Sony Unveils PXW-X00 XDCAM Solid State Memory Camcorder
15/09/2014
Apart from the improved sensor, lens and codec support, other enhancements over the PMW-200 include new wireless/NFC (Near Field Communication) functions, two SxS media slots for Simultaneous Recording(*1), a Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe(*2) and GPS data recording(*3). These features greatly boost the workflow efficiency of the PXW-X200, making it ideal for a variety of professional applications including news-gathering, broadcast productions, documentaries, events, weddings, education, corporate productions and more.
With the PXW-X200, were really pushing the performance limits of this class of camcorder. The 1/2 inch-type image sensor combined with the 17X zoom lens, 4:2:2 sampling and wireless functions definitely puts a first-rate acquisition tool in the hands of professional videographers, said Robbie Fleming, Product Marketing Manager, Sony Professional, Sony Europe. The PXW-X200, in synergy with other products from the XDCAM family, is expected to offer numerous functional and workflow conveniences for all customers to achieve mission critical operations where turn-around time is a huge factor.
High Picture Quality from 1/2 inch-type Exmor 3CMOS Sensor
The PXW-X200 incorporates three 1/2 inch-type Exmor CMOS sensors that produce Full HD resolution (1920x1080) without pixel interpolation. The image sensor boasts 2.07 million effective pixels, and combines with Sonys digital signal processing to achieve a wide dynamic range, low noise (S/N ratio of 58dB), and high sensitivity of F12 at 1080/59.94i and F13 at 1080/50i essential for professionals shooting under challenging lighting conditions.
New 17 Times Zoom Lens with Manual Control Rings
A newly-developed 17 times zoom lens is a key feature of the PXW-X200, which Sony has successfully kept its size very compact despite adopting its build to the 1/2 inch-type imager. The lens can zoom from 29.3 mm to 499 mm (35 mm equivalent), which is powerful enough to cover most events and other applications. The lens also possesses three manual Zoom/Focus/Iris independent control rings, each with a physical end-stop and absolute markings for precise adjustments by the user in professional shooting operations.
Wireless Streaming(*4) and File Transfer Functions
To meet the needs of todays professionals, the PXW-X200 comes equipped with wireless functions including one-touch NFC capability. By attaching the supplied IFU-WLM3 wireless module, Remote Control and Monitoring functions can be performed from a Tablet or Smartphone using the Content Browser Mobile application. Moreover, by connecting with separately-sold internet routers, proxy or high-resolution files can be transferred to a cloud server to commence the editing process even while the location shoot continues. This function is similar to how Sonys CBK-WA100 wireless adaptor operates.
In addition, a live streaming function(*4) will be made available via a future firmware upgrade. By attaching a separately-sold LTE USB module(*5), live video and audio can be streamed, watched, and recorded at a remote location.
Multi-Format Support Including High Quality XAVC and MPEG HD422
The PXW-X200 efficiently compresses Full HD (1920x1080) resolution images using MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and has the capability to record XAVC using 4:2:2 10-bit sampling. In XAVC, the user can select Intra-frame compression at a maximum of 112 Mbps or high-efficiency Long GOP compression at 50/35/25 Mbps. In addition to XAVC Intra/Long GOP, the PXW-X200 also records in MPEG HD422 (50Mbps), MPEG HD420 (35/25 Mbps), MPEG IMX (50 Mbps) and DV (25 Mbps) formats. Four channels of 24-bit 48 kHz LPCM audio are recorded in XAVC and MPEG HD422, while four channels of 16-bit 48 kHz LPCM are recorded in MPEG HD420. The multi-format support is useful for different shooting applications and can be adjusted to meet users requirements. Operating on globally-established XDCAM HD422 or XAVC formats allows the PXW-X200 to deliver high-speed, intuitive workflows along with greater operational convenience.
Features of the PXW-X200 Ideal for Professionals
Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe for connecting accessories like the optional HVL-LBPC video light or UWP-D series wireless microphone system without XLR cables and battery pack
GPS data recording as Metadata
3G-SDI Interface for 1080/59.94P, 50P output
Slow & Quick Motion function (available for XAVC Intra, XAVC Long GOP, MPEG HD422 & MPEG HD420)

Genlock In, Time Code In/Out for multi-camera shooting
Focus Assist functions (Colour Peaking, MF Assist, One-push AF, Focus Magnification)
3.5-type QHD (RGB 960x540) LCD Panel
The PXW-X200 will be showcased at IBC 2014 at the Sony Stand 12.A10, Hall 12, The Elicium, from 12-16 September 2014. The camcorder will be available in November 2014.
