Sony Aims to Transform
Media Landscape
A combination of factors has resulted in a "sea change" in the
industry, admits Anthony Kable, Content Creation Group Manager,
Sony Australia...

T

he various factors include
changing consumer viewing habits,
unprecedented industry consolidation
and new business models. At NAB
2018, Sony decided to focus on new
workflows for genres and demonstrate
technologies for HD, 4K, 8K, HDR & IP.
"Media customers need to deliver
content anytime to any platform, in a
range of different formats, and in high
quality," said Kable. "Often they need
to do all this with fewer resources.
Sony is continually adapting to meet
our customers' changing needs,
assisting them to develop practical
workflows that meet their technical
and financial goals."
XDCAM Expansion
Sony expanded its XDCAM line of
professional camcorders with the
new handheld PXW-Z280 and a 4K
compact camcorder - the PXW-Z190.
The PXW-Z280 is equipped with
three 1/2-type Exmor R CMOS image
sensors, delivering high sensitivity
of F12 (59.94p), long zoom ratio and
deep depth of field. 4K 4:2:2 10-bit
adds vivid imagery and delicate colour
gradation.
The PXW-Z280 supports 4K 50p/60p
recording capability and 12G-SDI
output, making it suitable for live
event production. The enhanced
network enables direct-to-air workflow
featuring Sony's Quality of Service
for live distribution of high-quality
broadcast content, using a Dual
Link connection by multiplexing two
cellular networks. Versatile formats
and interfaces also support the
workflow. A 17x zoom lens and three
Sony's super 35mm
XDCAM FS5 II

independent control rings with endstop allow manual control of focus,
zoom, and iris for quick and precise
adjustment.
The PXW-Z190 carries newly
developed three 1/3-type Exmor R
CMOS image sensors that capture
RGB light independently and deliver
4K 50p/60p imagery with high
resolution and a wide range of
gradation. 4:2:2 10-bit ensures vivid
and rich colour content in HD. The
new model incorporates a 25x optical
zoom lens to cover a wide focal range
for multiple shooing requirements,
with three independent lens rings to
support intuitive operation.
Both models are equipped with
Advanced Face Detection Autofocus
(AF) including "Face Priority
AF" and newly added "Face
Only AF". Sony's Electronic
Variable ND filter ensures
greater exposure control
by smoothly varying the
density of the ND filter
during
shooting
while
maintaining resolution and depth of
field.
Another addition to the range was
the new XDCAM handheld camcorder
FS5 II. Complete with 4K HDR and
120fps performance and RAW
capabilities, the new Super 35mm
camcorder combines outstanding
image quality with an ergonomic
modular frame. In addition to S-Log
2/3, the FS5 II supports Sony's Instant
HDR Workflow to produce HDR content
for quick post-production without the
need of grading. The FS5 II features
an all-new look with a refined picture
tone to capture natural highlights,
subtle, and well rendered facial tones
and a softer tonal look emphasizing
portrayal of a person.
HDR Production
Responding
to
customers who are
heading to 4K and HDR
production,
Sony
released
firmware updates for the
BVM-X300 master monitor and

PVM-X550

upgrades include Flexible Area Marker applications where professionals need
