The Sony PMW-TD300 is the first fully integrated 3D shoulder camcorder. With its shoulder-mount design, this camcorder has a familiar compact body and provides a stable shooting style that is crucial to creating good 3D images. Affordable and fully integrated, this 3D camcorder reduces the burden of complicated user adjustments before shooting, such as left- and right-lens alignment. The PMW-TD300 is a powerful tool to support the needs of professional 3D video production, combining mobility, stability and affordability.
Dual Three-Chip 1/2″-Type Exmor Full HD CMOS Sensors
The dual Exmor 3CMOS image sensors provide high-quality 3D images with excellent sensitivity, as well as 1920 x 1080 resolution, meeting the industry standard for broadcast cameras. The 1/2″ sensor size achieves an ideal balance between high quality and compact design – the body is of a size similar to that of current 2D models.
Dual-Lens System
The dual-lens system allows fully synchronized operation between left and right lenses with high accuracy – in focus, zoom and iris adjustments. With the minimized 1.77″ (45mm) IAD (Interaxial Distance) of the dual lens system, this camcorder offers a wide shooting zone to capture good 3D images – especially for near-side shooting, with its support for a 3.9′ (1.2 m) minimum convergence distance.
Glasses-Free LCD Display & 3D Viewing Output
The PMW-TD300 is equipped with a 3.5″-type color, glasses-free 3D LCD viewfinder. This makes it easy to view and control the 3D picture directly with the camcorder. Additional to glasses-free 3D playback, the user can choose between other viewing options like “Difference,” “Mix”, “Left only” and “Right Only”. The camcorder also features HD-SDI out (L/R dual-stream, audio and TC embedded) and HDMI out (3D/2D) for viewing on consumer 3D displays. Genlock in and timecode in/out allow easy integration with multi-camera systems.
XDCAM Ex Recording
The recording format is identical to that of the existing PMW-EX1R, PMW-EX3 and PMW-350/320 series. Proven, high-speed and intuitive XDCAM Ex workflow offers seamless integration with leading nonlinear editing software.
SXS Card Slots (L/R x2)
Left and right images are recorded on each SXS card separately, in synchronization. As the camcorder features four SXS card slots (two each for the left and right), it offers a long recording duration of over 9 hours in SP (25 Mb/s) mode (with four 64 GB cards). (Media sold separately).
3D/2D Recording Modes
Not only 3D but 2D shooting mode is available. With a single SXS card, the camcorder is able to shoot images only through the left lens. In addition, parallel recording onto the left and right cards is useful as a method of redundant shooting in 2D operation, although the images will be different.
