The most versatile camcorder in its
price range; it's your choice to shoot in SD or HD, to use your
familiar AV-based way of working or XDCAM's world-leading
advanced AV/IT workflow.
The PDW-F335 is a true-shoulder mount camcorder, perfectly
balanced to fit on your shoulder.
The PDW-F335 is exceptionally versatile; at the flick of a
switch you have the choice of shooting
50i/59.94i/23.98P/25P/29.97P pictures in DV and HD. So you can
shoot a local news assignment today, a wedding video tomorrow
and your independent short film the day after - all with the
same camera, all with the exact settings required to excel in
each application.
At the heart of the PDW-F335 is XDCAM Professional Disc - the
world's bestselling, most affordable and most widely supported
non-linear acquisition system. The benefits of XDCAM begin from
the moment you begin shooting. You can mark key scenes manually,
then review scenes by simply selecting their thumbnail images on
the colour fold-out screen. Non-linear media means instant scene
access and there's no need to worry about overwriting content
either.
And by using the latest 50GB Dual Layer Professional Disc,
recording times are increased to more than 3 hours when shooting
DVCAM, and to around 2.5 hours when shooting high quality HD.
With XDCAM HD you choose the pace at which you move to the full
potential of an advanced AV/IT, file-based workflow. For
post-production, the PDW-F335 outputs a standard DV-based stream
so your existing NLE set-up will work with it just the same as a
DV/DVCAM camcorder. You can also replay material via an XDCAM HD
deck, such as the PDW-F75, for high definition MXF file transfer
to your edit system.
The PDW-F335 is engineered to provide you with the most
cost-effective and versatile camcorder you can imagine for the
way you work today and tomorrow
Providing a stunning
array of features, the PDW-F335 is designed to get the best out
of every shoot. This Sony professional camcorder has been
designed to provide the very best features at the very best
price - there's no need to compromise on quality, functionality
or results!
HD-native
16:9/4:3 Switchable CCDs
XDCAM HD Camcorders incorporate three HD-native, 16:9/4:3
switchable 1/2-inch CCDs, offering outstanding-quality images
with a low smear level and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Real-time SD
output
Even when recording in MPEG HD, XDCAM HD camcorders output a
real-time SD signal via i.LINK DV out and composite out, further
enhancing versatility and operational compatibility (e.g. with
monitors or recording equipment on location.)
Advanced
Optical Features
The XDCAM HD Camcorder has a built-in optical Neutral Density
(ND) filter wheel with four positions and a slow shutter -
supporting up to 64-frame accumulations. An auto-focus function
is built-in (compatible lens required) and there is also an
optional lens adaptor for 2/3-inch lenses.
HD 1080
Recording at Selectable Frame & Bit Rates
XDCAM HD products can record video signals in 1080/59.94i, 50i,
29.97P, 25P and native 23.98P - using a "MPEG HD" codec with
industry standard MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. The user can also
select the following bit rates; 35, 25 or 18Mb/s depending on
picture quality and recording length requirements. When using
the new 50GB Dual Layer Professional Disc the highest bit rate
of 35Mb/s results in a recording time of more than 145 minutes,
while choosing 18Mb/s provides a recording time of more than 248
minutes - the longest recording time offered by any current HD
camcorder. MPEG HD images are recorded at 1440x1080 pixels with
4:2:0 sampling.
DVCAM Recording
and Up/Down conversion
To maximise HD/SD workflow flexibility, all XDCAM HD Camcorders
can record in the ubiquitous DVCAM format with a choice of
NTSC/PAL and 16:9/4:3 modes. In addition, both camcorder and
decks incorporate a down-conversion capability that allows
material recorded in the MPEG HD format to be converted to DV
signals and output via the i.LINK port - enabling users to edit
the material using compatible DV-based non-linear editors. DVCAM
is recorded at 25Mb/s allowing approximately 185 minutes
recording per Dual Layer disc. In NTSC mode, sampling is 4:1:1
with 480 active lines per frame. In PAL mode, sampling is 4:2:0
with 576 active lines per frame.
