common MPEG compression, allows compatibility
with many other devices such as non-linear editing
systems.
The XDCAM HD camcorders provide the powerful
capability to record in DVCAM format with
NTSC/PAL and 16:9/4:3 switchable modes, as well
as the MPEG HD format. What’s more, both the
XDCAM HD camcorders and decks incorporate a
down-conversion capability that allows material
recorded in the MPEG HD format to be converted
to SD signals and output via the SD video output
connectors (including SD composite and i.LINK™*
connectors). This enables users to view the mater-

XDCAM HD
File-based Disc Recording
Powerful Non-linear Recording
– the Professional Disc Media
In addition to its
impressive HD picture
quality, what makes
the XDCAM HD system
so distinguished is its
file-based disc recording
capability. This brings
huge benefits such as
instant random access
and IT connectivity,
to name just two.
The XDCAM HD products use a large-capacity
non-linear optical disc for recording, the PFD23
Professional Disc media, which Sony has developed
specifically for professional recording applications.
The Professional Disc is a 12-cm, single-layer,
reusable optical disc with a capacity of 23 GB. This
large capacity makes it possible to record up to two
hours* of HD material on a single disc. Professional
Disc media is highly reliable and durable because it
experiences no mechanical contact during recording
or playback, and is packaged into an extremely
durable and dust-resistant disc cartridge. The
non-contact recording and playback also makes it
an ideal media for long-term storage of AV assets.
Whereas traditional tape archive systems must be
rewound on a periodic basis to remove magnetic
powder debris, the Professional Disc media
completely eliminates this process.
PFD23 Professional Disc
Its reliability has already been demonstrated by the
SD version of the XDCAM products in various areas
such as ENG and EFP.
* The figure is approximate. The precise recording duration will depend
on the bit rate selected.

XDCAM HD
IT/Network Friendly
Instant-Access Thumbnail Search with
“Expand” Function
In the Sony XDCAM Series of products, recordings
are made as data files in the industry-standard MXF
(Material eXchange Format) file format. This allows
material to be handled with great flexibility in an
IT-based environment – easily available for copying,
transferring, sharing, and archiving. All these
operations are accomplished without any “digitising”
process required. File-based data copying allows for
degradation-free dubbing of AV content, which can be
performed easily on a PC. The file-based recording
system also allows for material to be viewed directly
on a PC, simply by linking it to the XDCAM unit via
an i.LINK connection. This works in just the same
way as a PC reading files on an external drive.
With all XDCAM HD products, video and audio signals
are recorded as one clip file each time a recording
is started and stopped. During playback, cue-up to
the next or previous clips is possible simply by
pressing the ‘Next’ or ‘Previous’ button, as you
would do on a CD or DVD player. Furthermore,
thumbnails are automatically generated for each
clip as a visual reference, allowing operators to cue-up
to a desired scene simply by guiding the cursor to a
thumbnail and pressing the ‘Play’ button. For further
convenience, the ‘Expand’ function allows one
selected clip in the Thumbnail display to be divided
into 12 even-time intervals, each with their own
thumbnail identifier. This is useful if you want to
quickly search for a particular scene within a
lengthy clip.
The XDCAM HD camcorders and decks come
equipped with IT-friendly, computer-based interfaces.
These include an i.LINK interface supporting DV OUT
and File Access Mode as standard, and a Gibabit
Ethernet interface available on the PDW-F70 and
PDW-F30 decks as an option. Connecting the
XDCAM HD system to an Ethernet network offers
users a new style of network-based operations that
can dramatically improve the efficiency of their
workflows.
Expand Function
No Overwriting to Footage
– For Immediate Recording Start
Scene Selection Function
By virtue of recording on optical disc media, the
XDCAM HD system makes each new recording on
an empty area of the disc. This is extremely useful,
especially when shooting with camcorders, as it
relieves the concerns of camera operators about
accidentally recording over good takes, and elimi-
nates the burden of searching for the correct posi-
tion to start the next recording. In short, it means
the camera is always ready for the next shot!
The Scene Selection function allows simple cuts-only
editing* to be performed within the camcorder or
deck itself. The results of the edits can be saved as
an XDCAM EDL (called “Clip List”), which can be
written back to the original disc to stay with the
material. The disc can then be played back according
to the Clip List so that only selected portions are
played out in the desired order. The Scene Selection
function presents dramatic improvements to
conventional workflows, such as when transferring
material to a non-linear editor and/or server, or
when searching for material and/or edit points in lin-
ear editing systems.

