Sony PMW-500 (PMW500) XDCAM EX 422 camcorder - 50Mb/s + 3 x 2/3inch Power-HAD FX CCD sensors

The Sony PMW-500 is the first XDCAM EX solid state camcorder to meet the 50Mb/s data-rate that is required by some broadcasters for full HD programme content production.

As such it has been BBC approved for News and Current Affairs and is the corporation's camcorder of choice for Journalism.

It is in essence a PDW-700 camera head inside the chassis of a PMW-350L, delivering the benefits of a high quality CCD camera and solid state workflow.

As such we believe that the PMW-500 is likely to become the most popular choice for tapeless broadcast production.

The PMW-500 is Sony Professional’s first XDCAM HD422 Camcorder with solid state recording. It supports full-HD 422 50-Mbps MXF record and playback based on highly developed MPEG-2 Long GOP compression technology. Uniquely, it can also be switched to record in HD 420 35-Mbps MP4 format which makes for seamless integration when used alongside XDCAM EX models.

Its 2/3-inch type three Power HAD FX CCD sensors deliver the same outstanding picture quality and low-light performance as the acclaimed PDW-700, however it records onto Solid State SxS media rather than optical Professional Disc.

The exceptionally ergonomic chassis is a development of the acclaimed PDW-700/F800, while already class-leading power consumption is further reduced along with weight for superb on-location usability.

Sony’s XDCAM product range sets the benchmark for high speed, exceptionally flexible, file-based workflow. XDCAM Professional Disc products were first introduced in 2004, followed by high-speed memory-based XDCAM EX in 2007. A common technology platform provides a unique hybrid workflow meeting a broad variety of customer application needs.

    Notes

    Photolease is an independent finance company who have specialised in leasing equipment to the imaging industry for over twenty five years.

    THE ADVANTAGES OF LEASING

    1. Banking facilities left available for special projects and unforeseen expenses.
    2. Small initial outlay usually amounting to just one months rental.
    3. Payment can be spread over a period of one to four years dependent upon value and type of equipment.
    4. A single payment at the end of the lease guarantees retention of the asset for the remainder of its working life.
    5. If you want to sell the equipment after the lease has ended you will receive the sale proceeds.
    6. Rentals are fully tax deductible.
    7. Cash flow is protected and the asset earns revenue in payment of the lease.
    8. No need to be VAT registered.

     

     

    What happens at the end of the lease?

    We will extend the agreement indefinitely on payment of a single further monthly rental. After that you can keep the equipment and will never have to pay any more.

    Isn't leasing just for companies who can't afford the cash?
    No. Companies who lease do so because they know that there are better uses for their spare funds.

    Is leasing only relevant for large acquisitions?
    No. Transactions of all sizes are completed using lease agreements. You can lease equipment worth as little as £1000.

    Do I have to insure the equipment?
    Yes. It is your responsibility to keep the equipment insured for all risks for the term of the agreement.

    What happens if the equipment becomes faulty?
    You have the protection of the manufacturers and/or suppliers warranty. Responsibility for repairs out of warranty are yours.

    What about VAT?
    Rentals attract VAT. This can be reclaimed if you are VAT registered.

    What can be included in the agreement?
    Leasing enables the whole solution to be financed. This can include hardware, software, installation, training and warranties

    Can the equipment be upgraded?
    Yes. The equipment can be upgraded during the course of the agreement. Speak to us for further details.

    Is it possible to settle the agreement early?
    Yes. However we always recommend you speak to your accountant to make sure it does not create an adverse tax position.

    Is there a penalty for settling early?
    No. If you clear the account before it has run it’s full term then there is a reduction in the full amount payable.

    Can I pay a deposit to lower my monthly outlay?
    Yes. However you would need to contact us to find the correct figures based on your deposit amount.

    Customer Reviews

    Although I was just buying a small item I received updates about delivery and expected arrival times. It was easy to find and buy what I wanted and I would definitely use them again. ...
    I'm very pleased with the quality of the service I received. Knowledgeable and friendly staff on the phone and great communication on the status of my order up until dispatch. I would certainly recommend CVP ...
