Sony PDW-530 XDCAM Camcorder
Sony XDCAM camcorders have been designed with special consideration for heavy-duty field acquisition, providing excellent picture quality, operability and reliability inherited from the Sony Betacam family of acquisition products.
In addition to these impressive capabilities, Sony XDCAM camcorders also provide numerous innovative features that take full advantage of the benefits of nonlinear disc media.
These unique features offer a completely new style of field operation, adding flexibility and efficiency to those operations where quick program completion is a top priority.
The PDW-530/530P features MPEG IMX/DVCAM-switchable recording and two built-in optical filter wheels (ND and CC), while the PDW-510/510P features DVCAM recording and one built-in optical filter wheel.
