Sony Electronics recently announced a new HD video recorder, the PDW-70MD. Developed for medical applications, the PDW-70MD can record and store up to two hours worth of high-definition video on a 23GB XDCAM disc.
Sony Electronics today introduced an optical HD recorder to capture and store high-definition video of medical procedures in 1440 x 1080i resolution. The device can record and store up to two hours on a 23GB PFD-23 XDCAM disc, which is sealed to help prevent scratches and preserve data with minimal degradation for more than 50 years, based on Sony's accelerated testing.
The PDW-70MD XDCAM HD recorder integrates a 3.5-inch (viewable area measured diagonally) color LCD screen that allows users to view thumbnail-sized stills of footage accessible through random access memory. This enables users to quickly identify points of interest without manually winding through hours of footage.
The PDW-70MD is available now for a suggested retail price of $14,995. More information can be found on Sony's website.
