Enhanced Functionality with Exmor CMOS

In XDCAM EX camcorders, multiple A/D converters on
each pixel row convert analog signals to
digital as soon as they are generated,
unlike traditional technology that only
has one A/D converter on each chip. Exmor virtually
eliminates the influence of any external noise that enters
the signal chain during transfer to the A/D converter,
resulting in high-quality digital signals with extremely low
noise. This significantly enhances shooting in low-light
environments.

its end of life. Current PMW-EX1, PMW-EX3 camcorders and PMW- EX30

deck require an update (available in the Spring of 2010) to use SxS-1

memory cards.

1920 x 1080 HD Recording Using the MPEG-2
Long GOP Codec

XDCAM EX products record 1920 x

1080 HD images using the MPEG-2
Long GOP codec, which conforms to the MPEG-2
MP@HL compression standard. This highly efficient codec,

also adopted in XDCAM® HD Series and HDV™ 1080i
Series products, enables users to record stunning-quality
HD video and audio over a long period of time thanks to
efficient data compression.

Selectable Format and Bit Rates

A choice of bit rates is offered with XDCAM EX products

– either 35 Mbps (HQ mode) or 25 Mbps (SP mode) –

depending on the desired picture quality and recording
time.
In addition to conventional 1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720
resolutions, the PMW-350 and PMW-EX1R also offer a new

1440 x 1080 resolution in HQ mode, with interoperability at

35 Mbps between XDCAM EX and XDCAM HD systems. Clip
Browser software can very rapidly unwrap MP4 file wrappers
created by XDCAM EX products into MXF file wrappers for

XDCAM HD products without touching the MPEG2 Long
GOP codec inside these two wrappers.

SP mode supports 1440 x 1080 resolution at 25 Mbps,
providing compatibility with HDV 1080i products. Footage
recorded in SP mode can be seamlessly integrated into
HDV-compatible editing systems by connecting the

camcorder via an i.LINK* (HDV) interface. It can also be

recorded on an XDCAM HD optical disc using supplied
Clip Browser software.

* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation used only to designate

that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. Not all products with

an i.LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other.

For information on compatibility, operating conditions, and proper
connection, please refer to the documentation supplied with any

device with an i.LINK connector. For information on devices that include
an i.LINK connection, please contact your nearest Sony office or

authorized dealer.

High Reliability Memory

SxS memory cards resists considerable shock (1500 G) and

vibration (15 G). Adopting this memory recording system,

the unit’s mechanism is simplified. Also, a unique Salvage

function serves to restore content that is damaged by

power loss or memory disconnection during recording.*

* In some cases, images recorded just before an accident may not

be restored (four seconds maximum). No warranty is given on always

achieving content restoration.

Multiple-format Recording: 1080/720 and
Interlace/Progressive Switchable Operation

XDCAM EX products offer a wide array of recording
formats for multiple content-creation applications.
Recording mode is switchable between 1920 x 1080, 1280
x 720, and 1440 x 1080 resolutions. The scanning system
is also selectable from interlace and progressive, such as

59.94i, 50i, 59.94p, and 50p.
In addition, XDCAM EX camcorders* offer native 23.98p
progressive recording in 1920x1080 and 1280x720 modes,
while the XDCAM EX deck** offers 23.98p in 1920x1080
mode.
The PMW-EX30 supports the Record function in

29.97p/25p/23.98p mode and the EE/PB function in

29.97PsF/25PsF/23.98PsF mode through HD-SDI input/
output.** XDCAM EX camcorders do not support a PB
function, but do support an EE function in 23.98PsF mode.
An SxS memory card can simultaneously hold a mix of
multiple files in any of these recording formats, including
DVCAM files – a new capability of PMW-350 and PMW-EX1R
camcorders only – allowing flexible memory card use.***

* Images are handled on XDCAM EX camcorders as 23.98p, and

recorded as 59.94i signals via 2-3 pull-down in 1440x10 80/23.98p (SP)

IT Friendly

With XDCAM EX products, recordings are made as data

files in ISO-standardized MP4 format. File-based recording

allows material to be handled with great flexibility in an

IT-based environment for copying, transferring, sharing,

and archiving. These operations are accomplished without

loss, and without any re-digitizing process.

