- The PXW-Z450 supports a variety of 4K and HD formats, including 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) at 50p/59.94p, using the XVAC Intra and XAVC Long GOP workflow standards.
High sensitivity image making
The camcorder’s specially-developed 4K 2/3-inch type CMOS sensor provides superb image quality and high sensitivity.
The sensor matches B4 mount lens systems, allowing you to use commercially-available B4 4K lens systems without the need to use an external optical attachment or internal optical extender.
HD B4 mount lenses may also be used, though performance may vary.
Ergonomic design for superb weight-balance
The camcorder has excellent weight and handling capabilities.
The lighter lens grip resolves any front-heavy issues and dramatically reduces the load on the right arm.
This makes it easier to shoot for long periods and delivers more stable images.
Supports QHD LCD and Full HD OLED viewfinders
The camcorder supports a variety of Sony’s viewfinders, including the Full HD OLED HDVF-EL30 and HDVF-EL20.
The OLED viewfinders take an advantage of focusing the 4K shooting.
Embedded RJ-45 connector
An embedded RJ-45 Ethernet 100B-T connector on the right side of the camcorder provides a robust and fast network connection that can be used for file transfer, live streaming and camera control from a web browser.
One-touch wireless LAN connection
A Near Field Communication (NFC) function allows easy, one-touch wireless LAN connection to a smartphone or tablet device without manual setting of the network parameters.
Built-in wireless module with Content Browser Mobile
The camcorder’s built-in wireless module gives you more mobility with no cable needed, enabling proxy recording and file transfer or live streaming.
In file transfer mode, high-resolution files and XAVC Proxy files can be transferred over a wireless connection to a cloud or FTP server thanks to the Content Browser Mobile (CBM) application.
In Push mode, the CBM application enables users to monitor the currently shot video and to wirelessly control camcorder settings such as focus, zoom, iris, white balance, REC START/STOP, and more.
With Content Browser Mobile V2.0, proxy trim, proxy partial clip upload and logging are available.
High quality live streaming is provided by the advanced Sony QoS technology embedded in the camcorder and in the PWS-100RX1 network RX station.
Non QoS live streaming is also possible with a third-party receiver or VLC player.
Easy network connection
A dedicated button gives simple on-off control of Network Client Mode, Auto Upload (Proxy) and Live Streaming.
Records a second camera’s feed via SDI
An SD or HD-SDI (up to 1.5 G) signal can be recorded by the camcorder, a useful function to record an external feed from another camera.
Lower power consumption
By optimizing the design of the hardware, the lightweight camcorder has a low power consumption.
This enables continuous recording operation for long hours of filming.
Flexible operation
The CA-FB70 Optical Fiber Camera Adaptor or the CA-TX70 Digital Triax Camera Adaptor can be attached to the camcorder for live camera operation.
The CA-FB70 enables the camcorder to transmit signals via an optical fiber cable up to 820.21 ft between the CA-FB70 and HXCU-FB70 Optical Fiber Camera Control Unit (CCU) with power and signal transmission.
The CA-TX70 transmits signals via triax cable up to 1,968.5 ft between the CA-TX70 and HXCU-TX70 Digital Triax Camera Control Unit.
