PRODUCT FEATURES I Wide Variety of Interfaces The XDCAM HD camcorders come equipped with a wide range of interfaces as standard. The PDW-F355 and PDW-F335 provide different combinations of interfaces - each optimized for various operational needs. Input Output Others PDW-F355 Front stereo microphone, audio (2-ch), timecode, genlock HD-SDI/SD-SDI, SD analog composite, timecode, audio (XLR 5-pin) i.LINK PDW-F335 Front stereo microphone, audio (2-ch), timecode*, genlock HD analog component**/SD analog component (selectable), SD analog composite, timecode*, audio (Pin jack) i.LINK *Timecode input and output of the PDW-F335 share the same connector. **1080/23.98P recordings are output as 1080/59.94i signals via 2-3 pull-down conversion. I Easy-to-see Viewfinder The PDW-F355 and the PDW-F335 are equipped with the DXF-20W 2.0-inch* monochrome viewfinder as standard. This enables convenient manual focusing when shooting MPEG HD footage in the 16:9 widescreen format. *Viewable area measured diagonally I Live & Play Function The PDW-F355 camcorder has a "Live & Play" function that can simultaneously output both playback signals (images already recorded) and incoming camera signals (images seen through the viewfinder). Both signals are fed to their respective output and viewfinder connectors independently, and can be viewed at the same time. This allows users to frame the next shot, adjust the exposure, and even focus the lens while the camcorder is playing back recordings from the disc. Application Example at News Gathering I Affordable MPEG TS Option for Field and Satellite Transmission The HDCA-702 MPEG TS Adaptor, which connects to the PDW-F355 camcorder via HD-SDI, transmits an MPEG Transport Stream (TS) of MPEG HD420 (1440 x 1080i) for either 1080i or 720P via DVB-ASI output. This can be done simultaneously as the PDW-F355 records onto disc. The bit rate is selectable from 17.25 Mb/s to 43.25 Mb/s, which is suitable for material transmissions using microwave and satellite modulators. When the bit rate is 35 Mb/s or higher, the 1920 x 1080i mode can be selected. I Noise Reducing Mode The XDCAM HD camcorders incorporate a noise-reducing mode to reproduce low-light scenes clearly.
