Overview

Ideal for professional broadcast, documentary or live event video applications, the PXW-X180 XDCAM HD422 camcorder offers a 25x HD zoom lens, three 1/3"-type Exmor CMOS sensors for high resolution, low noise and wide dynamic range, and a variable Neutral Density filter which provides more flexibility in density control and a broader range of shooting techniques. By using the wireless function, the camera connection is broadened to other destinations for sharing content by transfering files. In addition, a live streaming feature is available via cellular connection, Wi-Fi, and ethernet, which requires user upgradable free of charge system software version 2.00 or later and network function software version 1.31 or later.

The camcorder has a new type of Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe where compatible accessories attached to the MI shoe can be controlled from the PXW-X180. The new HVL-LBPC video LED light can be attached which enables controlling the light ON and OFF syncing with recording START and STOP. Also, if an optional UWP-D wireless microphone receiver is connected with use of the adapter, power supply and cable-free audio signal input are possible, minimizing the need for extra batteries and removing the need for additional cabling.
