(8) SONY HDC-1500R Cameras
The HDC1500R is the multi-format HD studio camera that offers a broad choice of interlace and progressive formats, by incorporating two key devices. Newly developed CCD imager and DSP LSI, the camera system can offer ultimated picture performance in a variety of scanning modes, and enhanced operational flexibilty. The two types of camera control system can be offered. One is where the CNU-700 Camera Command Network Unit is at the center of the configuration, while the other makes use of the Ethernet functionality of the systems - a new and powerful feature that also provides a path to the future. Both control systems allow communication between all the devices in the configuration, including cameras, camera control units, remote controllers By using the Studio build-up kit (HDLA series), the camera can be used with large box lens for enhanced operational flexibilities. The studio build-up kit is designed in totally unique interlocking mechanism which does not require lens bayonet mount for connecting the camera head and the lens.

(2) SONY HXR-MC1P Digital HD Video Camera Recorder
1080i Compact HD Camera
Even though it is equipped with a full HD shooting (1920 x 1080i) capability, a 10x optical zoom and a built-in microphone, the camera is compact, measuring only 37 x 42.5 x 86.5 mm (1 1/2 x 1 11/16 x 3 1/2 inch).
Exmor™ CMOS Sensor - Cutting-edge Image Sensor Technology
The HXR-MC1P uses a 1/5-inch "Exmor" CMOS sensor, which is also used in Sony professional camcorders and high-end D-SLR cameras. This achieves low noise thanks to multiple micro A/D (analogue to digital) converters.
The image sensor in the HXR-MC1P also uses the ClearVid pixel array, which has 45-degree rotated pixels. This unique layout offers high picture quality while keeping low-light sensitivity.
Long-time HD or SD Recording to Memory Stick PRO Duo™
Memory Stick PRO Duo offers the optimum recording media for the compact HXR-MC1P recorder. In addition, the highly efficient compression methods used in both HD and SD modes achieve long recording times, which make the most of Memory Stick PRO Duo's storage capacity.
In HD recording mode, video is recorded in AVCHD, which uses MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 compression - the same method used in Blu-ray Disc™.
If SD recording mode is selected, video is recorded in MPEG-2.
All-in-one Recording Unit and Battery Operation Expands Shooting Flexibility
Recording and playback are both possible via the control unit of the HXR-MC1P. You don't need any external recorder/player. Maximum battery operation of up to 405 minutes* is available thanks to the use of the Exmor CMOS sensor. This means you can shoot anytime, anywhere without having to worry about power supply.
* Continuous recording with the optional NP-FH100 battery (LCD backlight = OFF). With ordinary use, with frequent recording start/stop and zooming etc., this will reduce to approximately 200 minutes.
Remote Monitoring and Control
The control unit has a 2.7-inch (16:9), 211,000-pixel LCD panel that uses ClearPhoto LCD plus, which enables you to instantly review the images captured by the camera. Furthermore, all menu settings can be accessed via this touch-screen LCD panel.
The control unit is also equipped with a recording button, zoom lever and manual control dial, which let you control the camera remotely while watching the images.
With the HXR-MC1P, it is easy to shoot in a way that is impossible with ordinary camcorders. No special equipment, such as an external monitor or remote control device, is required.
Live Relay/Recording
The control unit of the HXR-MC1P has connectors for both HDMI output and analogue video output. By using a commercially available HDMI/HD-SDI converter or an A/D converter, you can also make live relays or recordings using HD-SDI signals.
The HXR-MC1P can help you achieve unique and powerful images during live events, by mounting it close to the action - such as inside the goal during a football match or near the hands of a musician during a concert.
The HDMI and analogue video connector can output SD signals if the recording mode of the HXR-MC1P is set to SD.
(2) SONY PMW350K XDCAM EX Camcorders
The XDCAM EX PMW-350 is the first Sony memory shoulder-mount camcorder, equipped with the cutting edge imaging technology of three 2/3 inch-type Exmor™ full HD CMOS sensors. These sensors, each with an effective pixel count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V), give the camcorder an excellent sensitivity of F12 and a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of 59 dB. Additionally, the large 2/3 inch–type sensors can capture images with a shallower depth of field, giving users more freedom of creative expression. The PMW-350 is studio-configurable, with timecode in/out, genlock in, HD/SD SDI and HDMI out, and also features a DVCAM recording option. Designed to be compact and ergonomically well-balanced, the PMW-350, with a main body weight of just over seven pounds, provides a high level of mobility and comfort in a wide variety of shooting situations. In addition, it has a low center of gravity, ensuring outstanding stability on the shoulder; and the PMW-350 is designed to be environmentally friendly thanks to its low power consumption of just 18 watts (while recording with supplied VF, lens, shotgun mic and one (1) SxS card). The PMW-350K model offers customers a Lens Package, equipped with an HD lens with 16x zoom and a standard 2/3-inch bayonet lens mount. The full Sony XDCAM EX line-up provides stunning HD picture quality and efficient nonlinear operation, expanding the creative possibilities in every type of HD video production.
