The most
versatile camcorder in its price range; it's your choice to shoot
in SD or HD, to use your familiar AV-based way of working or
XDCAM's world-leading advanced AV/IT workflow.
The PDW-F335 is a true-shoulder mount camcorder, perfectly balanced
to fit on your shoulder.
The PDW-F335 is exceptionally versatile; at the flick of a switch
you have the choice of shooting 50i/59.94i/23.98P/25P/29.97P
pictures in DV and HD. So you can shoot a local news assignment
today, a wedding video tomorrow and your independent short film the
day after - all with the same camera, all with the exact settings
required to excel in each application.
At the heart of the PDW-F335 is XDCAM Professional Disc - the
world's bestselling, most affordable and most widely supported
non-linear acquisition system. The benefits of XDCAM begin from the
moment you begin shooting. You can mark key scenes manually, then
review scenes by simply selecting their thumbnail images on the
colour fold-out screen. Non-linear media means instant scene access
and there's no need to worry about overwriting content either.
And by using the latest 50GB Dual Layer Professional Disc,
recording times are increased to more than 3 hours when shooting
DVCAM, and to around 2.5 hours when shooting high quality HD.
With XDCAM HD you choose the pace at which you move to the full
potential of an advanced AV/IT, file-based workflow. For
post-production, the PDW-F335 outputs a standard DV-based stream so
your existing NLE set-up will work with it just the same as a
DV/DVCAM camcorder. You can also replay material via an XDCAM HD
deck, such as the PDW-F75, for high definition MXF file transfer to
your edit system.
The PDW-F335 is engineered to provide you with the most
cost-effective and versatile camcorder you can imagine for the way
you work today and tomorrow
Providing a stunning array of features, the
PDW-F335 is designed to get the best out of every shoot. This Sony
professional camcorder has been designed to provide the very best
features at the very best price - there's no need to compromise on
quality, functionality or results!
HD-native
16:9/4:3 Switchable CCDs
XDCAM HD Camcorders incorporate three HD-native, 16:9/4:3
switchable 1/2-inch CCDs, offering outstanding-quality images with
a low smear level and a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Real-time SD
output
Even when recording in MPEG HD, XDCAM HD camcorders output a
real-time SD signal via i.LINK DV out and composite out, further
enhancing versatility and operational compatibility (e.g. with
monitors or recording equipment on location.)
Advanced Optical
Features
The XDCAM HD Camcorder has a built-in optical Neutral Density (ND)
filter wheel with four positions and a slow shutter - supporting up
to 64-frame accumulations. An auto-focus function is built-in
(compatible lens required) and there is also an optional lens
adaptor for 2/3-inch lenses. HD 1080 Recording at Selectable Frame & Bit
Rates
XDCAM HD products can record video signals in 1080/59.94i, 50i,
29.97P, 25P and native 23.98P - using a "MPEG HD" codec with
industry standard MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. The user can also
select the following bit rates; 35, 25 or 18Mb/s depending on
picture quality and recording length requirements. When using the
new 50GB Dual Layer Professional Disc the highest bit rate of
35Mb/s results in a recording time of more than 145 minutes, while
choosing 18Mb/s provides a recording time of more than 248 minutes
- the longest recording time offered by any current HD camcorder.
MPEG HD images are recorded at 1440x1080 pixels with 4:2:0
sampling. DVCAM Recording and Up/Down
conversion
To maximise HD/SD workflow flexibility, all XDCAM HD Camcorders can
record in the ubiquitous DVCAM format with a choice of NTSC/PAL and
16:9/4:3 modes. In addition, both camcorder and decks incorporate a
down-conversion capability that allows material recorded in the
MPEG HD format to be converted to DV signals and output via the
i.LINK port - enabling users to edit the material using compatible
DV-based non-linear editors. DVCAM is recorded at 25Mb/s allowing
approximately 185 minutes recording per Dual Layer disc. In NTSC
mode, sampling is 4:1:1 with 480 active lines per frame. In PAL
mode, sampling is 4:2:0 with 576 active lines per frame.
High-quality Audio
Recording
XDCAM HD products can record two or four-channel, 16-bit, 48-kHz
uncompressed (Linear PCM) audio - delivering high sound
quality. File-based Disc Recording
Because the XDCAM system records video and audio as IT-type files
rather than a linear AV stream, XDCAM HD products offer a range of
powerful benefits:
Instant random access to content
Automatic recording onto empty disc space (no need to worry about
overwriting valuable content)
Easy integration into other IT-based equipment such as Non-Linear
Editing and Arching Systems and Archive
Advanced network-based workflow via i.LINK FAM (File Access Mode)
or Ethernet
High Speed File Transfer Advanced Scene Selection
Functionality
The PDW-F335's 16:9 3.5-inch colour LCD displays a highly advanced
interface giving access to features most camcorders leave to post
production. For example, a thumbnail display provides immediate
access to detailed metadata or key scenes (selected automatically
and/or manually) for quickly reviewing content on site. You can
even perform simple cuts-only editing on the camera
itself. Advanced Proxy Recording
XDCAM HD products automatically record low-resolution AV data
simultaneously with the HD or SD resolution data on the same disc.
This low resolution content - called "Proxy Data" - uses MPEG-4 for
a low data rate (1.5Mb/s for video and 0.5Mb/s for audio) while
still offering reasonable quality. For a fast-breaking news story,
Proxy Data could even be relayed over a low bandwidth link (e.g.
mobile phone) and broadcast. In normal circumstances, Proxy AV
applications include:
Immediate logging on location
Off-line editing
Daily rushes
Client Approvals
Content library browsing
Proxy Data can be browsed and edited on most popular NLEs. In
addition, all XDCAM HD products are supplied with PDZ-1 Proxy
Browsing software for Windows PC which supports drag-and-drop
content transfers. High Level of Reliability
XDCAM HD camcorders share the same platform as the XDCAM SD
products which have proven themselves in demanding applications all
around the world. As there is no mechanical contact between media
and recording heads, a high level of durability and long media life
have been achieved. XDCAM products have also demonstrated
exceptional resistance to shock, vibrations and extremes of
climate. Comprehensive interfaces
The PDW-F335 features a wide-range of input-outputs and interfaces
for maximum production flexibility:
Input: Front stereo microphone, analogue audio (2-channel),
timecode, gen-lock
Output: HD analogue component, SD analogue component, SD analogue
composite, timecode
i.LINK interface supports File Access Mode (FAM) and DV OUT
HD down-conversion capability: DV output via i.LINK (DV OUT) port
or base-band SD output via analogue component

in/out connectivity to a PC
MXF open standard ensures maximum compatibility with new generation
NLEs
Long-term accessibility - storing content as files means you will
always be able to access data in the future Faster, Smarter Archiving
You don't need an expensive IT-storage
system to revolutionise the way you store, retrieve and manage your
archive material. While Professional Discs costs the same as tape,
they're a true high-speed, non-linear media with a wealth of
advanced meta-data automatically generated in camera:
Import metadata and/or low resolution proxies onto your PC hard
drive for a smart, searchable mirror of your high resolution
archive
Locate, watch and even edit proxy clips quickly using fast search
of metadata, then instantly locate the archived high resolution
content
Non-linear media means faster, more reliable access to valuable
archive content
Professional Discs will retain information for 50 years in normal
conditions
Because information is stored as data files, there's no worries
about video standards not being around in years to come
