New Sony OLED viewfinders for professional cameras

Using the same panel as the PVM-740 monitor, the new OLED viewfinders for professional cameras, thanks to Sony's Super Top Emission technology, offer higher levels of contrast and brightness. Along with the OLEDs, Sony also presents two 5” LCD models for high definition and standard.

Sony is introducing four new viewers that deliver high levels of accuracy and reproduction to production professionals. The new viewfinders include two versions of a 7.4" (188 mm) OLED model, the HDVF-EL70, for studio cameras, and the HDVF-EL75, for portable cameras. Sony has also introduced two 5" (127 mm) LCD models, the HDVF-C550W high definition and the DXF-C50W standard definition.

The new OLED displays use the same panel as the Sony PVM-740 professional video monitor, also introduced at NAB 2010. The OLED panel, combined with Sony's Super Top Emission technology, delivers higher levels of contrast and brightness. In addition, the scopes incorporate a “flexible arm” mechanism that gives versatility to the position of the scope, and a range of auxiliary focusing functions.

The 5” LCD viewfinders are small and lightweight, for compact camera systems, with a wider viewing angle, a larger display area and a lower power consumption level than previous models.

Tanto los OLED como los LCD HD de 5” están diseñados para muchas cámaras y camcorders profesionales de alta definición de Sony, entre ellos los F23 y F35, así como los camcorders ópticos XDCAM HD422 y los camcorders HDCAM, la serie HDC-1500/1000/1550/1400/1450 y la serie HDC-R de cámaras multiformato de estudio y exteriores, las supercámaras lentas HDC-3300 y HDC-3300R, y las cámaras HSC-300 y HXC-100 HD/SD de estudio y exteriores.

El nuevo visor LCD SD de 5” es utilizable con las series DXC y DSR, así como con las cámaras XDCAM y XDCAM EX. Los nuevos visores de 5” estarán en el mercado en mayo, mientras que los visores OLED de 7,4” saldrán a finales de año.
