The PDW-F75 is designed to place XDCAM HD at the heart of any existing infrastructure – it can as easily be connected to a composite analogue world as a digital file-based workflow. At the touch of a button, the PDW-F75 can up or downconvert any input/output signal in real-time with complete transparency. It is as easy to plug in an entry level DV camcorder as a top-of-the-range HDCAM VTR. The PDW-F75 features a comprehensive array of interfaces as standard. Using either the built-in LCD screen or a monitor, you have full access to all the benefits of the advanced XDCAM workflow with Scene Selection, Thumbnail operations and high-speed file-based editing. No matter how you work, the PDW-F75 offers productivity improvements impossible with tape-based media.
