The
Sony PDW-530 XDCAM Camcorder provides the durability and
reliability professionals have become accustomed to with their full
line of ENG camcorders. The PDW-530 provides excellent image quality,
using the same imaging technology as the highly regarded MSW-900. The
XDCAM takes recording to the next level, utilizing non-linear optical
Blue Laser technology. Less time logging, capturing and digitizing
footage allows videographers to move seamlessly between acquisition and
post-production. This increase in efficiency will result in shorter
production times leading to higher profitability.
- Progressive Recording
- The PDW-530 has the
ability to record in progressive mode, which enhances image quality and
can provide a more 'film-like' image. The camera can switch between
standard (30 fps) and 24P modes. The 24P mode gives video the look and
shutter of film, which is conventionally shot at 24 frames per second.

Loop Recording
-
Camera Operators often find themselves missing the first few seconds of
action due to camera pre-roll. With the XDCAM this becomes a thing of
the past! Simply set the camera to the Loop Recording mode and
the camera will buffer 10 seconds of audio and video into the camera's
memory. This capability can help prevent the loss of unexpected but
important events occurring before the operator even has the chance to
press the REC button.
