Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com November 17, according to Sony official release, Sony 4K handheld camcorder PXW-Z280V ushered in the version 6.0 firmware update.

CTOnews.com learned that the Sony PXW-Z280 professional camera uses a 1ax 2-inch 3CMOS imaging, supports shooting 4K images with 3840mm 2160 resolution, is equipped with a stepless variable ND filter, and supports a 4K resolution of 4:2:2 10bit, which makes the picture finer and the color transition smoother. Support 17x optical zoom, support facial detection autofocus.

Compared with the previous version of v5.0, the new version of v6.0 firmware has been upgraded and improved as follows:

01 enhanced C3P cloud platform collaboration support (this service is not available in Chinese mainland)

Support for camera [all files] management based on C3P cloud platform.

You can upload [all files] from the camera or download from C3P, and then use a variety of camera configuration settings.

Support automatic upload of material files in the storage card

In PXW-Z280V v5.0, users can upload specified footage files to the C3P cloud platform by manual selection within the camera. Version 6.0 enhances this capability of PXW-Z280V and will allow users to automatically upload footage files to the C3P cloud platform. In this way, after each material file is packaged and dropped into the memory card, it can be grabbed by the camera and entered into the automatic upload queue.

02 added support for audio level CH1 / CH2 and CH3 / CH4 monitor group switching function

With the gradual progress of the 4K production process in the domestic radio and television industry, many radio and television institutions need to record four-channel material or output four-channel audio and video signals. In general, the domestic radio and television technical production standard requires that the simultaneous sound of the interview should be placed in the 3x4 channel. Previously, because PXW-Z280V only supported the display of the audio signal level of 1 dial and 2 channels in the shooting monitoring screen, it was unable to monitor the level of 3 stroke and 4 channels at the same time, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the daily work of users. I would like to express my deep apologies.

Sony listens to users' advice to meet today's increasingly diverse professional production needs through firmware upgrades as much as possible. When PXW-Z280V is upgraded to v6.0, you can select CH1 / CH2 or CH3 / CH4 channels for visual level monitoring from the camera menu "Audio"-"Audio output"-"Monitor CH".

03 support defining the definable button as the audio level monitoring group switching function

Switching the monitoring audio level channel through the menu is sometimes a little complicated, so on this basis, add the use of assignable button, intuitively click to switch the audio level monitoring group.

After upgrading the PXW-Z280V to v6.0, you can directly switch the audio level of the monitor group by assigning the two definable buttons as [Audio Monitor CH] and [Audio Monitor CH switch] respectively in the "system"-"Button can be specified" menu.

04 the number of metadata files displayed in the expansion plan

PXW-Z280V v6.0 firmware increases the maximum number of planned metadata file displays for cameras from 64 to 512.

05 added [sqq Motion] and [Proxy recording] setting linkage function

When the [Proxy recording] feature is enabled, if the [sqq Motion] feature is enabled at the same time, the previously enabled [Proxy recording feature] will be temporarily disabled. In this case, once the [sqq Motion] function is turned off, the [Proxy recording] function will be restored.

06 [LCD / Image Finder SDR Preview] function zebra crossing signal reference function

When the [gamma display assist] and [LCD / Imager SDR Preview] functions are turned on at the same time, zebra stripes will be displayed on the image finder and LCD screen as SDR output level monitoring.

07 fixed focus setting display error

Fixed an issue where the [AF] flag was incorrectly displayed on the LCD screen when PXW-Z280V was set to [Full MF] focus mode.

08 enhance security and stability
