It also boasts excellent networking features such as a built-in wireless module, an embedded RJ-45 Ethernet 100B-T connector, and a Near Field Communication (NFC) function for easy Wireless LAN setup and operation via a mobile or tablet with Sony's Content Browser Mobile application.

The PXW-Z450 supports a wide variety of formats including 4K QFHD and HD XAVC Intra and XAVC Long GOP at 50p/59.94p. Thanks to its versatile 2/3-type native sensor and B4 lens mount, this camcorder allows you to install a variety of B4 ENG lenses including either 4K or HD. This flexibility supports a variety of shooting applications while saving costs.

Designed with an ergonomic focus, the PXW-Z450's lighter lens grip reduces front weight and helps lessen the load on the right arm, providing comfort during long shooting sessions. The camcorder's specially developed 4K 2/3-type Exmor R CMOS sensor provides superb image quality and high sensitivity, matching B4 mount lens systems and allowing you to use commercially available B4 4K/HD lens systems without the need for an adapter.

A Near Field Communication (NFC) function allows easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet device without manual setting of the network parameters. The camcorder's built-in wireless module gives you more mobility without the need for a cable, enabling proxy recording and file transfer or live-streaming.

In file transfer mode, high-resolution files and XAVC Proxy files can be transferred over wireless connection to the cloud or FTP server thanks to Content Browser Mobile (CBM) application. In Push mode, the CBM application enables users to monitor the currently shot video and to wirelessly control camcorder settings such as focus, zoom, iris, white balance, REC START/STOP and more.

With Content Browser Mobile V2.0, proxy trim, proxy partial clip upload, and logging are available. High-quality live-streaming is provided by the advanced Sony QoS technology embedded in the camcorder and in the PWS-100RX1 network RX station. Non-QoS live-streaming is also possible with a third-party receiver or VLC player.

A dedicated button gives simple on-off control of Network Client Mode, Auto Upload (Proxy) and Live-Streaming. An SD or HD-SDI (up to 1.5 G) signal can be recorded by the camcorder, a useful function to record an external feed from another camera.
