Sony Extends CineAlta 4K Camera System Range
Sony has unveiled two new CineAlta 4K cameras, complemented by a full line-up of new accessories. The PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 cameras ﬁll a critical gap in largesensor acquisition between Sony’s PMW-F3 camcorder and its F65 CineAlta Premium 4K camera, giving content creators new levels of flexibility for HD, 2K or 4K acquisition and production. With a modular and compact design for easy conﬁguration, each camera features a new type of 4K Super 35mm image sensor with a 4096 x 2160 resolution (11.6M total pixels). The 20 megapixel F65 remains the ﬂagship of Sony’s large sensor camera family. The 8K sensor-equipped F65 continues to evolve, with new features designed for the most demanding highend imaging applications. These features include a new high frame rate mode for 4K RAW recording at 120P to deliver 4K images with super smooth slow motion capabilities, and image capture using the SR codec at 12-bits. Future updates to the F65 will deliver 6K de-mosaicing. The new PMW-F55 and PMW-F5 CineAlta 4K cameras deliver creative options for HD/2K / Q F H D /4 K (PMW- F55) and 2K /HD (PMW-F5) production. Both offer multi-codec support featuring Sony’s new X AVC MPEG - 4 AVC/H.264 format, the SR codec (MPEG4 SStP) and High Deﬁnition XDCAM 50Mbps 4:2:2 codec. In-camera recording is on Sony’s New SxS media, SxS PRO+ (Plus ) – which can be used to record XAVC in HD High Frame Rate and in 4K at up to 60fps (in the PMW-PMW-F55), and XAVC HD High Frame Rate in the PMW-F5.
