XDCAM HD CINEALTA CAMCORDER PDWF350L


Optical Disc-based HD Solution for a Wide Spectrum of Video Professionals

Since its debut in 2004, Sony's XDCAM™ Professional Disc system – an optical disc-based video production system – has been widely adopted for use by a large number of broadcast stations, production companies, sports teams, corporations, houses of worship and government and educational facilities around the world. Users have been enjoying the tremendous benefits of its disc-based operations, such as instant random access and network capability to name just two. At the same time, video productions have been moving rapidly toward HD acquisition and programming, and accordingly they are looking for a wider choice of tools that can meet many different requirements for picture quality, ease of operation while still meeting their budget.

To address this growing demand, Sony introduces the XDCAM HD lineup – a HD version of the successful XDCAM products. This new XDCAM HD lineup includes the PDW-F350 camcorder, the PDW-F70 recording deck, and the PDW-F30 viewing deck. They are capable of recording 1080i video lines of multiple frame rates at a high bit rate of up to 35 Mb/s using the "MPEG HD" codec based on MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. The XDCAM HD products also provide four channels of high-quality uncompressed audio.

Another distinct advantage of the XDCAM HD lineup is that the camcorder offers HD/SD dual-format recording capability with support for the new "XDCAM HD" format and the well-proven DVCAM™ format, providing users with an SD to HD migration path. Up- and down-conversion capabilities are also incorporated into each product*, further increasing operational flexibility. With its outstanding HD picture quality, high level of versatility, and significant workflow efficiencies achieved by the disc-based recording, the XDCAM HD lineup will be an ideal choice for all video professionals looking for an HD solution to meet today's and tomorrow's requirements.
* Up-conversion is available on the PDW-F70 and PDW-F30 decks.
