Sony PDW-F350 XDCAM™ HD / HDV / DV / DVCAM
Daily Rental
Optical Disc-based HD Solution
This newest addition to Sony's camcorders brings selectable frame rate recording to the CineAlta family line up. Commonly known as "overcranking" and "undercranking", Sony calls this function Slow & Quick Motion. In addition, not only does the PDW-F350 record in true 24P, but also 25P and 30P at 50i or 60i. And because the XDCAM system is file based recording, users can realize all the associated benefits. To name a few; instant random access and replay of clips, IT network capability and "Proxy data". Proxy data, a lower resolution of the material, can be conveniently used for immediate logging on location, off-line editing, daily rushes and sending the material via FTP for client approvals and more. The PDW-F350 offers HD recording in 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P and native 23.98P using MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. The operator can also select the desired bit rate to record in, either 35, 25 or 18 Mb/s depending on the desired picture quality and recording length. Being a dual format camcorder, it can also record in SD mode at 25 Mb/s (DVCAM™).
HD 1080 Recording at Selectable Bit Rates
The XDCAM HD products record video signals in 1080/59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P, and native 23.98P using the “MPEG HD” codec that adopts the industry standard MPEG-2 MP@HL compression. Users can select desired bit rates either from 35, 25, or 18 Mb/s depending on their requirements for picture quality and recording length. Choosing the highest bit rate of 35 Mb/s results in the highest-quality pictures over a long recording time of over 60 minutes, while choosing the 18 Mb/s bit rate provides a recording time of over 120 minutes, which is the longest recording time offered by any current HD camcorder.
File-based Disc Recording
As a recording medium, the XDCAM HD products use a nonlinear optical disc, the PFD23 Professional Disc, which Sony has developed specifically for professional recording applications. Recordings are made on a file basis, allowing easy integration into other IT-based equipment such as PCs and nonlinear editors. The recorded files on the disc can be directly accessed by a compatible PC connected via the i.LINK (File Access Mode) interface, and furthermore can even be sent through a standard Ethernet network. This file-based operation enables new networkbased workflows that have never been available for HD-based production. The XDCAM HD system also features the Scene Selection function that allows simple cuts-only editing to be instantly performed within the camcorder or decks.
