EXTENSION PRORES, RAW AND CONNECTORS FOR PXW-FS7
The XDCAM PXW-FS7 camcorder records video in XAVC and MPEG-2 formats on XQD internal recording media. You can attach an optional XDCA-FS7 extension.
The extension is adaptable via a multi-pin connector, so you're no longer hindered by cables. The extension offers additional I/O connectors such as Timecode and Genlock for multi-camera use, or the possibility of using standard V-type batteries. It also offers RAW data output for recording 12-bit RAW video on the AXS-R5 (in conjunction with the HXR-IFR5), or on a third-party RAW recorder via the RAW FS interface. The XDCA-FS7 encodes the video stream in the Apple ProRes 422 codec, which is then stored on the internal XQD card.
