Sony PXW-X160 Full HD XDCAM Handheld Camcorder

The Sony PXW-X160 camcorder features three 1/3-inch type Exmor� CMOS sensors and records Full HD XAVC Intra and XAVC Long GOP, as well as MPEG HD 422 50 Mbps MPEG HD 420 35 Mbps, AVCHD and DV, making it ideal for a wide range of applications from education/videography to broadcast. As the successor of HVR-Z7 and HXR-NX5, the PXW-X160 has a lot of attractive features, including dual SxS memory card slots, a G Series fixed 25x HD zoom lens with 26mm wide angle and variable ND filter, that provides four conventional mechanical 4 ND filter positions or a linear switch dial for more control in changing light conditions. Three 1/3" type Exmor� CMOS Full HD Sensors for a Wide-Range of Shooting Conditions - The PXW-X160 incorporates three 1/3"type Full-HD Exmor� CMOS sensors to achieve high resolution, high sensitivity,low noise, and wide dynamic range. The sensor has 2 million effective pixelsand achieves full HD 1920 x 1080 shooting without pixel interpolation,enhancing shooting under severe lighting conditions and providing more freedomof creative expression. 25x professional HD zoom lens with 3 Independent Rings with End-Stop and Large Focal Length - The PXW-X160 is equipped with a GSeries fixed 25x zoom lens with 26mm wide-angle. Due to a quick electric zoomfunction, the change of shooting from wide-angle to tele-angle can be madequickly. The lens has three independent control rings with end-stop, whichmeans focus, zoom, and iris can be manually controlled, making for better andfaster adjustment. High-Quality XAVC Intra and XAVC Log GOP Recordings - The PXW-X160 supports not only MPEG HD 422 50 Mbps in MXF (Material eXchange Format), which is widely accepted by major broadcasters worldwide, but also XAVC Intra and XAVC Long GOP codecs. XAVC technology is based on the H.264standard, which provides an exceptional performance compression technology.XAVC Intra (frame) compression means that every frame is encoded independentof the other frames � providing a better quality picture, without compromises.With a Long GOP codec, only certain frames are encoded individually. Thisallows the codec to squeeze the video into a much smaller bitrate than Intratechnology. The main benefit is faster ingest and editing. XAVC Long GOP filesalso require less storage space than XAVC Intra files, providing budget savings on recording media. The XAVC codec adopts 10 bit sampling for high definition recording with rich tonal expression. The bite rate of XAVC recording is 111 or 112 Mbps at 1080/59.94i or 50i and 89, or 112 Mbps at1080/23.98P or 25p. The high bit rate gives a better quality picture. Switchable Recordings for Greater Flexibility - As well as shooting at XAVC HD, MPEG HD 422 50 Mbps and MPEG HD 420 35 Mbps, the camcorder also supports DVCAM at 25 Mbps in MXF file format and AVCHD in MTS file format, which is compatible with NXCAM camcorders. MPEG HD 422 gives ahigh quality image with more detailed color reproduction, as well as beingideal for chroma keying. It is also compatible with other XDCAM HD 422 andNXCAM camcorders, including the PMW-500, the PMW-200, HXR-NX3/VG1 and many others, which streamlines workflow and reduces time in the edit. High-quality MPEG HD422 50 Mbps is fully compliant with the latest EBU recommendations forlong-form broadcast production and is widely accepted in broadcasting stationsand production houses. This recording capability makes the PXW-X160 ideal for a wide range of different applications, including news gathering, anddocumentary production. Dual SxS Media Slots, �Simul� or �Relay� Recording, and Independent Record Control - The PXW-X160 is equipped with two SxS memory card slots. The camcorder is compatible with SxS PRO+ and SxS-1 memory cards, XQD, SDXC and SDHC cards can be also used with an appropriate card adaptor. Two media slots can record in either �Simul� or �Relay� mode. �Simul�mode permits simultaneous recording to two memory cards, while �Relay� mode automatically switches recording from the first to the second memory card when the first is full. The user can set up the two Start/Stop buttons on the PXW-X160, one on the grip and one on the camcorder body, to independently start and stop recording on different memory cards while recording in Simulmode. Variable Dual ND Filter Control Mechanism - The PXW-X160is equipped with a variable ND Filter function, allowing you to choose either four conventional mechanical ND filter positions or the linear control dial.The optical filter changes the density electrically, allowing the light amount to be reduced more conveniently. The density can be changed gradually and fluidly. Different from conventional optical ND filters, the ND filter on the PXW-X160 can be controlled from 1/4ND to 1/128ND linearly. By choosing the density value properly, the iris control has more flexibility. Multi Interface Shoe (MI Shoe) for Flexible Connection Without XLR Cable - The PXW-X160 is equipped with a Multi