XDCAM HD
Other Features
Power of Proxy Data
– Highly Streamlined Workflows
Metadata
All XDCAM HD products are capable of recording
a variety of metadata, which provides a huge
advantage when searching for specific data after
the initial recording has been made. Information
such as production dates, creator names, and camera
setup parameters can be saved together with the
AV material on the same disc using the supplied
PDZ-1 software. This makes it possible to organise
and search through all recordings effectively. One
particular metadata, called EssenceMark™ (Shot
Mark), is a convenient reference that can be added
to desired frames to make them easy to recall in
subsequent editing processes.
At the same time as recording its high-resolution
video and audio data, the XDCAM HD products also
record a low-resolution version of this AV data on the
same disc. Called “Proxy Data”, this is much smaller
in size than the high-resolution data (1.5 Mb/s for video
and 0.5 Mb/s for audio), and its format is identical to
that of the SD version of the XDCAM products.
Because of its lower resolution, Proxy Data can be
transferred to a standard PC at an amazingly high
speed, and easily browsed and edited using the
PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software (or other compatible
editing software offered by many industry-leading
manufacturers). What’s more, with the PDZ-1 soft-
ware, it can be converted to the popular ASF format
for playback on Windows® Media Player, providing
dramatic improvements in production workflows.
Proxy Data can also be viewed directly on a PC with-
out data transfer using an i.LINK (File Access Mode)
connection, and can even be sent over a standard
Ethernet network.
The overall flexibility of Proxy Data means that it
can be used for a variety of applications, such as
immediate logging on location, off-line editing, daily
rushes of shooting on location, client approvals, and
more.
EssenceMark (Shot Mark 1) Display
Easy Maintenance and High Reliability
The XDCAM HD products use the same platform as
the XDCAM SD products that are in wide use
around the world. Having the advantage of no
mechanical contact between the equipment and
recording media, both a high level of durability and
long media life have been achieved. XDCAM HD
products also offer the same high resistance to
shock and vibrations provided by the SD version of
the XDCAM products.
Editing Solutions
The XDCAM HD products are equipped with both
conventional AV and IT-based interfaces for flexible
integration into a wide array of editing environments.
These interfaces* include HD-SDI, HD analogueue
component video, analogueue/digital audio, and
RS-422A 9-pin remote control – enabling connection
to a wide variety of VTRs, linear and non-linear editors,
and audio mixers.
PBZD-E1500 software
SD interfaces*, including SD-SDI and SD analogue
composite, are also provided for down-converted SD
outputs, allowing the XDCAM HD system to be inte-
grated into a conventional SD-based editing environ-
ment as well.
PBZD-E1500 software allows the PDW-F70 deck
to be used for traditional broadcast insert and
assemble editing. This can be very useful when
integrating XDCAM into a linear editing environment
or when selectively archiving tape based material to
professional disc.
Another interface that all XDCAM devices provide is
an i.LINK interface that supports DV OUT and File
Access Mode. Recordings made in both MPEG HD
and DVCAM formats can be output as DV files via the
i.LINK port, and then be used in many DV-based non-
linear editing system. The i.LINK (File Access Mode)
allows not only SD (DVCAM) files but also HD (MPEG
HD) files to be written (recorded) onto and read from
Professional Disc media. This allows you to establish
an extremely compact and affordable HD non-linear
editing system, for example, using an XDCAM HD
camcorder and an i.LINK-compatible laptop PC.
Collaborative HD media production for workgroups.
*The supported interfaces vary by product.

XDCAM HD Camcorders
PDW-F350/PDW-F330 Camcorder
The PDW-F350 and PDW-F330 are highly versatile and cost-effective HD camcorders that
are equipped with three 1/2-inch-type HD CCDs, and offer HD recording in 1080/59.94i, 50i,
29.97P, 25P, and 23.98P modes – as well as DVCAM-format recording.
A rich variety of features useful for creative shooting are incorporated into these
camcorders such as interval recording, slow-shutter, and selectable gamma curve.
Additionally, the PDW-F350 provides a “Slow & Quick Motion” function, which is
also commonly known as “over-cranking” and “under-cranking”.
Disc recording provides users with a number of benefits that are specifically useful during
shooting. For example, because new footage is always recorded onto an
empty area of the disc, there is no need to cue-up to the next recording position
before shooting. This means that operators can start shooting without the worry of
accidentally recording over existing footage.
In short, the XDCAM HD camcorders are ideally suited to a broad array of shooting
opportunities such as event shooting, news gathering, field productions, and indie
productions.

