HXR-NX800 NXCAMTM and PXW-Z200 XDCAMTM with 1.0-type CMOS Sensor and 20x Optical Zoom Lens Offer Recording and Streaming Capabilities Ideal for Broadcast, Corporate, Education, and Faith Content Creation
Sony Electronics is releasing two new 4K handheld camcorders, the NXCAM HXR-NX800, and XDCAM PXW-Z200 with SDI and MXF wrapper[1]. Both models feature artificial intelligence (AI) recognition capabilities, high-precision autofocus (AF), a 20x optical zoom lens, a variable neutral-density (ND) filter, and assignable lens ring[2]. The new models combine portability, functionality, interoperability, and network connectivity for a high-quality and inclusive capture and live streaming experience. The cameras are suited to individuals and small teams supporting applications within broadcast, corporate, faith, and education. The HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 are planned to be available September 2024 for a suggested retail price of $3,299.99 (USD) and $3,999.99 (USD), respectively.
The new HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 build upon Sony's rich legacy and expertise in broadcast and production and marries it with the latest transformative technology trends including AI and all in one streaming, said Yang Cheng, Vice President, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics. As we continue to strengthen our portfolio, we're pleased to combine some of our most sought-after and beneficial features into a handheld form factor to accommodate professionals at all levels with the options and capabilities to make their work more impactful, visually appealing, and efficient.
Sony XDCAM PXW-Z200
High-Quality Capture AI subject recognition, auto focus (AF), and support for 4K 60p/120p recording facilitate high-quality capture with less manual input. The cameras feature a BIONZ XR image processing engine and a specialized AI-processing unit for highly accurate, real-time recognition, tracking, and framing of subjects. In addition, the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200's 1.0-inch-type Exmor RS CMOS stacked sensor provides high-sensitivity and low-noise capability.
An Electronic Variable ND Filter enables users to toggle seamlessly between 1/4 to 1/128 density. Users also have the option to enable auto-ND, which allows the camera to maintain an optimized exposure without the user having to adjust settings - especially useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments. Two rings for focus and zoom[3] and two dials for IRIS/ND Variable are located side-by-side, for effortlessly adjusting exposure along with focus and zoom. Twelve assignable buttons provide further customization.
Sony XDCAM PXW-Z200 and NXCAM HXR-NX800 20X Zoom
Powerful Zoom and Image Stability The two new cameras are equipped with Sony's G Lens with a 20x optical power zoom that covers 24mm wide angle to 480mm telephoto and a maximum aperture of F2.8-F4.5. The models can achieve 30x (4K) and 40x (HD) zoom using Sony's Clear Image Zoom technology.
Active mode combines electronic correction with optical image stabilization to provide smoother imagery on the go[4].
Sony NXCAM HXR-NX800
Compact New Design Both cameras feature a newly designed foldable viewfinder, a removable microphone holder, and a foldable 3.5-inch LCD monitor that allows users to check images and focus in bright environments. The new models are compact and have an exceptionally lightweight body (HXR-NX800: approximately 1.93 kg (4 lb 4.1 oz.), PXW-Z200: approximately 1.96 kg (4 lb 5.1 oz)) for their rich feature set. Additionally, either model can be folded up for further ease of storage and portability.
Interoperability and Integration The HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 provide beneficial integration with Sony's camera portfolio. Presets such as S-Cinetone , ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild and HLG Natural, can be easily adjusted to color match the footage captured on Sony's other broadcast, Cinema Line, and AlphaTM cameras.
The new cameras support a wide variety of recording formats including XAVC HS, XAVC S, XAVC SI, and XAVC HS Proxy (up to 16 Mbps). They support proxy recording, which reduces the burden of data storage and management during post-production and TC/UB recording, which is necessary when operating multiple cameras. The PXW-Z200 will also support XAVC (MXF) recording through a future firmware update expected summer 2025.
Additionally, the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 are equipped with various interfaces including HDMI Type A, USB Type-C , LAN, and REMOTE terminals. The PXW-Z200 supports SDI (12G, 6G, 3G [Level A/B], HD) input/output, and TC input/output.
Professional Network Connectivity The HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200 offer an all-in-one recording and streaming solution that empowers a single operator or small team to easily manage both capture and distribution. Connecting the cameras to a network, such as Wi-Fi, enables live streaming of recorded footage to streaming services and video sites via RTMP/RTMPS or SRT.
Versatile file transfer options include HEVC (H.265) and AVC (H.264) codecs, automatic upload to the cloud or an FTP server, and the ability for proxy chunk for high-quality and secure file transfer.
Furthermore, by combining it with Sony's new portable data transmitter, PDT-FP1, the two new camcorders can support higher quality streaming with the company's proprietary QoS technology and Creators' Cloud for enterprise services, including the camera linking cloud service, C3 Portal (paid service), XDCAM pocket, and the cloud broadcast system, M2 Live.
Mindful Accessibility and Sustainability In keeping with Sony's commitment to accessible and environmentally conscious technology, the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200's menus can be operated usin
