In cinematography, you need
the right connections
They’re not just jacks;
they’re an open
door to a world of
possibilities.
HD-SDI B:
For the dramatic effects of overcranking, dual-link HD-SDI
combines the A and B outputs to support uncompressed
1080/60p of 10-bit 4:2:2 signals. For the most demanding
green screen compositing and high-end color correction,
the dual links provide the spectacular color resolution
of uncompressed 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB output to external
recorders, such as Sony’s SR-R1 SRMASTER field recorder.
SDI OUT
The SDI output is capable of providing SD or HD signals up to a superlative
uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2. The output supports real time monitoring at full
resolution with or without LUTs. And it enables you to supplement the camera’s
on-board XDCAM EX recording with outboard capture. In addition, the HD-SDI
signal includes SMPTE RDD18 acquisition metadata—including ASC CDL (Color
Decision List) information.
HD-SDI A:
Here is the full quality of uncompressed imagery with 10
bits of precision and 4:2:2 color sampling. You can apply a
monitor LUT to the SDI output while recording S-Log to the
A output. The F3 even provides 3G-SDI, enabling a single
cable to transport signals that usually require two: RGB 4:4:4
or 1080/60p 4:2:2.
TC IN/OUT
A true professional, the F3
provides BNC connectors
for SMPTE Time Code
input and output.
GENLOCK IN
The PMW-F3 is a team
player, ready to work in
multi-camera productions
with its Genlock Input
.
i.LINK
®
Interface
The i.LINK IEEE 1394 interface transfers DVCAM
®
or HDV™
signals to and from compatible PCs and hard drives.
HDMI Output
The HDMI™ output supports connection up to
1080/60p for consumer televisions and compatible
outboard recorders.
USB Mini-B
Connects the F3 directly to a computer.
Remote Control
Whether it’s DIT control in film-style shoots or camera shading in live television,
you can “paint” the camera remotely using standard Sony RM-B150, B170
and B750 remote control boxes, as well as the RCP-1000/1001 series and
RCP-1500/1501/1503 series remote control panels. These remote controls are
compatible with the F65 and F35 for multi-camera shoots. The sleek RM-B150
operates 29 functions while the RM-B750 controls 52 functions.
3D-Link
The PMW-F3 was built from the ground up for stereoscopic 3D production.
Sony’s optional CBK-3DL01 upgrade enables 3D-Link functionality, which
allows a single remote control to operate a pair of cameras. Included with
CBK-3DL01 is a 10-pin cable that transfers genlock, timecode, and camera
settings for matched imagery, synchronized operation and simultaneous
recording start/stop. There’s also unified iris, focus, and zoom control with
compatible lenses.
USB Type A
Connects to the optional CBK-WA01 Wi-Fi Adaptor for planning
metadata workflow.
VIDEO OUT
The camera provides quick and easy analog output for
HD-Y in HD output mode or composite video in SD mode.
