HPX-500 or EX3

Last time I looked at a Discovery channel deliverables guide – XDCam cameras – which were only 1/2 inch at the time were acceptable for broadcast. FYI.

Wow, this thread is like a comedy skit!

I have never heard people argue over the EX series’ resolution as being too low.

I wonder what the opinion of the HPX or HVX series is?

HD is not a codec. HD is not “broadcast quality” 4:2:2 does not make something HD nor does 4:2:0 exclude a camera from being HD.

Image quality varies, but the title of HD is based solely on image resolution.

If you do not like the EX cameras, no problem. But don’t spread mis-truths to make your point.

Which XDCAM?
XDCAM, XDCAM HD, XDCAM HD422 or XDCAM EX?

EX3 Resolution is awesome because of its 1/2″CMOS sensor.

Broadcast Standard is 4:2:2-50Mbps and EX3 only 4:2:0-35Mbps.
4:2:2 color reproduction is thick and 4:2:0 is thin.

Have a budget, choose HPX500 : 2/3″ CCD, 4:2:2-100Mbps.

Budget concern? Buy EX3 and add Nano Flash for 4:2:2-100Mbps and up.

Cheers,
