Description

The Sony PDW-700 is a professional shoulder-mount XDCAM HD422 camcorder engineered to deliver high-end HD image quality with the speed and efficiency of file-based, tapeless workflows. Designed for broadcast, documentary, and production applications, it captures stunning 1920 x 1080 full-resolution video using three newly developed 2/3-inch progressive Power HAD FX CCDs with 14-bit A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing. The camcorder records using the MPEG HD422 codec at 50 Mbps, ensuring the quality and color fidelity required for high-end productions, with support for multi-format recording including 1080i, 720P, and SD formats. Key professional features include a cache recording mode capturing up to 30 seconds of video before pressing record, a digital extender that doubles image size without sensitivity loss, and comprehensive interfaces such as HD-SDI output, Ethernet, and i.LINK connectivity.

This complete package includes a Chrosziel 401-50 lightweight support system, a professional V-mount baseplate designed specifically for Sony HD camcorders that enables secure tripod mounting and accessory support.
