non-linear editing systems in the post production stage
- The system records 4K/HD XAVC intra frames between 600 Mb/s (4K 50p/59.94p) and 100 Mb/s (1080, 50i/50.94i) in HD
- XAVC fits into the growing 4K live production environment and you can explore creative possibilities in both 4K and HD live production
- With the optional PWSL-DH45 codec, the PWS-4500 System can also record files as Avid DNxHD 220x/145/45, which is an ideal fit for the Avid DNxHD post production environment
- Flexible configuration for 4K and HD
-
- PWS-4500 System can be configured flexibly using various option boards and software
- From a 4-channel HD production recorder with a basic configuration, you can expand to a 4-channel 4K recorder/HD 8-channel recorder solution with a Networked Media Interface
- 4K/HD HFR Recording and Replay
-
- System records camera feeds captured at a high frame rate with Sony’s live camera systems, and can instantaneously replay them in very smooth slow motion at HD 2x and 3x as standard
- You can also achieve HD 4x, 6x, and 8x, and 4K 2x slow-motion replay by using either of the optional software: HD 4x, 6x, and 8x: PWSL-HF45 HFR / 4K 2x: PWSL-HR45 4K/HD Cut Out Software and PWSL-HF45 HFR (High-frame rate) software

- Large-Capacity Memory Storage
-
- Large 2TB memory enables 6 hours of recording in 4K and 24-hour recording in HD
- Memory expandable up to 8TB
- HD Cut Out from 4K
-
- By installing the PWSL-HR45 4K/HD Cut Out software, a full HD picture can be cut out from up to 3 recorded 4K sources
- Each cut out sequence uses key frames referenced to timecode, position & zoom level for fast, intuitive, and creative operation
- You can also select Live Zoom mode
- 4K/HD Simultaneous Recording
-
- PWS-4500 System can simultaneously create and record HD files from a 4K camera feed, and you can use those HD files as proxy material
- Redundant Power Supply
-
- To assure high reliability, the PWS-4500 System comes with a redundant power supply unit as standard
- Connectivity with Next-Generation IP-Based Infrastructure
-
- Networked Media Interface lets you connect with any IP live production environment simply by adding the optional PWSK-4506F Networked Media Interface Board, allowing video and audio signals to be received and transmitted over an IP network.
- Efficient file sharing via 10 GbE IP Networking
-
- Once clips have been recorded by a PWS-4500 Server connected to a dedicated 10 GbE IP network, the new Share Play feature enables these clips to be shared among all connected PWS-4500 Servers to deliver a more efficient workflow
- Eliminates the need to push or pull clips between different servers
