Three 1/3-inch type Exmor CMOS Full HD sensors for a wide range of shooting conditions
The PMW-150 incorporates three 1/3-inch-type Full-HD Exmor CMOS sensors to achieve high resolution, high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range. The sensor has 2 million effective pixels and achieves full HD 1920 x 1080 shooting without pixel interpolation, enhancing shooting under severe lighting conditions and providing more freedom of creative expression.
20x Fujinon professional HD zoom Lens with three independent rings and large focal length
The PMW-150 is equipped with a fixed 20x zoom lens with wide-angle 29.5mm. Due to a quick electric zoom function, the change of shooting from wide-angle to tele-angle can be made quickly. The lens has three independent control rings, so focus, zoom and iris can be manually controlled, which makes for better and faster adjustment. The lens has auto focus and an image stabilizing function with shift lens mechanism.
High quality MPEG HD 422 recordings
The PMW-150 supports MPEG HD 422 50 Mbps MFX, which is widely accepted by major broadcasters worldwide. HD 422 gives a high quality image with more detailed colour reproduction, as well as being ideal for chromakeying. It is also compatible with other XDCAM HD 422 camcorders, including the PMW-500, the PMW-200 and the PMW-100, which streamlines workflow and reduces time in the edit.
Switchable recordings for greater flexibility
As well as shooting at HD 422 50 Mbps, the camcorder also supports MPEG HD 420 in MP4 file format, which is compatible with XDCAM EX camcorders and DVCAM at 25 Mbps. The file format is also selectable between MP4 (FAT) or MFX (UDF) in HD and AVI (FAT) or MFX (UDF) in SD.
Slow and quick motion from 1 fps to 50 fps
Slow motion shooting is possible with up to 50 frames per second (fps) recording in 720P or 25 fps recording in 1080P, when used with the SxS Pro or SxS-1 memory card. Quick motion can be obtained by slowing the frame rate down to 1 fps.
Multi-camera operation
The camcorder has a genlock In and timecode In /Out interface so that it can link together with other camcorders. The function makes the camcorder a cost effective alternative for use in multi camera event shoots.
DV) Out can be activated while SP 1440 (FAT) or DVCAM (FAT) is selected and the i.LINK (HDV) In signal can be recorded while the video format is set appropriately.