The recording system also allows for material to be viewed

directly on a Macintosh or PC – the user simply inserts the

SxS memory card into a computer’s ExpressCard slot and

uses the supplied Clip Browser Version 2.6 and compatible

nonlinear editing software, to view, edit, and search

metadata. This helps to improve workflow efficiency.

Acquisition Metadata (HD mode only)

As part of a variety of metadata such as shooting Date/

Time, OK status, Title, Shooter name, Description and

Essence Mark, XDCAM EX camcorders have a unique

capability of recording camera parameters onto the

recording media while shooting - such as Focus, Zoom, Iris,

Shutter, Gain, White Balance and Gamma.

Clip Browser V2.6 allows to review these acquisition

metadata in viewing clips, which is useful as a reference

for editing process or next shooting.

The first Sony memory shoulder-mount camcorder with 2/3-inch imagers

The PMW-350, a new addition to the XDCAM EX family, is the first and long-awaited shoulder­mount camcorder in this Sony range. It comes equipped with cutting-edge imaging technology:
three 2/3-inch-type Exmor full-HD CMOS sensors, which give stunningly high-quality images with
high sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio. The PMW-350 inherits a rich variety of features for
creative shooting from the successful camcorders that precede it – the PMW-EX1 and PMW-EX3.

Sony and the Environment

The PMW-350 is designed to be environmentally friendly thanks to its low power consumption, which is
around 60% less than conventional HD camcorders from Sony*.
This energy-saving design means that the camcorder emits less CO2 when in use.

* Based on a comparison with the HDW-700 full-HD shoulder camcorder from Sony with a 2/3-inch image sensor.

Impressive Body Design

Designed to be very compact and ergonomically well
balanced, the PMW-350 provides a high level of mobility
and comfort in various shooting situations. It inherits these
qualities from the XDCAM HD 422 camcorders, which are
well accepted by broadcasters and post production houses.
In addition, it has a low center of gravity, ensuring
outstanding stability on the shoulder. The low-profile
design provides a wide space between the main frame of
the camera and the handle, and an unobstructed view
to the right-hand side of the camera operator. The main

body weighs only 3.2 kg (7 lb 1 oz), and it is one of the

lightest shoulder-mount camcorders with three 2/3-inch
full-HD imagers.

Three 2/3-inch-type Exmor Full-HD
CMOS Sensors

The PMW-350 is equipped with three newly developed
2/3-inch-type Exmor CMOS sensors, each with an effective

pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V). These deliver superior

picture performance with full-HD resolution. This 2/3-inch­type image sensor allows the camcorder to provide an
excellent sensitivity of F12, a remarkable signal-to-noise
ratio of 59 dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 1000 TV
lines.* In addition, the large 2/3-inch-type image sensors
can capture images with a shallower depth of field, giving
users more freedom of creative expression.

*In HD -SDI, HQ 1080 mode.

Lens Package Choice

There are two different models of the PMW-350. One is the

PMW-350K, which comes equipped with an HD lens with

16x zoom. The other is the PMW-350L, which comes without

a lens. Both models have a standard 2/3-inch bayonet

lens mount, and the user can choose from a wide variety

of optional lenses in the existing 2/3-inch HD lens lineup.

Unique Focus Operation –

Professional Manual Focus and Auto Focus

The supplied lens for the PMW-350K adopts a unique focus

ring mechanism, which offers two types of manual focus,

plus auto focus operation. The lens is equipped with two

independent focus wheel mechanisms, which can be

switched by sliding the focus ring forward and back.

When the focus ring is in the forward position, the lens

works in the same way as a typical auto focus lens. The

operator can select either Manual or Auto Focus mode

using the AF/MF switch on the lens. When the focus ring

is in the back position, the lens has an absolute focus

position, which is a familiar feature to professional users.

