PXWX200
XDCAM XAVC HD422 hand-held camcorder| Features | Benefits: |
|---|---|
| Newly developed three 1/2"-type Exmor™ CMOS Full HD sensors | The PXW-X200 incorporates three 1/2"-type Full-HD Exmor CMOS sensors to achieve high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range. With these image sensors, the PXW-X200 achieves a high sensitivity of F12 at 1080/59.94i and F13 at 1080/50i - essential levels for professionals shooting under challenging lighting conditions. |
| 17x optical zoom lens with three independent rings with end-stops | The PXW-X200 is equipped with a 17x optical zoom lens able to zoom from 29.3mm to 499mm (35mm equivalent). It has three independent control rings with end-stops, which allows manual control of focus, zoom and iris, making for better and faster adjustment. The 8 pin lens remote connector is located on the lens grip, which enables to use third party controlers such as Libec, VariZoom, and Bebbob. |
| High quality XAVC Intra and XAVC Log GOP recordings | The PXW-X200 supports not only MPEG HD422 50Mbps in MXF (Material eXchange Format), which is widely accepted by major broadcasters worldwide, but also XAVC Intra and XAVC Long GOP codecs. XAVC technology is based on the H.264 standard, which provides an exceptional performance compression technology. XAVC Intra (frame) compression means that every frame is encoded independent of the other frames - providing a better quality picture, without compromises. With a Long GOP codec, only certain frames are encoded individually. This allows the codec to squeeze the video into a much smaller bitrate than Intra technology. The main benefit is faster ingest and editing. XAVC Long GOP files also require less storage space than XAVC Intra files, providing budget savings on recording media. The XAVC codec adopts 4:2:2 10-bit sampling for high definition recording with rich grading expression. |
| Dual SxS media slots for Simultaneous/Relay recording | The PXW-X200 is equipped with two SxS memory
card slots. The camcorder is compatible with SxS PRO+, SxS-1 memory
cards, and also SDXC** and SDHC** cards can be used with the adapter
MEAD-SD02, and XQD** card with QDA-EX1. Two media slots can record in
either "Simultaneous" or "Relay" mode. "Simultaneous" mode* permits
recording the same content to two memory cards at the same time, while
"Relay" mode automatically switches recording from the first to the
second memory card when the first is full.
** Some selected recording mode and salvage feature are not supported. |
| Wireless file transfer and live streaming from the field* | Users can simply attach the supplied
Wireless LAN module to activate the wireless function on the PXW-X200.
And by connecting with separately sold internet routers, proxy or
high-resolution files can be transferred to a cloud server, and the
editing process can be started while location shooting continues. The
PXW-X200 also has a streaming capability. By attaching a separately sold
LTE USB module*, live video and audio can be streamed, watched, and
recorded at a remote location.
*A firmware upgrade to the latest version is required to activate these functions. |
| Sony's unique QoS live streaming technology | The camera uses Sony's unique QoS (Quality of Service) technology to maintain video and audio integrity during transmission. Packet loss during streaming can degrade image quality, cause image freezing and disrupt the audio. The combination with the camera and the sold separate station PWS-100RX1 comes with original Sony algorithms that automatically adjust bandwidths and buffer sizes to match the characteristics of the wireless transmission. Users can be confident of high-quality streaming without concerning themselves with bandwidth settings and other technical issues. In particular, the Sony's QoS live streaming technology includes Real-time ARQ (automatic repeat request), adaptive rate control (ARC) and forward error correction (FEC). |
| Near Field Communication* (NFC) function with Content Browser Mobile | A Near Field Communication (NFC) function
allows easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet
device without manual setting of the network parameters. A Content
Browser Mobile** application enables users to monitor the currently shot
video and to wirelessly control camcorder settings such as focus, zoom,
iris, white balance, REC START/STOP, and more.
* NFC allows close-range wireless communication between the PXW-X200 and an NFC-equipped smartphone or tablet device. ** This application can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or App Store. |
| Proxy recording on SD card | The PXW-X200 can record proxy video H.264 on
an SD card. The resolution and bitrate of proxy video can be changed
for a more flexible workflow. The proxy files are recorded in MP4 format
for better compatibility with broadcast systems. The lightweight proxy
video files are generated separately from the main line recording and
recorded to SD cards for quick sharing of content over low-bandwidth
mobile networks.
Video: AVC/H.264 Main Profile, 4:2:0, MP4 Audio: AAC-LC, 2ch, 48KHz, 128kbps |
| Wide choice of connections | The camcorder offers numerous connections to suit the broadcast workflow, including single 3G HD-SDI, HDMI, USB, composite output, timecode input/output and genlock input. The 3G HD-SDI connector is able to output the 1080/59.94P or 50P signal. Down-conversion output from HD to SD is also possible. The i.LINK connector can be used for HDV when SP 1440 (FAT) mode is selected and for DV when DVCAM (FAT) mode is selected. Simultaneous output from both SDI and HDMI is possible. The Rec Trigger signal can be sent through SDI and HDMI to link an external recording device. |
| Multi Interface Shoe* (MI Shoe) for flexible connection | The PXW-X200 is equipped with a Multi
Interface Shoe (MI Shoe) that has an electric interface in its
mechanical attachment allowing the camcorder to communicate with an
attached accessory. Accessories attached to the MI Shoe can be
controlled by the camcorder. Using an MI Shoe connection with sold
separate optional adapter SMAD-P3, the audio signal from a UWP-D series
wireless microphone package can be input from the wireless microphone
receiver to the PXW-X200 without an XLR cable. The power can be supplied
from the PXW-X200 to the receiver and a battery is not required for the
receiver operation. When the battery is attached to the LED video light
HVL-LBPC, the light can be switched on and off from the camcorder which
syncs with recording trigger.
*A firmware upgrade to the latest version is required to activate these functions. |
| Timecode and Genlock | The PXW-X200 is equipped with timecode input/output (selectable) and genlock input interfaces. These interfaces are useful when shooting with multiple camcorders. The video signal timing and the timecode can be synchronized among the camcorders, and this helps when assembling video clips from multiple camcorders in the editing process. |
| Catalyst "Browse" software from Sony | The new software Catalyst “Browse” is a free clip management tool for both PC & Mac that supports Sony professional formats. Review footage on location, add metadata and review color corrections. Paid upgrade option is available to the advanced Catalyst "Prepare" media preparation tool. |
