PDW-F700 No longer CineAlta

After looking at the brochure for the new PDW-F700 I noticed that the CineAlta logo has been replaced with a PowerHAD logo instead. http://news.sel.sony.com/en/press_ro...ase/34009.html
http://news.sel.sony.com/en/image_li...asset_id=33585

Will the new XDCAM not support 24p?

What are your thoughts?

As far as I know it doesn't do 24p, that excludes it from CineAlta

correct. 24p has apparently been out of the recipe for the 700 for some time now. also - there is no "F" in the name - an additional indicator that confirms the lack of 24p. (ie: F900)


interestingly, i see that the model CBS News is adopting is specifically the PDW-700H. it's the first time i've seen the 700 described with a suffix of any sort.

what i'm wondering is:
how the ethernet capabilities would be used.....(sorry - didn't mean to hijack...) and if a firewire deck could be plugged directly into the 700 and files transferred to it without the need for a computer....

I wonder if they think the PDW-700 would compete too much with the lower end hdcams...

Where did you see an article about CBS and XDCAM?

The XDCAM SD cameras have the ethernet capability. Essentially, being an ethernet device on a network means it can be shared across a LAN or WAN. Imagine that you plug your camera in via ethernet and we have VPN (virtual private networking) set up between us. I could 'see' your camera as a network drive and pull files from it just as if it were sitting here (albeit a slower connection via internet).

No, you can't go direct to a hard drive. It would be nice if you could just do a file copy after the fact by hooking up a firewire drive.

so the firewire 'out' is only for a dv stream or FAM mode reading off of the disk?

Yes, that's how it works on my camera. You can also hook up a firewire cable in AV/C mode for deck control while using the HDSDI output into a capture card.

The PDW-700 also has this ethernet connection for FTP.

Thanks Ivan, I am aware of that. I was explaining to Brian that it was a feature that first debuted on the XDCAM SD cameras. As in, this isn't a brand new feature for the 700. I guess I wasn't clear in my earlier post.
