The Lens
The Sony XDCAM EX
series offers attrac-
tive features for
focus and lens
options. While the
PMW-EX1R uses a
fixed Fujinon® 14x HD
lens, the PMW-EX3 allows for interchangeable lenses.
Students will notice the novel focus ring. Most cameras in
this price range have a servo lens, which is adequate for
most work as it supports autofocus; but students may find
it difficult to manually change focus on the fly, should the
need arise. Professional camcorders typically have a
focus ring with distance readouts, but lack autofocus
capability. The XDCAM EX series splits the difference; in
the forward position the focus ring becomes a normal
autofocus lens, while sliding the ring backwards snaps
it back into full manual mode, allowing the user the best
of both worlds. “The focus ring closes the biggest gap
between consumer and high end production cameras.
It measures distance accurately,” says Professor
Anthony Artis, the Production Center Manager of NYU’s
Department of Film and Television Program.
Sony’s XDCAM EX line of handheld, file-based camcorders
have become an essential video production tool in educational
institutions. The most popular models, the PMW-EX1R and PMW-EX3
camcorders, are available at an attractive price point and offer
superb image quality in a handheld, lightweight body in
addition to high speed workflow.
The XDCAM EX series features both ½-inch (EX1R, EX3, PMW320) and 2/3-inch (PMW350) 3CMOS
sensors, amazing 1920x1080 and 1280x720 HD recording capability plus flash memory recording.
Combining the moderate bit rate of MPEG-2 Long GOP compression to the SxS PRO™ memory
card, the XDCAM EX series offers cost effective long form recording coupled with nonlinear
capabilities such as instantaneous random access and high speed file-based operation.
The Sony XDCAM EX™ Series

Image Quality
Three ½-inch (EX1R, EX3, PMW320) and three 2/3-inch
(PMW350) Exmor® 1920x1080 pixel CMOS sensors handle
the camera’s imaging. They allow for higher resolution and
a shallower depth of field than the smaller sensors normally
found at this price point. Although the XDCAM EX series
records all of its images in long GOP MPEG-2 format in full
frame 1920x1080, it can also record in the HDV™ format
standard of 1440x1080. Rick Siegel, Adjunct Professor,
Columbia University Graduate Film Division, says, “This
camera’s imagers are significantly larger than other
camcorders in this price range. What these half-inch CMOS
chips deliver goes beyond just 1920x1080 resolution. Talent
looks great. It truly captures the contours and shades of
gray.” Anthony Artis agrees, “The picture quality looks great.
All of my students love it as soon as they set their eyes on
the image. At the end of the day, spec sheets mean
nothing to them. Image is everything.”
Shooting
For educational institutions
everywhere, 1080/24p is
considered the ideal mastering
format. 24p creates the rich film
look that enhances the overall
look of a project, offering
filmmakers increased creative control and flexibility.
Shooting in 24p enables the students to develop a film
look that is visually consistent with high end productions.
Rick Ramsey, Full Sail University’s Director of Film can attest
to that. “The XDCAM EX series opens up creative aspects
for my students. The cameras are part of Sony’s CineAlta™
line, and the image quality shows.”
One of the first things students notice while shooting with
the XDCAM EX1R and EX3 cameras is their gorgeous 3.5”
LCD screen. Easily viewable in full sunlight, the screen offers
1920x480 resolution. In addition, there is a standard
viewfinder in the back that can be powered on and
operated simultaneously with its LCD screen.
The Peaking functionality of these cameras has drawn rave
reviews from both students and professors alike. “With the
Peaking button on my EX, I don’t have to just trust my eyes.
What looks sharp on a 3.5” LCD isn’t always sharp. Especially
when I’m shooting from 40 yards away. With a press of the
peaking button, I can tell everything is in sharp focus and I
never have to second-guess myself. It saves me time, and
everything looks great when I review it in post production,”
says Artis. Over at Brooklyn College, Marcus Robinson, a
graduating film school student, raves, “I love the Peaking
functionality. It’s always spot on and gets the focus right.”
The XDCAM EX series offers a powerful Slow & Quick
Motion function, commonly known as over-cranking and
under-cranking by filmmakers. It enables students to create
unique looks or slow and fast-motion special effects. “Our
students love EX slow motion functionality, as it helps them
develop and achieve their own signature look,” says
Ramsey. With the Slow & Quick Motion function of the
XDCAM EX camcorders, images are recorded natively with
no padded frames and at full resolution. Even better, the
obtained quality of these images is indistinguishable from
those created in the editing process.
To flexibly handle contrast and give a specific look to an
image, the XDCAM EX series offers a wide variety of gamma
curves. In addition to four types of standard gamma curves,
the XDCAM EX series also provides four types of CINE
Gamma, identical to those on Sony’s high-end CineAlta
camcorders. Students can select the best-suited preset
gamma curve, depending on the scenes they’re shooting.
“The gamma spectrum on these cameras helps lay a great
foundation for digital filmmaking,” says Ramsey.
An important feature on the XDCAM EX line is its ability to
record time-lapse photography. With this feature, students
are able to demonstrate the natural progression of time in
just seconds. This is especially useful for students shooting
transitions for their documentaries or film projects.
With any camera line boasting the features that the
XDCAM EX series does, there’s bound to be some learning
curve, especially when students start playing around with
their deep menus. To simplify the process, user profiles can
be created and stored on each camera. “Each of our
previous cameras used to be set by hand. With these
cameras, we can now copy profiles to an SxS™ card and
pop them into every other camera. This is really helpful in a
school environment when students are always playing with
camera settings,” says Artis.

