The PMW-EX3 follows on from the successful
launch of the new PMW-EX1
and offers all the great features of the
PMW-EX1 in a new semi-shoulder
design. In addition to this new design the
camcorder also features an interchangeable
lens system, genlock, timecode and remote
control
capability for real added flexibility,
offering a low-cost HD studio solution.
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.
