How to get 4:2:2 Quality H.D. Production with your Sony EX-3 camera

Can you really get better signal quality with a Sony camera that sells for less than $10,000.00, better signal quality than a Sony F-900 HD-CAM camcorder while saving money on Sony camera cards? Yes you can if you’re welling to go HD-SDI cable out of the E3X-3 and be tethered to a computer that records the signal to hard drive. The positive results are better quality images, longer recording time and no need to transfer from the Sony camera cards. The negative factors, being tied by cable to a computer and adding additional gear to the production chain.  

The new Sony  EX-3 has excellent half inch chips, and you can put quality glass on the front end, by using an adaptor you can install Zeiss primes. It doesn’t get better than Zeiss lens.  The combination of excellent lens, recording to hard drive with the Sony EX-3 will give your production an incredible picture for far less money than many cameras costing thousands more. Try putting the computer on cart to increase your mobility.