Durability
Film students are encouraged to get out of the classroom,
with some even traveling across the globe to tell their
stories. Marcus is one of many students who are taking their
XDCAM EX camcorders into the field. This past summer,
Marcus shot his thesis project on location in the moun-
tains of Trinidad. “The EX is small enough for me to take as
my carryon. This camera is light enough to travel with, and
it held up well despite the changing climate conditions I
encountered.” The XDCAM EX series is an invaluable asset
to students shooting on location, as the cameras have
been proven to stand up to rigorous environments.
Young Cheong, Brooklyn College’s Education Coordinator
for New Media and Digital Technology, discusses the
importance. “Durability when out in the field is very
important. With these cameras, students can focus on
telling their stories, and not whether the camera can
stand up to the environment. With Sony’s EX series, we trust
the camera.” Bill Gentile, Director of the Backpack
Journalism Project at American University agrees. “My EX
camera held up wonderfully in extreme conditions: heat
upwards of 120 degrees, and around sand and dust as
fine as talcum powder. I used it on rough terrain, in a
helicopter, and on a Humvee, and there was no diminish-
ing of quality whatsoever.”

Workflow
The Sony XDCAM EX series
are the first camcorders to
record on Sony and
SanDisk’s SxS™ Memory
Card format. Using a
16GB card, students can
record approximately 50
minutes of high quality
footage onto their solid state SxS card (optional 32 GB
SxS cards are available). Even better, the XDCAM EX series
cameras have two SxS slots, offering a student a recording
time of 240 minutes of high quality video without having to
change cards. With 2 64GB cards the max record time is
400 minutes/over 6.5 hrs (@ 35Mbs HQ mode).
The largest benefit of utilizing the SxS Memory Card
technology is in the time it saves students and teachers
when ingesting the footage. “Digitizing tape used to be an
entire lab that took us lots of time. With the workflow on
Sony’s EX series, we no longer need the lab. Within minutes,
their footage is ready to deliver and distribute. It’s a real
time saver, as now they can dedicate more class time to
increasing their educational assets,” says Ramsey. Anthony
Artis agrees. “Getting information off your card couldn’t be
easier. What used to take upwards of 45 minutes can now
be downloaded in less than 15. In addition, students can
instantly view their clips, instead of having to digitize.” In
fact, SxS offers faster real time file based workflow among
major non-linear editing system platforms and software
(Apple Final Cut Pro®, Avid Media Composer®, Grass Valley
Edius®, Adobe Premiere Pro®, and Sony Vegas® software).
For years, professors have looked for a viable alternative to
the tape format. What SxS card technology provides them
is a way of reducing the footprint that tape often leaves
behind. Young Cheung says, “The SxS media is durable.
Since we provide the students with SxS cards, students
are saving money because they don’t have to go out and
buy tapes. Typically students reused their tapes until the
point of picture degradation.” Anthony Artis also agrees.
“Students are no longer required to buy and store tapes.
When you have four classes with 24 students in them, tape
libraries fill up really quick. With SxS, everything gets stored
on a hard drive.” In addition, the Sony XDCAM EX series
allows for greater memory choices not limited to SxS,
including SanDisk’s SDHC class 10 cards as well as
Memory Stick PRO Duo HG™ HX cards via adapters.

The Perfect Teaching Tool
The Sony XDCAM EX series is a powerful HD teaching tool
for educational institutions everywhere, whether students
are shooting for broadcast, internet, or film. Graduating
students like Marcus Richardson know this is a camera he
can grow with. “This is an affordable camera for those
looking to shoot high quality HD. The quality is unbeliev-
able, and because it’s used everywhere, there is a high
likelihood I’ll be encountering this camera again.”
Professors feel that the Sony XDCAM EX camera line helps
improve the stories their students tell, as they no longer
need to worry about the technology behind their shots.
“These cameras make our students look like better
shooters. This camera line allows us to gradually expose
our beginner students to higher end features,” says Artis.
“Everything is going tapeless, and this camera is the future.
It will not be obsolete in 5-7 years. Other brands in the EX
price range simply do not have the features that the Sony
EX line offers. These are like $25,000 cameras you can get
for under $10,000. This is a camera that can grow with you
as a filmmaker. It bridges the gap between beginners and
professionals. Between the image quality, its ease of use,
and adaptability, this camera has enough features to
accommodate everyone at all levels of experience.”
Rick Ramsey agrees. “This is the best example of a mid-
range professional camera I’ve seen. Students can start
their own business using these cameras. It’s simple enough
for our students to start shooting out of the box, and easy
enough to learn the basic functions. This camera helps lay
down a great foundation for digital filmmaking.”
According to Rick Siegel, “The Sony EX series are remark-
able creative tools that deliver full HD capabilities to
students and independent producers. This is destined to
be the new ‘must have’ camera. It sets a new standard
for performance and value.”
“The EX is flexible enough to appeal to both experienced
and inexperienced students. It is useful in helping my
students understand the mechanics of acquiring the
images and sound they need to speak the language of
visual communication,” concludes Bill Gentile.
Linda Brown, Professor of Cinematography at University of
Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts says, “I think
by having the students shoot with these cameras since
they’re already in the field and being used professionally, it
really prepares them to leave USC and go right into the
field and pick up cameras that they are familiar and can
shoot with.”
According to filmmaker George Lucas, “The quality is so
beyond anything I’ve ever used, and I’ve been working with
Sony for a long time. Film schools are not about the
technology. They’re about telling stories. But, in order to
work in the industry, you want to teach the kids about the
future. Digital filmmaking is the future, it’s more efficient, it’s
more cost-effective, and the quality is far better.”
