Sony PXW-Z190 3X CMOS 4K XDCAM Camcorder

Built-in electronic Variable ND Filters
Sony’s ground-breaking integration of electronic variable ND Filters into the body of a camcorder enables fast, agile shooting. Moving from shadowy interiors to bright sun-lit exteriors is no problem. Unlike conventional optical ND filters, the electronic ND filter on the PXW-Z190 can be controlled from 1/4ND to 1/128ND linearly while ND Filters can be set to fully auto. You can even manually adjust Depth of Field using the iris lens ring, while relying on the camcorder to maintain constant exposure without changing gain nor shutter speed.
Dual Multi-Interface (MI) Shoe and 4ch audio input
Dual MI shoe enables the use of a wireless microphone and video light at the same time to achieve further flexibility. When using Sony’s UWP-D series wireless microphone**, audio signals can be delivered without cabling – eliminating the risk of accidental disconnection. Enhanced 4-channel audio recording is supported by a combination of 2 XLR inputs and audio input via an MI shoe.
