PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
This is preliminary information prepared for NAB 2011. All features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Dual 3-chip 1/2-inch Type Exmor Full-HD CMOS Sensors
The dual 3-chip Exmor CMOS image sensors provide high-quality 3D images with an excellent sensitivity, as well as 1920 x 1080 resolution - meeting the industry standard for broadcast cameras. The 1/2-inch sensor size helps achieve an ideal balance between high quality and compact design - the camcorder body is of similar size to current 2D models.
Dual Lens System
The newly developed dual lens system allows fully synchronized operation between left and right lenses with high accuracy - in focus, zoom, and iris adjustments. With the minimized 45 mm IAD (Inter-Axial Distance) of the dual lens system, this camcorder offers a wide shooting zone to capture good 3D images - especially for near-side shooting, with its support for a 1.2 m minimum convergence distance.
XDCAM EX Recording
The recording format is identical to that of the highly successful PMW-EX1R, PMW-EX3, and PMW-350/320 Series. The proven, high-speed, and intuitive XDCAM EX workflow offers seamless integration with leading non-linear editing software.
SxS Card Slots
Left and right images are recorded on each SxS card separately, in synchronization. As the camcorder features two SxS card slots (one each for the left and right), it offers a long recording duration of over six hours in 3D (with four 64-GB cards).
3D/2D Recording Modes
A 2D shooting mode is available for additional production flexibility. With a single SxS card, the camcorder is able to shoot images only through the left lens. In addition, parallel recording onto the left and right cards is useful as a method of redundant shooting in 2D operation (images recorded on the left and right cards are slightly different, because different lenses are used).
Intuitive convergence control with a dedicated dial feature
Viewfinder with 3.5-inch colour LCD
HD-SDI out (L/R dual stream, audio and TC embedded)
HDMI out (3D/2D) for viewing on consumer 3D displays
Genlock in & TC in/out for integration with multi-camera systems
