Sony HXR-NX800 4K 1" CMOS Sensor NXCAM Camcorder

Creators who require swift autofocusing, auto-framing, and efficient content sharing while on the move may consider the Sony HXR-NX800 4K 1" CMOS Sensor NXCAM Camcorder. Designed for enhanced portability, this professional-grade camcorder is equipped with a 1"-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor that supports up to UHD 4K resolution. It features AI-driven autofocus and auto-framing capabilities, a variable electronic ND filter, BIONZ XR processing, and color matching compatible with Sony Cinema Line cameras. Additionally, it offers an extended 20x optical zoom and includes built-in dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi along with Ethernet connectivity for direct streaming through RTMP/RTMPS, SRT protocols, and FTP options. The Sony Monitor & Control app allows users to monitor their recordings via a smartphone or tablet.

1" Exmor RS CMOS Sensor

The 1.0"-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor of the HXR-NX800 employs a stacked architecture to deliver superior image quality, enhanced readout speeds, and remarkable performance in low-light conditions. It generates exceptional 4K visuals through 5K oversampling with complete pixel readout.

Longer 20x Optical Zoom

Achieve a variety of perspectives, from detailed close-ups to expansive wide-angle shots, within confined spaces by utilizing the 20x G-series zoom, which corresponds to a 35mm full-frame range of 24-480mm. Activate the Clear Image Zoom feature to extend the zoom capabilities to 30x in 4K resolution and 40x in HD.

BIONZ XR Processing

The newest BIONZ XR TM image processor facilitates enhanced frame rates, accelerated autofocus, refined ATW control, and superior noise reduction. By maximizing the capabilities of the high-resolution image sensor, it allows for the capture of intricate textures and minute details. The 5K oversampling with full-pixel readout compresses a wealth of image data into breathtaking UHD 4K60 video.

Advanced AI-Assisted Autofocus

The HXR-NX800 utilizes AI-driven deep learning technology to deliver accurate recognition of human subjects. Its Fast Hybrid autofocus system, boasting an 81% coverage, enhances the effectiveness of both Subject Recognition AF and Real-Time Tracking. Rely on Sony's cutting-edge innovations to help you create exceptional content. Our sophisticated AI Processing Unit is capable of identifying human subjects, while the Fast Hybrid AF system ensures continuous precise focus on your subject. Additionally, the Electronic Variable ND Filter allows for optimal exposure across various lighting scenarios, or you can utilize the Auto ND function for automatic adjustment of exposure settings.

Auto Framing

The Auto Framing feature allows for effective monitoring of your subjects by automatically detecting human figures and adjusting the framing to keep the subject centered. This capability is especially advantageous for solo operators, as it simulates the experience of manual capture while enabling interaction with the subject. When Auto Framing is activated, the camera will track a recognized human subject and modify the framing to ensure that the subject remains prominently featured. The resulting footage can give the impression that a human operator was manually adjusting the framing throughout the shoot, despite the camera being stationary. This allows solo operators to focus on engaging with an interviewee without the need to constantly monitor camera positioning.

Flexible Frame Rates

The Exmor RS sensor's rapid readout capability facilitates 4K high frame rate (HFR) recording at rates of up to 120 frames per second and full HD at 240 frames per second. This allows for the achievement of 4x slow motion in 4K at 30p or 5x slow motion at 24p. Regardless of your creative preferences, the high-speed autofocus ensures that your subject remains sharply in focus. Additionally, Slow & Quick Motion recording is available for up to 4K at 120fps and FHD at 240fps.

Pro Broadcast and Film Looks

The presets for S-Cinetone, ITU709, 709tone, HLG Live, HLG Mild, and HLG Natural can be further refined through adjustments to black levels, matrix settings, and other parameters. Additionally, the content captured by the HXR-NX800 can be color-matched with footage from other Sony broadcast and Cinema Line cameras.

Easy File Transfers

The HXR-NX800 enables users to upload both proxy and original clips directly from a memory card to a cloud or FTP server. Files can be transferred automatically upon the cessation of each recording, provided that the destination server has been registered within the camera. Additionally, it is possible to record proxy clips in segments and transfer them in sequence while recording. The optional Creator's Cloud for Enterprise C3 Portal application, available for purchase, facilitates cloud transfers, ensuring faster access to video files for editing and sharing purposes.

Advanced Image Stabilization

Reduce the impact of camera shake through integrated image stabilization. Ensure that your footage remains smooth and stable with Active Mode image stabilization, which combines optical and electronic stabilization to create seamless handheld shots. The built-in image stabilization effectively diminishes camera shake, providing you with the smoothest possible footage. Active Mode stabilization leverages both optical and electronic components to make your handheld recordings appear as if they were captured using a gimbal.

Recording Options

The availability of various recording options allows you to select the most suitable solution for each project you undertake. Opt for XAVC S-I to achieve the highest quality with post-production-friendly 10-bit 4:2:2 4K (QFHD) recording utilizing Intra-Frame H.264. Alternatively, XAVC HS-L (H.265) and XAVC S-L (H.264) offer options for 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 with Long GOP recording, facilitating longer recording durations and enhanced file-saving efficiency. Additionally, XAVC HS permits the recording of smaller proxy files (up to 16 Mbps) for efficient previewing and editing.

4-Channel Audio

Integrate the MI (multi-interface) shoe with XLR connectors to facilitate the recording of up to four audio channels. The audio dials enable swift adjustments of levels for two channels, eliminating the need to navigate through a menu tree.
