50-pin Interface and Digital Extender Function
The CBK-CE01, a 50-pin interface option*, offers a Digital
Extender** function, which digitally doubles images in size. Unlike
lens extenders, this function virtually does not lose image
sensitivity, often referred to as the F-drop phenomenon.
* The CBK-CE01 is planned to be available in the end of November 2010, An
upgrade to activate the Digital Extender function is planned to be released at the
beginning of 2011.
** The Digital Extender function can not operate with Slow & Quick function.
Camera Adaptor for Multi-camera Operation
The CBK-CE01 also offers PMW-350 and PMW-320 connection
to the XDCA-55, Camera Adaptor. This newly-designed camera
adaptor and the XDCU-50, Camera Extension Unit enable control
of the camcorders from a distance of 100 m, and expands the
potential of these camcorders for multi-camera operation.
* The XDCA-55 and XDCU-50 are planned to be available in November 2010.
Affordable MPEG TS Option for Field and
Satellite Transmission
The HDCA-702 MPEG TS adaptor, which can be directly docked
onto the PMW-350 and PMW-320, transmits an MPEG Transport
Stream (TS) of MPEG via a DVB-ASI output. This function also
requires the CBK-CE01; HDCA-702 activation is planned to be
available at the beginning of 2011.
Acquisition Metadata (HD mode only)
As part of a variety of metadata, XDCAM EX camcorders have
a unique capability of recording camera parameters onto the
recording media while shooting - such as Focus, Zoom, Iris,
Shutter, Gain, White Balance and Gamma.
The supplied software Clip Browser V2.6 allows users to review
these acquisition metadata in viewing clips, which is useful as a
reference for the editing process or the next shooting.
Camera Remote Control