PRODUCT FEATURES
1/2-inch type Three HD Power HAD CCD
Creative Versatility for
Movie Making
The XDCAM HD camcorders are equipped with
three 1/2-inch-type HD Power HAD™ CCDs, each
with a high density of approximately 1.56 megapixels
(1440 x 1080). These extremely high-performance
CCDs provide an outstanding sensitivity of F9 (at
2000 lx, 3200K), a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio
of 54 dB, and a low vertical smear level of -120 dB.
The XDCAM HD camcorders, part of Sony's proud
CineAlta family, provide many creative features for
producing a variety of movies. They offer the Slow
& Quick Motion Function (PDW-F350 only) for
stunningly impressive slow and fast motion images,
and Selectable Gamma Curves that are inherited
from the top-of-the-line CineAlta camcorder. The
Interval Recording function is another tool to create
unique ultra-fast moving images.
Slow & Quick Motion Function (PDW-F350)
The PDW-F350 offers a powerful Slow & Quick
Motion Function that enables users to create elegant
fast- and slow-motion footage – commonly known
as over- and under-cranking in film shooting. The
PDW-F350 can capture images at frame rates
selectable from four fps (frame per second) to 60 fps
in increments of 1 fps. For example, when viewed at
23.98P, images captured at four fps will appear six
times faster than normal. Conversely, images captured
at 60 fps will appear 2.5 times slower than normal.
The quality of the slow- and fast-motion images
created using the Sony PDW-F350 camcorder is
extremely high and incomparable to those created
in the editing process.
12-bit A/D Conversion
Another spectacular thing about this feature is that
users can see the results right in the camcorder’s
LCD screen, without using any converters or
processing on non-linear editing systems.
The XDCAM HD camcorders incorporate a high-
integrity 12-bit A/D conversion circuit, which allows
images captured by the Power HAD CCDs to be
processed with great precision. This high-resolution
A/D conversion allows the contrast to be reproduced
faithfully in both mid-to-dark tone and bright areas
of the picture.
This great feature maximises users’ shooting
creativity while achieving a high level of overall
efficiency.

*When capturing at 31-60 fps (in 23.98P/29.97P mode)/26-50 fps (in
25P mode), the camcorders provide lower vertical resolution than in nor-
mal capturing mode.
A key to quality in DSP cameras is how many bits
are used in their non-linear processes, such as
gamma correction. The ADSP of the XDCAM HD
camcorders uses more than 30 bits in non-linear
processes, minimising round-off errors to maintain
the high quality of the Power HAD CCDs. The ADSP
also enables highly sophisticated image controls,
such as skin tone detail control and Dynamic
Contrast Controls.
Interval Recording Function For Versatility and
Creativity
The XDCAM HD camcorders offer an Interval
Recording Function, which intermittently records
signals at pre-determined intervals. This is conve-
nient for shooting over long periods of time, and
also when creating pictures with special effects of
extremely quick motion.
Multi-format Recording
– HD/SD and Interlace/Progressive
Selectable Gamma Curves
One of the big appeals of the XDCAM HD cam-
corders is their highly flexible multi-format recording
capability. Users can select a recording format from
HD (MPEG HD) or SD (DVCAM), 59.94i/50i interlace
mode, or 29.97P/25P/23.98P progressive mode.
The XDCAM HD camcorders allow operators to
choose from five types of gamma curves (Standard,
CINE 1, 2, 3 and 4). The CINE 1-4 gamma curves
provide natural tonal reproductions for scenes with
wide dynamic ranges. The CINE 1 and 2 curves are
inherited from HyperGamma, which is available on
the top-of-the-line CineAlta camcorder.

