Sony now airs the veil to own the first (semi-) professional 4K camcorders and it makes for some surprises. As with the introduction of DV and HDV is the first 4K model is a fairly universal Henkel man to push a new format. Sony calls its 4K codec format XAVC, which was already announced earlier in the year. XAVC still based on H.264/AVC and has been integrated by many editing program manufacturers. The chicken-egg problem this time should therefore not be as prominent as in former format ideas. Also noteworthy: H.265 thus plays no role for Sony only times at 4K. PIC 1: Sony FDR AX1E The consumer model FDR AX1E are used to record in XAVC-S which maximum QFHD/4K-UHD (3840 2160 pixels) with1Large format sensors ahead, but will remain with the classic video dimensions. The permanently installed Sony G lens offers a focal length of 31.5 converted -630 mm, which corresponds to about a 20x zoom. The aperture range extends from F1, F3-6, 4 in a lush filter Diameter of 72mm. The objective is to optically stabilized. The 3.5-inch display with 1,229,000 triggered on RGB pixels still FullHD, search stock clearance are no data available yet. All important Knobs and wheels seem to be located on the outer skin: In addition to manual control possibilities for Sharpness, zoom and iris rings, can be AF-/MF-Fokus, turn Amplification / Gain, WB (white balance) and shutter speed externally. There are still 7 assignable Knobs. PIC3: Sony FDR AX1E were pleased thatand 3 ND filters, XLR connectors and phantom power including built. With battery, the camera weighs about 2.7 kilograms. As of November 2013, the FDR AX1EB for 4500 euro incl VAT should be obtained. u003cbu003ePXW Sony-Z100u003c/bu003e The bigger bang but seems to be the professional offshoot PXW-Z100. The camera is very similarly constructed according to available information, we significantly expanded in the format selection: This is the camera to capture even 10 bit 4:2:2 MXF and can alternatively also supports real Cinema 4K resolution with 17:9 (4096 2160 pixels). Later firmware upgrade will then also QFHD XAVC Long 420 and HD MXF MXF 422 Long XAVC bring support. The maximum data rate is up to 600Mbit achieve / s. So that would be the PXW-Z100 also the codec forth quite a greeting. We hope this information
