GENERAL INFORMATION: Important Note:PMW-EX1 cameras may require a firmware upgrade to provide compatibility with the PHU-60K. More information below.
BATTERY NOT INCLUDED - PLEASE READ IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFO BELOW
Specifically designed for use with XDCAM EX camcorders, the PHU-60K hard-disk unit is a 1.8-inch, 60 GB external storage unit with an USB 2.0 interface. Users can achieve approximate recording times of 200 minutes in 35 Mbps HQ (high-quality) mode and 260 minutes in 25 Mbps SP (standard play) mode.
When attached to a camcorder, the hard-disk unit functions just like an SxS PRO card, with thumbnail views available on the LCD panel of the PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3 camcorders or PMW-EX30 deck.
Sony`s unique CyberCapture™ technology allows clips to be recorded at a stable transfer speed, leading to fewer frame drops under challenging conditions such as extreme temperatures or vibrations and shock.
A new "dumping" system is used to protect the HDD from a 1.5m drop, and buffer memory is used to allow recording immediately after powering on. Also, a salvage function enables restoration of content damaged by battery/cable disconnection or accidental powering down during recording.
A 3G sensor and the buffer memory allow for stable recording. When the G sensor detects that the unit is being dropped, the head of the HDD is immediately parked to protect the HDD. The content is temporarily stored in the buffer memory and then restored in the HDD when it is operating again. Approximately 12 hours of continuous operation are possible on a small size BP-U30 battery.
PRODUCT NOTES: 1. Battery: This item does not come with a battery, but the original PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3 camera battery (Model# BP-U30) will power it (not through the camera - but separately). If you have purchased an extended battery or an extra battery for the camera and don`t use the original camera battery or keep it s a spare, you can use it to power the PHU-60K. Or of course, if you are using the camera on AC power you can then use the camera battery to power the PHU-60K. Sony is planning on releasing another model soon that comes with a battery, for a higher price. Please call 1-800-827-3462 if you wish us to contact you when the PHU-60K model with battery is available.
2. Firmware Issue: PMW-EX1 cameras may require a firmware upgrade from Sony before they will work with the PHU-60K. Please check with your authorized Sony service center to determine if you need to have the new firmware installed. With the new PMW-EX3 Camera, it can use the PHU-60K right out of the box. No firmware upgrade is required with the PMW-EX3.
3. Uses one slot: The PHU-60K uses one of the SxS slots in the camera. It connects directly to the camera via an SxS lead i.e. the lead comes directly out of the PHU-60K and directly into one of the SxS slots on the camcorder.
4. Slow & Quick Motion recording:The PHU-60K supports Quick Motion (also known as "under cranking") but, due to the speed limitation of the hard disk drive it cannot support slow motion recording.
