Overview
1080 resolutions. Frame rate is also selectable
from interlace and progressive (59.94i, 50i,
29.97P, 25P, and native 23.98P). In addition,
59.94P and 50P progressive recording is available
in 1280 × 720 mode. SxS memory cards can
simultaneously hold multiple files of any of these
recording formats, allowing for flexible use of the
memory cards.
High-quality uncompressed audio recording
In addition to HD video recording, the PMW-
EX3 can record and play back high-quality, two-
channel 16-bit, 48-kHz linear PCM
uncompressed audio.
IT friendly
The file-based recording in MP4 format allows
material to be handled with great flexibility in an
IT-based environment, easily available for
copying, transferring, sharing, and archiving.
For immediate recording start
In recording on flash memory cards, the XDCAM
EX system makes each new recording on an
empty area of the card. This is extremely
convenient, as the camera operator need not
worry about accidentally recording over good
takes or search through footage for the correct
position to start the next recording.
Instant-access thumbnail display with “Expand”
function
Each time a recording is started and stopped on
the XDCAM EX camcorder, the video and audio
signals are recorded as one clip.
Furthermore, thumbnails are automatically
generated for each clip as a visual reference,
allowing the operator to cue-up to a desired scene
simply by guiding the cursor to a thumbnail. For
further convenience, the ‘Expand’ function
allows one selected clip in the Thumbnail display
to be divided into 12 equal time intervals, each
with its own thumbnail identifier. This is useful if
you wish to quickly search for a particular scene
within a lengthy clip.
