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.)
