HXRNX3/1

NXCAM Full HD 3CMOS Hand-held Camcorder

The HXR-NX3/1 is a replacement model of the HXR-NX3 with battery and charger supplied. It is a professional camcorder that features G Lens with three control rings, four steps of ND Filters, and switch-type WB presets and gain settings to provide the common operability of conventional professional handheld camcorders.

The HXR-NX3/1 incorporates three 1/2.8" type Exmor™ CMOS sensors for outstanding image quality. Dual media slots allow simultaneous or relay recording in AVCHD 2.0 (up to 1080/60p) format. There is also a Slow & Quick Motion feature that achieves smooth 2.5x slow motion when recording at 24p or 60x quick motion when 1 frame per second is recorded in 60p. In addition to the 20x optical zoom, Clear Image Zoom with Super Resolution Technology provides an extended 40x zoom range with excellent clarity and detail and virtually no effective pixel loss.

A built-in LED light, Wi-Fi/NFC remote control capability, and a larger 3.5 inch LCD panel for enhanced viewing add to the versatility of this multi-purpose camcorder, putting the finishing touches on an advanced system that offers unprecedented video recording freedom.

Features                                                       Benefits:
Full HD Sony sensor for impressive imagery The 1920x1080 full HD three Exmor CMOS sensors system provides a 2.07 million effective pixel count in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Red, blue, and green light are independently and accurately captured by separate image sensors, contributing to high resolution, high sensitivity, and wide dynamic range that translate to extraordinarily natural colour reproduction
High performance Sony G lens with 40x zoom range Provides 28.8mm (35mm full-frame format equivalent) angle of view at the wide end. 20x optical zoom plus Clear Image Zoom provides total 40x zoom range. Clear Image Zoom offers effectively no quality loss and no pixel loss, with 2M full resolution kept using Super Resolution Technology.
AVCHD 2.0 (1080/60p) and DV recordings HD video is recorded in AVCHD 2.0 format with a high 60 fps frame rate that achieves smooth, natural subject motion. 60i and 24p modes provide playback compatibility with Blu-ray players. The camcorder can also record in DV standard definition.
Slow and quick motion options at Full HDs 2x slow motion can be easily achieved by setting the recording format to 30p and the frame rate to 60 fps. If you’d rather speed up the action the frame rate can be set to 1 fps for 60x quick motion.
Excellent low light recording Minimum illumination of 1.2lux (1/30) or 1.0 lux (1/25)
