The new improved lockable MxM expresscard/34 reader has been specifically designed and manufactured for use in Sony EX1/EX3 video cameras. The measurements of the card are comparable with Sony’s SxS media card. The design of the MxM expresscard/34 accommodates SDHC memory cards without protruding out of the adapter. Therefore, the physical measurements are closely matched to Sony’s SxS media card. Thus, it allows media chamber door to totally close on the EX1/EX3 cameras. The MxM utilizes a very reliable push in/push out mechanism and is embodied in a rugged stainless steel case, which minimizes accidental damage. The MxM expresscard/34 has been field tested and works best with the popular memory card manufacturers ATP ProMax Class 6, RAW SDHC Class 6 from Hoodman Corporation, Sandisk or Transcend. These memory cards are one of the fastest and have the best specifications for read and write for Sony EX1/EX3 cameras.

The MxM expresscard/34 will record at 1920 x 1080/50i or 60i35mb/s HQ in the same way as your SxS Pro memory card will record. This is the most popular format the majority of video operators will record at. By utilizing a combination of MxM expresscard/34 and a reasonably priced SDHC memory card, film makers and videographers on location can now shoot for days, without the unnecessary and costly need of extra equipment to safeguard their footage to laptops or pcs. They can offload at their convenience at a later stage and reduce interruptions during the filming process.

This improved version of the MxM is now lockable and features a removable latch door as well as an improved internal and external design. The new latch door can be fully disengaged if required and is easily reassembled into position by inserting the latch and turning it 90° clockwise back into the locking position.

Supported Video Formats in NTSC area:
· HQ1080/60i · SP1080/60i · HQ1080/30P · HQ720/60P · HQ720/30P · HQ1080/24P · SP1080/24P

Supported Video Formats in PAL area:
· HQ1080/50i · SP1080/50i · HQ1080/25P · HQ720/50P · HQ720/25P

MxM expresscard/34 in combination with the most accepted SDHC memory cards will not over crank above 720p/45fps successfully (tested with the ATP ProMax Class 6, RAW SDHC 16GB Class 6 and Sandisk). You may be able to achieve a higher rate, but only for short periods (10s – 3s long clips) as it is limited to Sony’s EX1/EX3 implementation of USB interface.

12 bit ADSP
12 bit A/D conversion and advanced digital signal processing ensures excellent tonal reproduction, for the most demanding applications.

Choice of Multiple frame rates
You can select from a number of frame rates to match the required look for each production. 50i and 59.94i can be selected to acquire interlaced “TV look” pictures, with 23.98P, 24P, 25P and 29.97P also available for “film look” (progressive) images. Please note that 30P and 60i modes are not supported.

TruEye Processing
TruEye virtually eliminates hue distortion, especially in extreme lighting conditions. TruEye processes videa data in a similar way to the human eye – processing brightness, hue and saturation. This significantly improves the reproduction of natural skin tones.

Multi Matrix
Multi Matrix provides further in-camera creative control and can be used to match colourimetry during multiple camcorder shoots. It is also effective for manipulating the hue and saturation of specific selected colours within a scene. One example would be to adjust the hue and saturation of a flower petal without changing other colours within the picture.

Auto Trace White
Auto Trace White (ATW) is a feature that automatically adjusts the white balance as lighting conditions change. This is ideal when shooting in rapidly changing lighting conditions (for example, when moving from an indoor to an outdoor location). Conventional Auto White Balance is also available.

Creative control with User Gamma
The CvpFileEditor can be used with the HDW-F900R for creation of custom gamma curves. Existing gamma curves, generated for use with the original HDW-F900 can also be applied.

Long record duration onto HDCAM cassettes
The HDW-F900R records up to 50 minutes onto a small HDCAM tape when shooting in 24P mode. Maximum record durations at 50i and 59.94i are 48 minutes and 40 minutes.

Dual optical filter wheel
The HDW-F900R is equipped with dual optical filter wheels. You can choose from the following Neutral Density (ND) settings: CLEAR, 1/4ND, 1/16ND and 1/64ND, and the following Colour Correction (CC) settings A:5600K, B:3200K, C:4300K and D:6300K.

Optional HD to SD down conversion
The HKDW-702 HD to SD downconverter option used with the HDW-730S and HDW-750P HDCAM camcorders can be used with the HDW-F900R. SDI or analogue VBS can be output from the camcorder when this option is fitted. Alternatively, the new HKDW-902R board can be installed. In addition to downconvertion, 2-3 pulldown is supported which allows NTSC monitoring at 59.94i when the camcorder is running at 23.98PsF.

Slow Shutter and Image Inversion
The new HKDW-905R option can be installed into the HDW-F900R to add slow shutter capability (up to 64 frames) and image inversion. The slow shutter feature can be used to either boost sensitivity or to enable motion blur to be used as a creative tool. Image inversion allows the camcorder to be used with a wider range of anamorphic and film.

Picture Cache Recording
It’s always annoying to miss a great shot, especially when shooting wildlife footage. Picture cache recording provides an additional chance to capture the action even if it occurred before the REC button was pressed. An optional HKDW-703 can be installed into the camcorder to provide this feature. This allows you to capture up to 8 seconds of material immediately before you press the record button.

Time Lapse
The HKDW-703 also provides Time Lapse (Interval) Recording. In MANUAL mode, 1 to 8 frames are recorded each time the REC button is pressed. In AUTO mode, the overall recording time is set (e.g. 10 minutes) along with the playback time on tape (e.g. 10 seconds). Using the picture cache to achieve Time Lapse reduces the mechanical wear to the record mechanism.

More choices for signal output
The HDW-F900R is equipped with two HD-SDI outputs as standard, allowing high definition pictures to be monitored directly on-site without the need for an additional adapter. One of these outputs can be switched to standard definition when the camcorder is fitted with an optional HKDW-702 or HKDW-902R board.

Same optical axis as the original HDW-F900
The HDW-F900R uses the same optical axis as the original HDW-F900. The lens accessories developed for the HDW-F900 can be used without modification.

Great audio performance
Four channels of digital audio can be input to the HDW-F900R via two XLR inputs. Each XLR receives 2 channels of AES/EBU audio data at 20 bits resolution.

Slot-in wireless receiver
You can slot a Sony wireless receiver directly into the chassis of the HDW-750P. This adds wireless receiver functionality without compromising the compact ergonomic design of the camcorder. A Sony WRR-855A/B can be used.

Rugged and ergonomic design
The design of the HDW-F900R is based on years of Sony experience in camera design and provides a high level of mobility and balance to minimise fatigue in all shooting conditions. Combined with the viewfinder, battery, cassette and microphone, the total weight is only 5.4 Kg.
