Live slow control can be operated by using the PWSK-4403. GUI supports • 4-Split Mode – use this to operate the control panel and SDI monitor • Clip Management Mode – use this to operate the control panel and clip management tool • Playlist Mode – use this to make a playlist • CutOut Mode – use this to operate HD CutOut from a 4K signal 6 In addition, V1.4 provides you with preview control. Media Gateway Station PWS-100MG1 Clip Transfer Display Material Preview Display The PWS-100MG1 is a 1U rack-mount server with pre-installed PWA-MGW1 media gateway software, which enables file transfer from a PWS-4400 to removable media such as a USB HDD and *1Sony’s Optical Disk Archive. Additionally, you can retrieve content from the removable media to the PWS-4400. Other available features include ISO recording, check-in to NLE, and material previews. By installing optional PWA-MGW1B video transcode software on the PWS-100MG1, you can also achieve video transcoding (e.g., XAVC HD MXF files recorded on the PWS-4400 can be transcoded to XDCAM® MPEG (50 Mbps/422) MXF files when those files are archived to external recording media). 7 *1: Sony’s Optical Disk Archive cannot be used for the ISO REC feature in the PWS-4400. Recording Control Software PWA-RCT1 The PWA-RCT1 is Windows-running (Embedded 8 and 8.1) application software designed to trigger REC/PLAY/STOP/File transfer to the PWS-4400. With its intuitive and user-friendly GUI, this software allows you to easily control each PWS-4400 port and to easily manage recorded materials so that they can actually utilize the PWS-4400 as a ‘multi-port storage unit’ in both 4K and HD production environments. The auto chase transfer function enables effective recording and archiving. It can be implemented when you start recording to the PWS-4400. 8 USB Control Device Internal Memory Array (2 TB) PWSK-4403 PWSK-4401 Internal Memory •2 TB standard • Optional 8 TB max.
