XDCAM EX Camcorders PMW-EX3 PMW-EX1R PMW-EX3 PMW-EX1R The shotgun microphone is an optional accessory. The XDCAM EX Series offers two camcorders equipped with three 1/2-inch-type Exmor full-HD CMOS Sensors. One is the PMW-EX1R, successor to the PMW-EX1 model, a handheld camcorder with a fixed zoom lens. The other is the PMW-EX3, a compact camcorder with an interchangeable lens system. Cutting-edge Camera Technology Three 1/2-inch-type Exmor Full-HD CMOS Sensors The PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3 are equipped with three 1/2-inch-type Exmor CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V). This technology delivers superior picture performance with full-HD resolution. Furthermore, this type of sensor allows the camcorder to provide an excellent sensitivity of F10, a remarkable signalto-noise ratio of 54 dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 1,000 TV lines.* Other benefits include greatly reduced power consumption and associated heat dissipation in the PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3, qualities which make possible the unique use of 1/2-inch-type sensors on these compact camcorders. In addition, this type of sensor can capture images with a shallower depth of field, giving users more freedom of creative expression. *In HD-SDI, HQ 1080 mode. 13
