RGB & S-LOG Workflow*
The RGB and S-LOG output option (CBK-RGB01)* makes it
possible to output a 10bit RGB 4:4:4 uncompressed 1080p
signal over an HD-SDI Dual-link. Moreover by using same
option, the Dual-link A output can be switched to 3G-SDI.
3G-SDI output reduces wiring between the camera and
external recording and monitoring devices. This RGB
output can be recorded with an external recording device
such as the SRW-1 HDCAM-SR™ portable recorder. This
feature allows users to capture higher picture quality
especially for VFX including color grading, compositing
and chroma key operation.
This option also offers S-LOG gamma output which
enables users to capture in an extremely wide dynamic

3D Shooting System*
The 3D-LINK option* enables users to operate two PMW-F3
cameras at the same time via one camera remote
controller. Two PMW-F3 cameras can be connected with a
dedicated 10-pin cable which carries a reference signal,
timecode and control. Since two cameras are locked with

range of 800% with an S/N ratio of 57 dB. The advantage of
S-LOG is the reproduction of both shadow details and
highlight, contributing to "film-look" images.
The PMW-F3 has four viewing LUTs for monitoring purposes
when S-LOG output is activated. For example, if the user
selects S-LOG to R709 conversion LUT as the viewing LUT, R709-
converted images are available in HD-SDI output, and the
result is checked without color grading in the field. At the
same time, LUT-applied images can be recorded on SxS card
and can be used as off-line material for making EDL/ALE files.
RGB output can be recorded on HDCAM-SR tapes and used
as on-line material. By using both HDCAM-SR tapes and SxS
cards, the PMW-F3 enables efficient post-production workflow.
