HFR Super slo-mo
A great choice For live sports production the PWS-4500 supports all High Frame Rate standards from 3x up to the new 8x speed and 4K 2x. So now you can record HFR feeds from our live camera systems For instantaneous replay in silk-smooth slow motion.
XAVC: The efficient choice
Records 4K HDR or HD content using the ultra-efficient XAVC codec delivering supreme picture quality With smaller file sizes. In 4K workflows the server generates a single 4K XAVC MXF file that&rsquos easily handled by today&rsquos non-linear editing systems. And For extra flexibility in HD production there are Avid DNxHD® and Apple ProRes codec options too.
Efficient file sharing smooth workflow
Clips recorded on the PWS-4500 can be shared With up to ten connected servers over a 10 GbE network using the new Share Play feature &ndash With no need to push or pull clips between different servers.
