PXWX400KF

Three 2/3-inch type Exmor CMOS sensors XDCAM weight-balanced advanced shoulder camcorder with improved network connectivity and low power consumption (16X Autofocus Lens Kit)







The PXWX400 offers stunning imaging performance up to 1080/60p, optimized weight balance and ergonomics, and new networking features that enable field-to-air flexibility like never before. The PMWX400 has the perfect balance of performance and practicality. The enhanced ergonomics and mechanical balance allow for all-day shoulder-mount shooting. This camera puts advanced streaming, sophisticated codecs, the power of 1080/60p imagery, the nuances of 10-bit grayscale and the beauty of 4:2:2 color – all within your reach. The PXWX400 supports a variety of Sony viewfinders including the QHD LCD CBKVF02 and the Full HD OLED HDVFEL30 and HDVFEL20. The camcorder offers improved network connectivity, with built-in wireless module, embedded RJ45 Ethernet 100B-T connector and Near Field Communication (NFC)* function for easy Wi-Fi setup and operation via a mobile or tablet with Sony’s Content Browser Mobile™ application. With a 1.5G HD-SDI input for pool feed recording, the PXWX400 is a powerful addition to the Sony XDCAM Camcorder family.
