Choice of HD Recording
Formats, including both interlaced and
progressive
The HDW-650F offers a choice of video formats for both frame rates
and scanning mode. Acquisition of pictures at a resolution of 1920
x 1080 in 50i, 59.94i and 25P is provided.
•
Three 2/3-inch HD Power
HAD FX CCDs
The HDW-650F is equipped with three 2/3-inch type 2.2-megapixel HD
CCDs, which are also used in Sony's class leading HDC-1500 HD
Camera.
Based on Sony's Power HAD FX sensor technology and the latest
on-chip lens structure, the HDW-650P offers a high sensitivity of
F11 at 59.94 Hz or F12 at 50 Hz.

•
Superb Signal-to-noise
Ratio
A signal-to-noise ratio of 59dB can be achieved by activating the
Noise Suppression (NS) mode of the HDW-650F, which helps to reduce
the high-frequency noise elements of video signals using Sony's
advanced digital processing technology.
•
14-bit A/D
Conversion
The HDW-650F incorporates high-performance 14-bit A/D conversion so
that images captured by the high-performance CCDs can be processed
with maximum precision.
This high-resolution A/D conversion allows mid- to dark-tone areas
of the picture to be faithfully reproduced. Thanks to the 14-bit
A/D converter, pre-knee signal compression in highlighted areas can
be eliminated, and the camera can clearly reproduce a
high-luminance subject at a 600% dynamic range*.
*In 1080/50i and 59.94i mode.
•
3.5-inch*
LCD
A large, easy-to-view, colour LCD screen on the HDW-650F
camcorder's side panel enables operators to instantly review
recorded footage - as well as access the camera's set-up menus, and
view status indications such as the four channels of audio and the
remaining time available from the tape and battery.
*Viewable area measured diagonally. |
•
New Audio Capability:
Digital Wireless Microphone Receiver
The HDW-650F is compatible with a range of microphones.
It is equipped with a slot to accommodate the DWR-S01D* digital
wireless microphone receiver, which provides two-channel audio with
stable and secure transmission tolerant to interference.
The status of the digital wireless microphone system can be
monitored through both the camcorder's viewfinder and the LCD
display.
Shotgun-type microphones, such as the ECM-680S/678/674, are also
available as options.

•
Well-balanced Compact
Body
The ergonomic design of the HDW-650P provides optimum weight
balance, allowing users to enjoy comfortable hand-held operation.
Because its centre of gravity is located roughly at the centre
point of the shoulder pad, operating the camera for long periods on
the shoulder causes less strain on the supporting arm. The
HDW-650P's light body weighs just 4.2 kg (9 lb 4 oz).
•
Down-conversion
Capability
The HDW-650F is equipped with a built-in down-conversion system as
standard. Down-converted pictures can be output via SD-SDI for SD
post production or monitoring.
•
Picture Cache
Recording
The HDW-650F offers a picture cache recording function that is
especially useful.
Up to eight seconds of audio and video are buffered in the
camcorder's memory before the Rec. start button is pressed (when in
Standby mode).
This ensures that action up to eight seconds before the Rec. start
button was pressed will still be captured. Cache recording works
even before the tape is inserted into the drive - helping to
prevent the loss of any unexpected, yet important
events. |
•
Slow
Shutter*
The shutter speed of the HDW-650F is selectable down to a 16-frame
period (in 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, and 16-frame periods).
During this frame period, electrical charges accumulate on the
CCDs, which dramatically increases sensitivity. This helps camera
operators to shoot in extremely dark environments.
The Slow Shutter function also allows operators to use shutter
speeds longer than the frame rate, for enhanced shooting
creativity. For example, when shooting a moving object, to create
intentional blurring of the image.
•
Other Features Provided
as Standard
Four types of HyperGamma characteristic as standard: HyperGamma 1,
2, 3, and 4. Operators can select the best-suited preset gamma
curve depending on the scene being shot and their desired 'look'
for the image.
Supports AES/EBU Digital Audio input, in addition to microphone
input, +48 V microphone input, and line input
Trigger REC function (HD-SDI Remote Function: REC
