Sony X300 HD Camera
The Sony X300 is a multi-purpose 3 CCD 1/2 inch High Definition camera incorporated into an extremely compact chassis and packed with features and performance associated with larger and more expensive HD camera products. The camera which is switchable among a range of HD formats (see below), is equipped with a HD-SDI output and is compatible with HD broadcast remote control panels (RCP - 750, MSU 900 & 950 panels) allowing for seamless integration into HD broadcast environments.
The Sony X300 can be supplied as a standalone unit (Wireless RCP option also available) or in conjunction with the Telecast POV single mode fibre transmission system for remote operation. When combined with the ACS SMARThead remote system, this provides a cost effective HD POV solution for a range of HD broadcast applications from sports events to entertainment and reality programmes.
