4K Upgrade. This is just like the standard Sony PXW-X70 XDCAM camcorder, but with the 4K upgrade installed. This upgrade enables 3,840 × 2,160 QFHD recording at 30p/25p/24p.
Long Group of Pictures Compression. This camera uses Sony’s XAVC-L codec to deliver 1080p footage at 50 Mbps with 10-bit 4:2:2 color subsampling.
12x Optical Zoom. Reach farther with a 29-348mm f/2.8-4.5 (Super 35mm equivalent) zoom lens!
SDI Output. The X70’s 3G-SDI port allows signals to be transmitted through industry-standard BNC cables, much more reliably than HDMI does.
What do I need to record in XAVC-L quality?
To record in XAVC-L quality, you’ll need an SD memory card with the capacity to store 64GB or more.
