SRMASTER Key System Features
SRMASTER Format HD to 4K Mastering Quality Files
SRMASTER is a powerful format which offers maximum creativity to the professionals from the HD television to 4K cinema production. SRMASTER format includes both the MPEG-4 SStP (Simple Studio Profile) and F65RAW recordings. MPEG-4 SStP is the image-compression scheme that is also used by the HDCAM-SR VTR product range. Fully tested and proven, SStP is an intra-frame/field visually lossless compression algorithm that records 10- or 12-bit RGB or 10-bit 4:2:2 image files, and numerous nonlinear editing platforms support native file editing. In addition to the existing SR-HQ (880 Mbps) and SR-SQ (440 Mbps) mode, SRMASTER products support an additional compression level called SR-Lite (220 Mbps at 1080/59i) to support HDTV program production. Up to 16 channels of uncompressed audio track and associated metadata can be recorded, all in an industry-standard MXF wrapper. The new F65 digital motion picture camera outputs super-rich 16-bit linear RAW signal and SRMASTER is the only viable recording technology that can sustain real-time recording of F65RAW files without missing a frame. Thanks to the wide-bandwidth recording of SRMemoryTM cards, up to 100 minutes of F65RAW-Lite footage at 24p or up to 24 minutes of 120p high-frame-rate image can be recorded on a single 1 TB SRMemory card.
SRMemory High-speed, High-capacity Removable Storage
The SRMASTER Series utilizes Sony SRMemory card as its recording media. SRMemory cards are unique in the industry for achieving a guaranteed read/write speed of up to 5.5 Gbps, and offering a storage capacity of up to 1 TB, within a small, light removable device. Unlike other general purpose IT memory cards, SRMemory card guarantees the data throughput thanks to the Sony proprietary memory control algorithm. With this extreme recording and playback capability, SRMemory cards are ideal storage devices for multiple HD camera work including 3D production, high-frame-rate recording, and high-resolution digital cinematography.
