Ultimate mobile camcorder
for the professional videographers |
|
Sony's HXR-NX30 is an
ultra-compact, palm-size, professional NXCAM
camcorder compatible with the latest FULL HD
formats including 1080/50p video. It
features a 26.0mm ultra wide-angle lens with
10x optical zoom (35mm equivalent:
26-260mm), and a backilluminated Exmor R™
CMOS sensor for outstanding versatility.
Like other NXCAM camcorders, it comes with
the features professional users demand,
including flexible timecode/user bit
settings and XLR audio inputs for high
reliability and high sound quality. One of
the HXR-NX30P's biggest advantages is the
newly developed Balanced Optical SteadyShot™
image stabilization system. This allows the entire optical
block, from the lens to the image sensor, to
"float" and absorb movement from the body.
The result is extremely effective image
stabilization even when zooming in,
something previously difficult to achieve,
ensuring handheld shooting with a new level
of image stability. It is an ideal feature
if you are out in the field alone and
handheld operation is required whilewalking
or using the zoom. Designed to meet the
needs of a wide range of professional
situations, the lightweight, compact and
affordable HXR NX30U is a powerful tool for
gathering footage alone and as a B-camera
during multi-camera shoots.

Ultra Wide-angle 26.0mm
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens and Exmor R
CMOS Image Sensor |
|
The HXRNX30P comes with
a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens that
suppresses unwanted reflections to assure
faithful color reproduction. It also
provides high contrast and high image
quality with exceptional resolution from
26.0mm wide angle to 260mm telephoto (35mm
equivalent). Thanks to the 6-blade iris
diaphragm, you can enjoy exceptionally
realistic expression of natural light. And
even when shooting dark scenes, the
back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor
provides high sensitivity and low noise that
are hard to believe fromsuch a compact unit.
What is more, using a 1/2.88-inch type
sensor with an aspect ratio of 16:9 is ideal
for wide-angle shooting. This lets you
record images with even higher definition. |

Balanced Optical
SteadyShot™ |
|
The innovative Balanced
Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
system eliminates the influence of
vibrations from the body by enclosing the
entire optical block, from the lens to
the image sensor, in a "floating" space.
Combined with electronic image stabilization
that compensates for rotation around the
optical axis, this new system provides
powerful image stabilization even when
shooting whilst zooming, which was
previously difficult to achieve. So now you
can record stable images with minimal blur,
every time. |
 
|
|
FIXED SHOT mode |
|
To optimize the effect of
Balanced Optical SteadyShot™, the HXR-NX30P
features a FIXED SHOT mode. Press a button
and this expands the movable range
of the optical block to keep you locked on
your subject. This is particularly
convenient when you want to maintain the same shooting
angle for an extended period.

|
|
You can shoot at 60fps
progressive (1080/60p) with 1920x1080 Full
HD resolution. And using a
24p timeline setting with AVCHD 2.0 compatible NLE software enables conversion to smooth slow-motion images up to 2.5x slower. You can also select 1280x720 60p and a wide range of
other formats. *1: Realized using the
“By Pixel Super Resolution” technology. *2: Dual Rec is not
active while recording mode is set to FX or PS.

96GB embedded Flash
Memory and Memory Stick / SD Multi Card Slot
|
|
The built-in 96GB
embedded Flash memory can record and store
up
to 40 hours of high
definition video footage in HD LP mode with
Dolby Digital audio mode. And there is an amulet-card
slot that lets you record
video images on Memory Stick
PRO Duo™ and SD cards, giving you a range of options in your choice of recording
media. You can also use these readily available
cards to copy data from
internal memory.

XLR Adaptor with
Selectable Phantom Power and ECM-XM1 Shotgun Microphone Enabling
High-Quality Linear PCM Recording
|
|
The detachable handle has
an ergonomic design that is comfortable and
compact. Two
balanced XLR audio inputs
are built-in with phantom power and
attenuation options that
professional users
require for clean sound quality. Default
audio settings for XLR recording
are highlighted in green
for easy reference in the field in order to
reduce operator error
under difficult lighting
conditions.
The ECM-XM1 shotgun
microphone mounted on top of the handle
provides audio
recording performance
similar to larger shoulder-mounted ENG style
cameras.
The HXR NX30U is also ready to record
high-quality 48kHz/16 bit Linear PCM audio. |
  |
|
Timecode/User Bit
Recording and HDMI Embedded Timecode Output
The HXRNX30 features
the important professional camcorder
functions of timecode and user bit settings.
Like other NXCAM camcorders, the
HXR-NX30P’s timecodes can
be centrally reset using the supplied
infrared remote control to allow easy
synchronization of video from multiple
cameras. Using NLE
software, live footage shot with multiple
NXCAM camcorders can be efficiently edited
with timecode sync. Timecodes and user
bits can also be output through an
HDMI jack. |
|
Built-in Light
You can use this built-in light as a flash when shooting still images or
as an auxiliary light source when recording video. Using the NightShot mode is particularly effective when recording in
low-light conditions and allows you to capture otherwise impossible shots.
|
 |
|
Built-in Projector
A built-in projector can
project images up to 100 inches wide (when
projecting 5m from a screen, 40 inches wide
when projecting 2m from a screen).
Large-screen projection of images enables
all the staff involved to check the rushes
at the end of the shoot and reduces the need
for an external display.
|
|
|
|
Built-in USB cable for
easy file transfer/charge
The high-speed, built-in
USB 2.0 cable allows for easy connection to your computer for
charging or file transfer without having to remember separate cables.
It also fits conveniently into the hand
strap so it’s out of the
way until you need it. Charging your camcorder is faster than
ever now through the USB; for every two minutes of charge time you get one
minute of recording time |
 |
 |
|
Direct Copy to external
HDD without PC
Store your memories or
backup important shots by copying footage
directly from your
camcorder to an external hard disk drive*,
which is
sold separately, all
without the need for a computer. Your
camcorder

stored on the external hard drive for
playback
on your HDTV, allowing
you to utilize the camcorder’s handy
playback
features.
1. Direct Copy is
compatible with USB media that meets the
following requirements
• USB media that meets
the USB2.0 requirement.
• For external HDD or USB
memory under 2TB, an AC powered external HDD
is recommended.
• USB media formatted in
the FAT32 file system. In the case when USB
media is not in
FAT32 file system,
reformatting is required and all data will
be erased.
Note: There may be cases
when USB media is not compatible with the
Direct Copy function.
2. When using Direct Copy
the camcorder needs to be connected to AC
power.
3. Using
VMC-UAM1(supplied) cable when the HXR-NX30U
is connected to External HDD.
4. Connection via USB-hub is not
supported.

Geotagging with built-in
GPS receiver
A built-in GPS receiver
makes the HXR-NX30P an ideal choice for
professional
videographers. The receiver gives you the
ability to “tag”
your shooting locations
as a future reference if you need to return
to
the same location or to
create a log of areas covered when surveying
remote locations.
Additionally, the
receiver automatically adjusts your
camcorder’s
clock to the proper time
zone when international travel is part of
your
assignment. Your
locations can be tracked on Google Maps™ and
all
GPS data can be extracted with a CMU
is supplied PC software.