Slow & Quick Motion Function

The PMW-350 offers a powerful Slow & Quick Motion

function – commonly known as over-cranking and under­cranking by filmmakers – that enables users to create
unique looks with slow- and fast-motion special effects. The
PMW-350 can capture images at frame rates selectable

from 1 fps (frame per second) to 60 fps in 720p mode and

from 1 fps to 30 fps in 1080p mode, in increments of 1 fps.
For example, when viewed at 23.98p, images captured at
60 fps appear two and a half times slower than normal.
Conversely, images captured at 4 fps appear six times
faster than normal.

With this Slow & Quick Motion function, images are

recorded natively with no padded frames and at full
resolution. The obtained quality of slow- and fast-motion
images is significantly higher than those created in the
editing process. In addition, these slow- and quick-motion
images can be played back immediately after shooting,
without using any converters or processing on nonlinear
editing systems.

Slow Shutter Function

To capture clear images in low-light environments, the
PMW-350 offers a Slow Shutter function. This not only
increases camera sensitivity but also, for enhanced
shooting creativity, produces a special blurring effect
when shooting a moving object. The shutter speed is
selectable from 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 32, and 64-frame
accumulation periods.

Selectable Gamma Curves

The PMW-350 offers a wide variety of gamma curves to
flexibly handle contrast, and give a specific look to an

there are four types of Hyper Gamma which are identical

to those on high-end CineAlta™ camcorders. Operators
can select the suitable preset gamma curve, depending
on scene requirements.

Interval Recording Function

The Interval Recording function of XDCAM EX camcorders
intermittently records one frame at pre-determined
intervals. This is convenient for shooting over long periods
of time, and also when creating special effects with
extremely rapid motion.

Image Inverter

With a DOF (Depth of Field) adaptor to attach a cinema or

still-camera lens to PMW-350 or PMW-EX1R camcorders, the

image is rotated 180 degrees. The Image Inverter function

normalizes the image by reverse scanning.

Turbo Gain

The Turbo Gain function can boost the camera gain up

to +42 dB, which helps reproduce images in very low-light

environments.

1440 x 1080 35Mbps Recording

PMW-350 and PMW-EX1R offer 1440 x 1080 35Mbps (VBR)

pressed.

Shutter Angle Settings

In addition to traditional electronic shutter speed
controls, adjustable in fractions of a second, XDCAM EX
camcorders offer shutter angle control, which is familiar to
filmmakers.

ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance) & Hold

The Auto Tracing White Balance function of XDCAM EX
camcorders automatically adjusts the camera’s color
temperature according to changes in lighting conditions.
This function is useful when recording outside for long
periods, and the lighting changes gradually over time.
With PMW-350 and PMW-EX1R, the user can hold auto
tracing at a desired color balance via an assignable
switch.

Picture Cache Recording

With the PMW-350 Picture Cache Recording function, up

to 15 seconds of audio and video signals are buffered into

the camcorder’s internal memory even before the record

start button is pressed. This means that everything that

happens 15 seconds prior to the record start button being

pressed is recorded onto SxS memory card, helping to

prevent the loss of any unexpected, yet important, events.

The caching period can be adjusted by menu setting.

Four-channel Audio*

The PMW-350 is the first XDCAM EX camcorder to record

four channels of 16-bit, 48-kHz, linear PCM uncompressed

audio. Each channel level can be controlled by an

independent individual level controller.

*When an SxS memory card with four-channel audio is replayed by the

PMW-EX1, PMW-EX1R, PMW-EX3, or PMW-EX30, only CH-1/2 or CH-3/4 can

be replayed.

Total Level Control System (TLCS)

For all XDCAM EX camcorders, by activating TLCS, the

correct exposure is automatically set for normal, dark, and

very bright shooting environments by controlling the lens

iris, electronic shutter, and Auto Gain Control.

8

Scene File System

The Scene File feature of the PMW-350 allows camera
operators to easily call up customized picture-tonal
settings – such as the parameters of matrix, detail,
gamma, and knee – to suit particular shooting conditions,
rather than having to readjust the camera each time. This
gives users greater operational efficiency. SxS memory
cards can be used for storing and loading scene files.

Viewfinder with 3.5-inch* Color LCD

The PMW-350 is equipped with a large, easy-to-view, color

LCD with a high resolution of 1920 x 480 pixels, which

simplifies focusing. The viewfinder can also be used to
instantly review recorded footage, as well as access the
