New Sony PMW-350 and PMW-EX1R

Sony expands its range of XDCAM EX camcorders with the new PMW-EX1R, which replaces the EX1R, and the PMW-350, the first model in this product line.

Sony has expanded its XDCAM EX range by incorporating two new camcorders, the PMW-350 and the PMW-EX1R, which feature the same features as the rest of the With these new camcorders, Sony expands solid state production to new applications and quality levels offering high flexibility and the ergonomics typical of the XDCAM EX.

Specifically, the PMW-350 uses three 2/3-inch Exmor CMOS sensors with a resolution of 1920x1080. What is striking about this camera is the possibility of recording in DVCAM via CBK-DV01 in studio configuration with time code input and output, genlock input, and HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. One of the main advantages of the new camcorder is its low center of gravity and its light weight, providing great stability.

PMW-EXR1

As for the PMW-EX1R, it is considered the successor to the PMW-EX1, being the first memory-based professional camcorder that records DVCAM in SD (DV-AVI type 2 wrapper) with HDMI output, high-resolution viewfinder and push-button automatic iris.

With these launches, there are no longer excuses from those broadcasters who were reluctant to abandon tape because they had their flow established over DVCAM. Now they will be able to work with both the new XDCAM EX camcorders and the XDCAM on professional disc without abandoning the popular DVCAM format and with full support from most non-linear editing systems.
