SONY HDW F900R Camera

The Sony HDW-F900R is Highlight Films‘ leading high definition camera
The Sony HDW-F900R is widely accepted as one of the more successful Digital Movie Camera, ideal for exploring new horizons in digital movie-making. What distinguishes the HDW-F900R from any contemporary camcorder is its ability to capture and record digital high definition pictures at 24 progressive frames per second just like a conventional film camera.

This camcorder features a more compact and lighter chassis, HD-SDI outputs and new accessory boards for slow shutter, image inversion and down conversion with 3:2 pull-down. The HDW-F900R model can also take advantage of the optional video cache feature of Sony’s HDW-730/750 camcorder series.

The new camcorder has three 2.2 megapixel CCDs, 12-bit DSP, and has the same optical axis as its previous model with identical image-making capabilities.

Sony’s goal was to refine the camera, making it weigh less while offering the modern HD interfaces that are now common to the production world. Monitoring is now digital instead of Y/Pb/Pr, eliminating the need for adapters or other terminal gear used for HD-SDI monitoring. The new HDW-F900R also features a completely lead-free solder design.

You can now record four channels of AES/EBU digital audio without the use of the HDCA-901 camera adapter, and it can also record four channels of simultaneous analogue audio.
