High-quality audio
Two XLR connectors support professional microphones such as
the Sony ECM-680S and wireless microphone systems such as
the UWP-V1 (sold separately). By combining the built-in stereo
microphone with the external microphone input, you can
record up to four channels of 24-bit/48-kHz audio.
Relay recording
For extended shoots, the PXW-Z100 provides relay recording
between the two card slots. You can begin a recording session
on one card, then automatically switch to another—and even
replace the first card and switch back! Maximum session
duration is 13 hours. (With current NLEs, spanned clips cannot
be combined. Depending on NLE, audio may be discontinuous
at the breaks.)

4K HDMI and 3G HD-SDI outputs
The HDMI® output delivers 4K/60p and 4K/50p to
Sony 4K BRAVIA® televisions. For broader
compatibility, Sony plans to release a firmware
upgrade* when the HDMI standard is enhanced
to support 4K 50/60p. The 3G HD-SDI output
supports 1080/60p and provides HD output
during 4K recording. (The camera cannot
output 4K (HDMI) and HD (3G HD-SDI)
simultaneously.)
*Planned availability Summer 2014.
Time code input/output
A true professional, the PXW-Z100 provides time
code input and output, vital to multi-camera
productions.
Wi-Fi remote control
For operating flexibility, you can control record
start/stop, focus, zoom and aperture from a
smartphone browser.
Creative paint functions
The PXW-Z100 affords exceptional creative control with adjustable
gamma curve, black level, skin detail, color and more. You can even
save these parameters to a memory card as a camera profile. Then use
your profile on another PXW-Z100 for precise matching in multi-camera
setups.
Powerful focus assist
Because focus is especially critical on 4K content, Sony provides auto
focus and one-touch auto focus, plus powerful support for manual
focus, including color peaking and focus magnifier.
