Sony PMW 400K: Overview |
Sony PMW-400K is three 2/3-inch high quality broadcast camcorder with Exmor CMOS sensors. These sensors with an pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V) provides
excellent resolution, dynamic range and color reproduction capabilities for the camcorder and helps to capture images with a shallower depth of field, gives users more freedom of creative expression. PMW-400 is studio configurable. It
features DVCAM recording option, 3DNR (Three Dimensional Noise Reduction) technology delivering a cleaner signal for better Signal-to-Noise ratio and Flash-Band compensation. PMW-400 has a compact body and ergonomically
well-balanced which provides high level of mobility and comfort in a various shooting situations.
Sony PMW-400K can record XAVC 10-bit HD422 recordings, including XAVC Intra frame 10-bit HD 422 100 Mbps and XAVC Long GOP 10-bit HD 422 (low bit rate). PMW-400 also features
WiFi remote and 2x SD/HD-SDI parallel outputs. The CBK-CE01 (optional) interface allows users to convert shoulder camcorder into system camera with digital triax
