  • The PDW-680 XDCAM HD422 camcorder is a mid-range Professional Disc camcorder with many of the same features as the more advanced PDW-700. The PDW-680 has three 2/3-inch type Exmor CMOS sensors for recording 1080/50i or 1080/60i HD images or MPEG IMX and DVCAM SD, as standard. Progressive mode is available only for playback. More IT based operation. The PDW-680 is designed to enable a smooth migration from tape camcorder use to PC-based operation to improve workflow efficiency with MXF/MPEG interoperability and metadata functions.

    • Three 2/3-inch type Exmor CMOS sensors with high sensitivity
    • Lower power consumption for longer battery life
    • Choice of SD or HD operation
    • Maximum x4 Digital Extender function for magnification without loss of image sensitivity
    • High-quality 4-channel 24-bit audio recording
    • Shock and dust-resistant disc drive
    • Slow Shutter speeds for increased creativity
    • Interval Recording function
    • Optical ND filters and electrical CC filters
     
  • The HDW-750P puts all the advantages of shooting High Definition at 25P/50i into the hands of the programme maker, maximising creative opportunities and control without sacrificing portability or battery life. It is an extremely compact and lightweight design, with a robust and reliable construction. Adopting a 2.2 million-pixel FIT CCD, and Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP), the camcorder ensures superb picture quality and low-power consumption.The HDW-750P makes it easier than ever to capture pictures that will satisfy the most exacting producer. By shooting 25 frames per second in progressive scan mode (25P), your shots will share "filmic" motion portrayal that can add a subjective richness to improve both the quality and marketability of your production. And new for 2005/6 is a new version of camcorder software: Version 2. This boosts the latitude of the camcorder to give an even more film-like image, allowing more detail to be seen in the highlight and lowlight areas of the picture.

    • Superb High Definition pictures
    • Peace of mind for High Definition post production
    • Easy integration with Standard Definition
    • Ease-of-use for minimum re-training
  • The PMW-200 is supplied with a 14x Fujinon lens for remarkable picture quality and flexible creative control with three independent rings with end stops. The PMW-200 can also record in a range of different formats as well as being compatible with other XDCAM HD 422 and XDCAM EX equipment. High-quality MPEG HD422 50 Mbps recording is fully compliant with the latest EBU recommendations for long form broadcast production and is widely accepted in broadcasting stations and production houses. This capability ensures the PMW-200 is ideal for a wide range of different applications, including newsgathering and documentary production.

    • Three 1/2-inch type ExmorCMOS Full HD sensors for a wide range of shooting conditions
    • 14x Fujinon professional HD zoom Lens with three independent rings with end stops
    • Optical SteadyShot and LCD panel for focus assist functions
    • High quality MPEG HD 422 recordings
    • WiFi remote control*
    • Switchable recordingsfor greater flexibility
    • Slow and quick motion from 1 fps to 60 fps
    • Two SxS Memory Card slots

  • The PMW-EX3 combines a state-of-the-art, non-linear XDCAM workflow with simply the best HD quality yet seen in a semi-shoulder camcorder. It is also the first semi-shoulder camcorder to carry the legendary CineAlta 24P brand with multiple frame rate recording capability such as 59.94i, 50i, and native 23.98P, as well being 1080i/720P switchable. There is also a choice of a 35Mb/s High Quality mode or a 25Mb/s, HDV 1080i compatible mode. To take advantage of this high performance recording capability, the PMW-EX3 uses the same imaging system as the PMW-EX1, consisting of three ½-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920x1080. In addition, there's a purpose-built interchangeable Fujinon Professional HD ½-inch 14x lens and a unique dual focus ring mechanism. Included in the package is a ½-inch lens adaptor to allow use of other ½-inch lenses, plus the ability to use other optional lens adaptors for 2/3rd-inch, cinema-style and digital SLR lenses. To maximise recording time, the PMW-EX3 has two memory card slots which means with a pair of 16 GB SxS PRO memory cards, it can record up to 140 minutes of HD footage.

  • The PDW-700 captures stunning HD images. It features three newly developed 2/3-inch progressive Power HAD FX CCDs at 1920 x 1080 resolution. 14-bit A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing are also used to ensure the highest picture quality. The PDW-700 records at a data rate of up to 50Mb/s using an MPEG-2 4:2:2P@HL compression technology called MPEG HD422. The camcorder features multi-format recording at 1080/50i, 1080/59.94i, 1080/25P, 1080/29.97P*, 720/50P* and 720/59.94P*. It also supports record and playback of XDCAM HD* (4:2:0) at 35Mb/s, 25Mb/s and 18Mb/s**, and XDCAM standard definition MPEG IMX and DVCAM material***. With fast file-based operation and outstanding picture quality, the XDCAM HD422 line-up has widened the appeal of XDCAM for applications such TV drama, documentaries and general entertainment programs, and for ENG where speed of operation is a critical requirement.

    * 1080/29.97P, 720/50P, 720/59.94P and XDCAM HD (4:2:0) operation requires V1.2 firmware. ** Operation in MPEG HD at 18Mb/s is replay only. *** SD operation requires CBKZ-MD01 option.
  • Since first appearing on the market, the HDW-750P HDCAM camcorder has become associated with the very best in quality programming, helping establish HDCAM as the preferred High Definition format worldwide. Many of the best programmes on-air in Europe today continue to be shot using the HDW-750P.

    The HDW-790P features an extremely compact and lightweight design, with a robust and reliable construction. The use of three 2.2 million-pixel FIT CCDs, and 12-bit Advanced Digital Signal Processing (ADSP) ensures superb picture quality.

    In addition to 12bit ADSP, the HDW-790P also shares a number of other features with the top-of-the-range HDW-F900R. These include 2 HD-SDI outputs, inputs for recording 4 channels of 20-bit AES/EBU digital audio and 4 HyperGamma settings, which allow the cinematographer to precisely optimise the desired 'look' of the acquired image. A choice of either colour or monochrome viewfinder completes the feature set

  • The RM-B170 remote control unit is the successor to the RM-B150. It provides an even more affordable solution for basic remote camera operations, with added features, including the remote control of media and the operation of clips of non-linear media. It can be directly connected to a camera or camcorder as a portable-type remote control unit or it can be connected to a CCU for use as a simple remote control panel. The RM-B170 can control a camera from a distance of up to 100m (328 feet) when connected directly to the camera.

  • The PXW-FS7 reflects years of intense conversations we’ve had with documentary shooters. In response, we completely redesigned the grip, improved the viewfinder, optimised the balance and refined the ergonomics. Of course, the FS7 also reflects Sony’s expertise in 4K and HD codecs, Super 35 sensors and memory recording. The result is the ideal camera for documentaries and the optimum tool for magazine shows, reality TV, unscripted TV and more.
