As well as great quality at 60 1080 The PDW-F330, XDCAM HD Camcorder, features MPEG HD and DVCAM switchable recording with three 1/2-inch HD CCDs. It is capable of recording 1080 video lines of multiple frame rates at a high bit rate of up to 35 Mbps and the well-proven DVCAM format. It also provides four channels of high-quality uncompressed audio. This provides an SD to HD migration path to a complete HD-based environment. Down-conversion output to SD is an standard feature in the product, instant random access and reply of clips, IT network capability and Proxy data operation offer a choice of new workflow. Providing a stunning array of features, the PDW-F330 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 is 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. 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 85 minutes recording per 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 tremendous 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 even Ethernet • High Speed File Transfer Advanced Scene Selection Functionality The 16:9 3.5-inch colour LCD on the PDW-F330 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.
