PMW-320K
A Shoulder Mount Full-HD & SD Camcorder with
SxS PRO Solid State Recording, 1/2-inch sensors
and 16x zoom HD lens
XDCAM EX - New Generation Solid State Recording
System
The PMW-320 extends the multiple award-winning
XDCAM EX Solid State Recording product family with
a new shoulder mount design and cutting edge three
1/2 inch-type Exmor full-HD CMOS sensors. The
PMW-320 offers all the advanced creative recording
features of the PMW-EX1R compact camcorder, plus
enhancements such as a Scene File System and 4
channel audio. The PMW-320L version is supplied
without a lens to provide customers with more choice,
while the PMW-320K version is supplied with a
Fujinon HD lens.
The 320's chassis is based on the proven XDCAM
HD422 chassis, but weighs just 3.2kg and is one of
the lightest shoulder camcorders in its class. Excep-
tionally low power consumption makes it environ-
mentally friendly, using approximately 60% less than
a comparable HD shoulder camcorder.**
The PMW-320 supports multiple frame rate recording
such as 59.94i, 50i, and native 23.98P and 25P as
well as being 1080i/720P switchable. There is also a
choice of a 35Mb/s High Quality mode, 25Mb/s HDV
1080i compatible mode and 25Mb/s Standard Defini-
tion DVCAM recording. Twin memory card slots sup-
port up to 280 minutes HD recording time using two
32GB SxS memory cards.
XDCAM EX is a focus of continual innovation from IT-
friendly MP4 file recording and advanced creative fea-
tures, through to SxS-1 low cost media and an ad-
aptor enabling the use of high-speed Memory Stick-
s™.
All XDCAM EX Camcorders come supplied with a
2-year PrimeSupport contract which offers unique

age. That's fast, hassle-free repairs, a helpline offer-
ing expert technical advice, and a free loan unit while

Features
Three 1/2-inch type Exmor™ CMOS Sensors
The PMW-320 is equipped with three 1/2-inch type
Exmor™ CMOS Sensors, each with an effective pixel
count of 1920 (H) x 1080 (V). These deliver superior
picture performance with full-HD resolution. This
1/2-inch-type image sensor allows the camcorder to
provide an excellent sensitivity of F10 in 60Hz mode
(F11 in 50Hz), a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio of
54 dB, and a high horizontal resolution of 1000 TV
lines*. In addition, the large 1/2-inch-type image
sensors can capture images with a shallower depth of
field, giving users more freedom of creative expres-
sion.
What's more, the Exmor CMOS sensor is a unique
design that deploys an A/D converter to each column
of pixels, resulting in a much lower clock speed than
conventional CMOS sensors. This makes it possible to
greatly reduce power consumption of the camcorder.
*In 1920 x 1080/59.94i mode
1920 x 1080 HD Recording Using the "MPEG-2 Long
GOP" Codec
The PMW-320 camcorder records 1920 x 1080 HD im-
ages using the "MPEG-2 Long GOP" codec, which con-
forms to the MPEG-2 MP@HL compression standard.
"MPEG-2 Long GOP" is a mature codec - also adopted
by the XDCAM HD and HDV 1080i series of products -
which enables users to record stunning-quality HD
video and audio with highly efficient, reliable data
compression.
