Sony PDWF800 XDCAM HD Camera

The Sony’s top-of-the-line XDCAM™ HD422 Series is being embraced around the world for its file-based recording capability utilizing high-capacity and highly reliable Professional Disc™ media. Thanks to its newly developed MPEG HD422 codec, the XDCAM HD422 Series provides high-quality video and audio recording capabilities, with an image resolution of 1920 x 1080 and eight-channel 24-bit uncompressed audio.

Now, Sony is proud to announce two new powerful additions to the series – the PDW-F800 camcorder and the PDW-F1600 deck. They both offer multi-format recording flexibility as standard – including SD recording and a frame rate of 23.98P in 1080 mode.

The PDW-F800 camcorder builds on the features of the PDW-700 camcorder. Enhanced functions, such as Slow & Quick Motion (over-crank and under-crank recording), make the PDW-F800 ideal for cinema and TV drama productions, as well as ENG applications.

The foundation of the PDW-F1600 deck incorporates the features of the PDW-HD1500, and acts as more than just a file-based recording deck. With its insert/assemble editing capability, it can be used as a recorder in a linear editing system – just like a conventional VTR.
