The PMW-EX3 is a highly compact and high- performance XDCAM EX1) camcorder that uses SxS1) memory cards, as its recording medium. The imaging devices used in the PMW-EX3 camcorder are three 1/2-inch type CMOS sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920 ⋅ 1080, which produce images in full HD resolution.

A New Generation of HD RecordingSystemNew nonlinear recording media

Using SxS memory cards, the PMW-EX3 offers nonlinear capabilities such as instant random access and file-based operation.

HD recording using the “MPEG-2 Long GOP” codec

The PMW-EX3 records 1920 ⋅ 1080 HD images using “MPEG-2 Long GOP” codec compression. This mature “MPEG-2 Long GOP” codec, which is also adopted in the XDCAM1) HD and HDV2) 1080i series of products, enables you to record stunning-quality HD video and audio with long recording time by efficiently compressing the data.

Selectable bit rates

The PMW-EX3 offers a choice of bit rates: either 35 Mbps (HQ mode) or 25 Mbps (SP mode), depending on the desired picture quality and recording time.

Long recording time

By utilizing an efficient compression format, the PMW-EX3 records high-quality HD images for long recording time of approx. 100 minutes in HQ mode (35 Mbps VBR) or approx. 140 minutes in SP mode (25 Mbps CBR) on a single 32-GB SxS memory card. Equipped with two SxS memory card slots, the PMW-EX3 makes transition seamless without any frame loss, when recording is done across two cards.

Multiple-format recording

The PMW-EX3 camcorder offers a wide array of recording formats for multiple content creation applications. The scanning mode is switchable among 1920 ⋅ 1080, 1280 ⋅ 720, and 1440 ⋅
