Four-Channel Audio - Sony PMW350K Brochure & Specs

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
image. In addition to six types of standard gamma curves,
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.
Frame Recording Function
Frame Recording is a unique feature of XDCAM EX
camcorder that is especially useful for clay animation
shooting. Using this function, images for pre-determined
frames are recorded every time the record button is
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.
8
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)
HQ mode recording at 59.94i, 50i, 29.97p, 25p, 23.98p.
DVCAM Recording and Playback with
Optional Hardware Key, CBK-DV01
DVCAM format recording and
playback are supported by the
CBK-DV01, an optional hardware key
that can be installed by the user.
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.
