Two Sony 4K Handheld Professional Camcorders with AI-based Subject Recognition 

From News Desk

Sony India has launched two new 4K handheld camcorders, the NXCAM HXR-NX800 and XDCAM PXW-Z200 with SDI and MXF wrapper. Both models feature AI recognition capabilities, high-precision autofocus AF, a newly designed 20x optical zoom lens, a variable neutral-density (ND) filter and assignable lens ring. The new models combine portability, functionality, interoperability and network connectivity for a high-quality and inclusive capture and live streaming experience. The cameras are suited to individuals and small teams supporting applications within broadcast, corporate, faith and education. 

AI subject recognition, auto focus (AF) and support for 4K 60p/120p recording facilitate capture with less manual input. The cameras feature a BIONZ XR image processing engine and a specialised AI-processing unit for highly accurate, real-time recognition, tracking and framing of subjects. In addition, the HXR-NX800 and PXW-Z200’s 1.0-inch-type Exmor RS CMOS stacked sensor provides high-sensitivity and low-noise capability.   

An Electronic Variable ND Filter enables users to toggle seamlessly between 1/4 to 1/128 density. Users also have the option to enable auto-ND, which allows the camera to maintain an optimised exposure without the user having to adjust settings – especially useful when moving quickly between indoor and outdoor environments. Two rings for focus and zoom and two dials for IRIS/ND Variable are located side-by-side, for effortlessly adjusting exposure along with focus and zoom. Twelve assignable buttons provide further customisation.
