Multi-format capability in 4K and HD
The PMW-PZ1 has a highly flexible multi-format playback capability for 4K and HD It can playback a variety of formats including XAVC Intra, XAVC Long, XAVC S-Long, MPEG HD422 and MPEG HD. This includes 4K XAVC Intra playback at 59.94p, 50p, 29.97p, 25p, 23.98p and 24p.
Direct playback and viewing function
The PMW-PZ1 allows direct playback from SxS memory cards or from an external USB storage device. (It does not mean that PMW-PZ1 give a performance guarantee for real-time video/audio playback, etc in all external storages. Please use appropriate media depending on bit rate of the data. (We recommend SSD or Raid type HDD).)
Simple copy and back-up process
The PMW-PZ1 is equipped with a USB interface designed for connection to an external USB storage device. This enables users to copy data in SxS media directly to external storage without the need for other devices. The PMW-PZ1 creates a copy log (csv format) in the external USB storage device, which helps users to easily check the file names of copied files. For greater accuracy in the copy process, users can activate a verify function before copying to avoid any copy errors.
Versatile control and LCD front screen
The PMW-PZ1 allows for easy control direct from the front panel, which features a high quality 3.5 inch colour LCD front screen. Control is also possible with USB mouse through the USB interface.
Choice of interfaces
Connectivity and inter-operability with other devices are vital for any memory player to enable quick and easy operation. The PMW-PZ1 meets this need with a host of versatile input and output interfaces, including a HDMI port and four 3G/HD-SDI outputs*1. Through the HDMI port, the PMW-PZ1 can be connected to professional monitors and projectors, or even consumer TVs, for the most flexible operation under various production circumstances. An independent audio output is also available on the player. The PMW-PZ1 is equipped with two USB interfaces – one for connection to external USB storage, and the other to a mouse device for the user to control the PMW-PZ1. Not only does this enable data to be copied, but also allows the user to play stored clip data from the external USB storage device*2.
