The prototype of the Sony’s EX3 3D camcorder has emerged and come with a promise that a commercial version to be on its way. This Sony 3D camcorder has two lenses and packs six CMOS chips – three for each lens. The two lenses and guts are basically taken from two Sony PMW-EX3 studio cameras, and packed into a single shell for this EX3 3D prototype; which each has the capability of recording 35Mbps 1080p 4:2:0 MPEG-2 video.
It’s also said that each lens has the capability of streaming 4:2:0 MPEG-2 video at 1080p to SxS memory cards at 35Mbps; or sending uncompressed 4:4:4 footage over a new pair of HD-SDI outputs. The distance between the two lenses is also impressive – at about an industry-first 1.5-inch interocular distance.
No word about the actual release date and pricing. A Sony PMW-EX3 will cost you about $9,999 on its own. The Sony EX3 3D camcorder packs two PMW-EX3 cams, so it isn’t hard to imagine how expensive this 3D camcorder would be.
