Sony PXW-X70/4K- Kit incl. 4K Upgrade

This camcorder offers several options for different applications, including XAVC, AVCHD, and file-based recording with DV. For XAVC recording, the PXW-X70 uses the MXF file format, which efficiently compresses a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution using the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 HD codec. The 10-bit image sampling is 4:2:2 with a highly efficient long-GOP compression rate of 50 Mbps, 35 Mbps, or 25 Mbps.

4K Upgrade CBKZ-X70FX

The 4K license allows PXW-X70 users to upgrade their camcorder and then operate at four times the resolution. The upgrade (CBKZ-X70FX) enables QFHD recording in 30p, 25p or 24p and is included in this kit.

PXW-X70 users also benefit from a free HD firmware upgrade to version 2.0, which unlocks several features for improved broadcast and editing workflows. Proxy recording makes editing workflows more efficient and simplifies the transfer of content to remote locations. FTP transfer allows proxy recordings - as well as recordings in XAVC and AVCHD formats - to be sent via an Internet connection to an FTP server that serves as remote storage. The integrated WLAN or wired LAN connection via a USB connection cable and a network adapter (optional) makes this function possible. Live streaming directly from the PXW-X70 to remote locations is now also possible.
