The Sony PMW-F3K Super 35mm Full-HD Compact Camcorder comes with 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lenses and offers exceptional flexibility and has multiple workflow options. XDCAM EX with its speedy, intuitive workflow, allows seamless integration with nonlinear editing software while a 10 bit 4:2:2 HD-SDI output enables hybrid recording options with a variety of external recording devices. From April 2011, a Dual Link HD-SDI option will enable 10bit RGB uncompressed signal output - ideal for the high-end film production.
The Sony PMW-F3K camcorder records 1920 x 1080 HD images using the 'MPEG-2 Long GOP' codec, which conforms to the MPEG-2 MP@HL compression standard. 'MPEG-2 Long GOP' is a mature codec - also adopted by the XDCAM HD and HDV 1080i series of products - which enables users to record stunning-quality HD footage with highly efficient, reliable data compression.
The Sony PMW-F3K camcorder offers a choice of bit rates - either 35 Mb/s (HQ mode) or 25 Mb/s (SP mode) - depending on the desired picture quality and recording time. The HQ mode supports both 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720 resolutions. The SP mode supports 1440 x 1080 resolution at 25 Mb/s, which provides compatibility with HDV 1080i products.