High-quality
Audio Recording
XDCAM HD products can record two or four-channel, 16-bit, 48-kHz
uncompressed (Linear PCM) audio - delivering high sound quality.
File-based Disc
Recording
Because the XDCAM system records video and audio as IT-type
files rather than a linear AV stream, XDCAM HD products offer a
range of powerful benefits:
Instant random access to content
Automatic recording onto empty disc space (no need to worry
about overwriting valuable content)
Easy integration into other IT-based equipment such as
Non-Linear Editing and Arching Systems and Archive
Advanced network-based workflow via i.LINK FAM (File Access
Mode) or Ethernet
High Speed File Transfer
Advanced Scene
Selection Functionality
The PDW-F335's 16:9 3.5-inch colour LCD displays a highly
advanced interface giving access to features most camcorders
leave to post production. For example, a thumbnail display
provides immediate access to detailed metadata or key scenes
(selected automatically and/or manually) for quickly reviewing
content on site. You can even perform simple cuts-only editing
on the camera itself.
Advanced Proxy
Recording
XDCAM HD products automatically record low-resolution AV data
simultaneously with the HD or SD resolution data on the same
disc. This low resolution content - called "Proxy Data" - uses
MPEG-4 for a low data rate (1.5Mb/s for video and 0.5Mb/s for
audio) while still offering reasonable quality. For a
fast-breaking news story, Proxy Data could even be relayed over
a low bandwidth link (e.g. mobile phone) and broadcast. In
normal circumstances, Proxy AV applications include:
Immediate logging on location
Off-line editing
Daily rushes
Client Approvals
Content library browsing
Proxy Data can be browsed and edited on most popular NLEs. In
addition, all XDCAM HD products are supplied with PDZ-1 Proxy
Browsing software for Windows PC which supports drag-and-drop
content transfers.
High Level of
Reliability
XDCAM HD camcorders share the same platform as the XDCAM SD
products which have proven themselves in demanding applications
all around the world. As there is no mechanical contact between
media and recording heads, a high level of durability and long
media life have been achieved. XDCAM products have also
demonstrated exceptional resistance to shock, vibrations and
extremes of climate.
Comprehensive
interfaces
The PDW-F335 features a wide-range of input-outputs and
interfaces for maximum production flexibility:
Input: Front stereo microphone, analogue audio (2-channel),
timecode, gen-lock
Output: HD analogue component, SD analogue component, SD

Compatibility
with today and tomorrow's workflow
The PDW-F335 is built around support for existing standards such
as DV/DVCAM and open standards like MXF so you've got the
maximum flexibility to use it just the way you want:
Stay with DV/DVCAM format to work with existing non-linear
editors via traditional i.LINK interface
i.LINK, analogue video, analogue/digital audio interfaces for
connectivity to a wide range of editing systems
i.LINK File Access Mode (FAM) interface for high-speed,
file-based in/out connectivity to a PC
MXF open standard ensures maximum compatibility with new
generation NLEs
Long-term accessibility - storing content as files means you
will always be able to access data in the future
Faster, Smarter
Archiving
You don't need an expensive
IT-storage system to revolutionise the way you store, retrieve
and manage your archive material. While Professional Discs costs
the same as tape, they're a true high-speed, non-linear media
with a wealth of advanced meta-data automatically generated in
camera:
Import metadata and/or low resolution proxies onto your PC hard
drive for a smart, searchable mirror of your high resolution
archive
Locate, watch and even edit proxy clips quickly using fast
search of metadata, then instantly locate the archived high
resolution content
Non-linear media means faster, more reliable access to valuable
archive content
Professional Discs will retain information for 50 years in
normal conditions
Because information is stored as data files, there's no worries
about video standards not being around in years to come
