About Sony HD Camera Adapter for PMW-EX3 Camcorder

Where professional videography meets advanced technology, the Sony XDCA-53 HD Camera Adapter for the PMW-EX3 Camcorder stands as a crucial element. This adapter is an integral part of Sony's PMW-EX3 HD Camera Extension System, a comprehensive setup that includes the camera adapter and the XDCU-50 Camera Extension Unit (sold separately). This system is designed to control key camera functions, enhancing the functionality and versatility of your PMW-EX3 camcorder.

When paired with one of Sony's compatible camera remote controllers, this system offers remote control over a wide array of camera parameters, providing flexibility and convenience for videographers. The XDCA-53 Camera Adapter is specifically engineered for use with the PMW-EX3 camcorder, and it securely attaches to the VCT-SP2BP shoulder support (sold separately) using a supplied bracket.

Connection between the PMW-EX3 and the XDCA-53 is facilitated by two short coaxial BNC jumper cables, ensuring a stable and reliable link. The XDCA-53 connects to the XDCU-50 Camera Extension Unit via two BNC cables (not supplied), one for the camera signal and the other for the return signal.

To supply power to the XDCA-53, a CCZ-A cable (sold separately - up to 100m) is required from the XDCU-50. This system allows for the combined transfer of camera signal, control signal, return signal, and power up to 100 meters (328') without any signal degradation.

The Sony XDCA-53 HD Camera Adapter for PMW-EX3 Camcorder offers an affordable and efficient solution for those seeking to maximize the versatility of their camcorder, whether in stand-alone or multi-camera operation. This adapter is a testament to Sony's commitment to providing high-quality, reliable, and innovative videography equipment.

Sony HD Camera Adapter for PMW-EX3 Camcorder Features

  • High-quality camera pictures are transmitted without degradation via digital signals
  • The maximum cable length is 328' (100m) between the camera adapter and the XDCU-50
  • The system is suitable for both HD and SD operation. Since the XDCU-50 has a down-converter function, when the camcorder is in HD mode, SD signals in Squeeze, Letterbox, or Edge Crop mode are available at the XDCU-50 along with HD-SDI from the XDCA-53
  • Cabling is simplified as the signals for camera control, intercom, tally and timecode are embedded in the digital signal; only a pair of BNC cables and a single CCZ-A Cable for the power supply are required between the camera adaptor and the XDCU-50
