XDCAM EX Recording Deck
PMW-EX30
The PMW-EX30 is a highly versatile and affordable compact recording deck that can be used
for many different applications. It allows simple viewing of recorded materials on a monitor,
as well as dubbing to other formats and media, such as HDV, XDCAM HD, and HDCAM™, and
feeding to nonlinear editing systems. In addition, the PMW-EX30 can be used as an affordable
full-HD recorder for event recordings – it can record HD signal outputs from a switcher.
The PMW-EX30 deck offers a wide array of interfaces including HD-SDI input and output, HDMI
output, HD analog component, composite outputs, and more. Equipped with two SxS PRO*
memory card slots, the PMW-EX30 can record up to 280 minutes of HD footage using two 32-GB
