The PMW-50 is a dual SxS card slot recorder/player which can be used to play or record baseband video like our the current HD422 memory products at our high quality 50 Mbps MPEG HD422 codec on SxS™ memory cards as MXF files. As in the case of our current switchable XDCAM HD422 camcorders (PMW- 100/160/200/500), the operator has the choice of using the PMW-50 to record in either UDF/MXF mode which is compatible with existing Professional Disc XDCAM workflows or in FAT/.MP4 mode which is fully compatible with XDCAM EX workflows. The SBAC-US20 is a single slot SxS Card Reader which can be bus powered over the USB cable, provides faster transfer speeds using a USB 3.0 interface, and also enables the user to also read SD, MS, and XQD memory by using the appropriate ExpressCard adapter (i.e. MEAD adaptors for SD and MS media and the QDA-EX1 for XQD memory).
