Sony PMW-TD300 3CMOS Solid-State Memory 3D Shoulder Camcorder, Dual 7x Optical Zoom, 3.5" LCD Screen, 1080p Horizontal Resolution

How the Sony PMW-TD300 3CMOS Solid-State Memory 3D Shoulder Camcorder revolutionizes professional video production is truly remarkable. As the first fully integrated 3D shoulder camcorder, it boasts a compact, shoulder-mount design that ensures stable shooting - a critical factor in producing high-quality 3D images.

This advanced camcorder simplifies the user experience by eliminating complex pre-shooting adjustments such as left- and right-lens alignment. Its dual three-chip 1/2"-type Exmor Full HD CMOS sensors deliver superior 3D images with exceptional sensitivity and a resolution of 1920 x 1080, meeting the industry standard for broadcast cameras.

The PMW-TD300's innovative dual-lens system offers synchronized operation between the left and right lenses, ensuring high accuracy in focus, zoom, and iris adjustments. The minimized 1.77" (45mm) IAD (Interaxial Distance) of the dual lens system provides a wide shooting zone for capturing stunning 3D images, particularly for near-side shooting, with support for a 3.9' (1.2 m) minimum convergence distance.

Equipped with a 3.5"-type color, glasses-free 3D LCD viewfinder, this sophisticated camcorder allows for easy 3D picture viewing and control directly from the device. It offers multiple viewing options including "Difference," "Mix", "Left only" and "Right Only", and features HD-SDI out (L/R dual-stream, audio and TC embedded) and HDMI out (3D/2D) for viewing on consumer 3D displays.

The PMW-TD300 also supports genlock in and timecode in/out for seamless integration with multi-camera systems. Its high-speed and intuitive XDCAM Ex workflow offers seamless integration with leading nonlinear editing software.

With 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). Not only does it support 3D recording, but it also offers a 2D shooting mode. With a single SXS card, the camcorder can capture images only through the left lens, providing a method of redundant shooting in 2D operation.

In summary, the Sony PMW-TD300 3CMOS Solid-State Memory 3D Shoulder Camcorder is a high-quality, professional tool that combines mobility, stability, and affordability, making it a powerful asset for any professional video production setup.