LO-32BMT
Compact and Lightweight Body
A Wide Choice of Lenses
XDCAM HD camcorders are designed to be very
compact, lightweight, and ergonomically well
balanced, providing a high level of mobility and
comfort in various shooting situations. They weigh
only 5.4 kg (11 lb 14 oz) including viewfinder,
microphone, disc, and BP-GL95 battery pack.
The PDW-F330K model comes equipped with the
VCL-719BXS servo focus lens. This convenient
auto-focus lens helps operators to adjust the focus
during manual-focus mode simply by pushing the
“PUSH AF” button. It also provides a full-time
auto-focus function that automatically tracks the
focus in a dynamic manner. This is especially
convenient for one-man shooting situations, for
example, where the camera operator is also
performing other tasks and does not have the
capacity to alter the focus manually.
Shock and Dust-resistant Disc Drive
To minimise errors caused by shock or dust entering
the disc drive, XDCAM HD camcorders have several
unique ways of providing operational resistance to
such factors. The disc drive entrance is concealed by
two lids, helping to prevent any dust from entering the
drive. In addition, four rubber dampers are used to
hold the disc drive block in place and to absorb the
shocks that would otherwise go into the disc drive.
In addition to this auto-focus lens, a variety of
1/2-inch-type HD lenses are separately available from
major manufacturers to offer optimum performance
of the XDCAM HD camcorder. A 2/3-inch-type lens*
can also be used with the XDCAM HD camcorder
via its lens connector and the optional LO-32BMT
lens adaptor. This allows users to choose from a
broad range of lenses, including cinema-style lenses,
according to their particular shooting requirements.
3.5-inch* Colour LCD Screen
A large, easy-to-view, colour LCD screen on the
camcorder’s side panel enables operators to instantly
review recorded footage, as well as access the cam-
era’s set-up menus and view status indications such
as four-channel audio meters, and the remaining disc
and battery time. It also enables advanced operations
such as Thumbnail Search and Scene Selection.
* In this configuration, the resulting focal length will be 1.37 times the
actual focal length of the lens.
Low-Light Shooting With ‘Slow-Shutter’
and ‘Turbo Gain’ Functions
Sony XDCAM HD camcorders offer two convenient
features – Slow Shutter function and Turbo Gain
function – for shooting in low-light conditions, which
can be used alone or together depending on the sit-
uation or the operator’s preferences.
* Viewable area measured diagonally.
Wide Variety of Interfaces
The XDCAM HD camcorders come equipped with a
wide range of interfaces as standard.
The PDW-F350 and PDW-F330 provide different

The PDW-F70 is a powerful recording deck that is equipped with a comprehensive range
of interfaces including HD-SDI input and output, HD analogue component, composite
outputs, and more. The PDW-F30 is an NLE feeder/viewer type deck, but also offers
the capability to record MXF files (in both MPEG HD and DVCAM formats) via its i.LINK
(File Access Mode) or Ethernet* interfaces. Both models also offer the capability to
input and output 25 Mb/s HDV stream (MPEG-2 TS) for interfacing with HDV products
or HDV-based non-linear editors via i.LINK port.**
These decks are equipped with a VTR-like jog dial, providing familiar and fast control
of the playback. In addition to the random-access capability, “Thumbnail Search”,
“Expand”, and “Scene Selection” functions significantly increase operational efficiency.

XDCAM HD DECKS
PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software
– An Extremely Powerful Partner with the XDCAM HD System
The PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software that is
supplied with all XDCAM products is a highly
convenient tool to easily browse recorded footage
and even perform simple cuts-only editing right on
your PC. This software also provides a variety of
convenient tools for disc operation such as entire or
partial disc copy (dubbing) and transfer between
two XDCAM devices. It runs on a Windows-based
PC, and supports two types of interfaces: i.LINK
(File Access Mode) and Ethernet.
The XDCAM HD products can transfer Proxy Data
to a PC running the PDZ-1 software at an extremely
high speed. The software then enables simple and
quick cut editing of this Proxy Data, and once the
editing is complete, the edit results can be saved as
a “Clip List” (or “XDCAM EDL”) and written back to
the original disc, allowing the disc to be played back
according to the EDL. The Clip List also allows you
to instantly generate a popular ASF file, which can
be played back according to the EDL on Windows
Media Player – a powerful feature that can streamline
production workflows.
The PDZ-1 software also includes
a
variety
of convenient functions such as “clip search by
metadata”, “EDL export in various formats”, and
“high-resolution file transfer according to a Clip
List”.
System requirements
Window 2000 (SP4 or later),
Windows XP Professional
(SP1 or later), Pentium® III
Processor 1 GHz or higher,

- Preview a result of the storyboard on the PC
• Registration of metadata such as “title”, “creator”, or “comments”
for a disc or clip
• Setting of “EssenceMark” for instant cue-up to desired scenes.
Names for EssenceMark can also be easily assigned.
• Clip search function using the registered metadata as a keyword
• Print function allows metadata such as thumbnails, creation date,
and comments to be printed out in an easy-to-see storyboard view
- Save the results as a Clip List (XDCAM EDL)
- Convert the Proxy Data on the storyboard to
an ASF file for replay on Windows Media Player
- Export the Clip List in BVE-9100, Newsbase™ XML,
and ALE (Avid Log Exchange) formats
- Transfer high-resolution clips according to the Clip List
PDZ-VX10 – XDCAM Viewer Software
PDZ-VX10 XDCAM Viewer is a tool that enables you to play back and check the video and audio material in MXF files. In addition to playback of
proxy AV data, it supports playback of the material at its original screen quality. So, after a shoot you can upload the MXF files to your server or
PC and quickly browse and quality check the material in High Definition on your desktop.
