Sony PXW-X70 NTSC-PAL Full HD XDCAM Handheld Camcorder

The Sony PXW-X70 features a 1.0 type Exmor™ R CMOS Sensor with a resolution of 20 megapixels. The sensor, which is even larger than the Super 16mm film frame, delivers high resolution and fantastic low light performance, as well as offering more depth of field control as demanded by today’s diverse shooting requirements. The new camcorder has the ability to record High Definition in XAVC Long GOP, enabling 422 10-bit sampling at 50 Mbit/s. This in-turn supports a broadcast-quality workflow, increasingly adopted by productions in many different professional applications. A fixed ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens achieves 12x optical zoom which can be doubled to 24x with Clear Image Zoom and doubled again to 48x with Digital Extender zoom. There is also a ND Filter function, allowing you to choose four conventional mechanical ND filter positions. Advanced features include Wi-Fi/NFC (Near Field Communication) with Content Browser Mobile™, plus dual media slots, “Simul” or “Relay” recording, and independent record control. 1.0 type Exmor R CMOS Sensor for stunning picture qualityHigh sensitivity and fantastic resolution with 14.2 million effective pixels delivers striking detail and colors, even in low light conditions. Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar T* lensThe lens offers a 12x optical zoom, which can be increased to 24x with Clear Image Zoom while retaining full resolution thanks to Super Resolution Technology. Zoom performance can be doubled at any point with a Digital Extender by up to 48x. Breadth of recording format capabilities and 4K ready Provides multiple choices depending on application required, including XAVC, AVCHD and DV file-based recording. When recording in XAVC, the PXW-X70 uses the MXF file format, efficiently compressing full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 CODEC. Image sampling is 4:2:2 10-bit with high-efficiency Long-GOP compression at 50 Mbps, 35 Mbps or 25 Mbps. The PXW-X70 is also 4K ready and can handle 4K recordings with a future upgrade. Built-in Wi-Fi control functionality for monitoring and remote control versatilityNear Field Communication functions enable easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet, while the Content Browser Mobile application allows confirmation of shot angles and operation of the camcorder by remote, including field angle setting, spot focus and iris adjustment. 1.0" type Exmor R CMOS sensor for a wide range of shooting conditions High sensitivity and high resolution Compact body Optical 12x ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens with lens ring 24x Clear Image Zoom, and 48x Digital Zoom ND filter control mechanism Focus, Zoom, and Iris manual control i-Fi/NFC (Near Field Communication) with Content Browser Mobile, and Video/Audio Streaming for future upgrade XAVC HD422 10bit recording, and 4K ready in near future Dual media slots for simultaneous/relay recording, and independent record control Slow & Quick Motion Picture Profile 99 Camera Profiles Multi Interface Shoe (MI Shoe) for flexible connection Viewfinder includes amazing OLED technology 3G HD-SDI output and HDMI standard size connector have Timecode and REC trigger
