Overview
The Sony PMW-300K1 XDCAM HD Camcorder features a high bit rate for capture of fast moving objects, while its chroma subsampling feature is ideal for a wide range of video recording situations. Although the PMW-300K1 features the same lens and imager as the PMW-EX3, Sony has developed advanced signal processing technology to suppress noise effectively and create noticeably clearer images, and enable it to reproduce a better Signal-to-Noise ratio than that of the PMW-EX3.
In addition to features it shares with the PMW-EX3, the PMW-300K1 now offers Cache Recording of up to 15 seconds, 1/16 ND filter position in addition to 1/4 and 1/64, more Gamma selections, eight assignable switches, QHD 960 X 540 resolution viewfinder, second SDI output, HDMI output, USB connectivity and more. The newly added USB connection enables the wireless remote control, video streaming and high resolution/XAVC proxy file transfer capabilities with an optional CBK-WA100 Wireless Adapter (not included).
Ample support for interchangeable lenses and a robust metal body further ensure that PMW-300K1 is suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, the PMW-300K1 offers TC In/Out, and Genlock In connectivity. The camera also includes a 700 protocol remote interface allowing various camera settings to be remotely controlled using an optional RM-B170 Remote Control Unit. These additional features open up the list of possible applications to include multi-camera and studio configurations.
