HXR-NX3D1E
NXCAM 3D Compact Camcorder
The HXR-NX3D1E, a Double Full HD 3D Camcorder Offering Professionals a New Level of Flexibility and Workflow Convenience
A Compact 3D Camcorder for Professionals
The HXR-NX3D1E is an extremely compact, ready to shoot 3D camcorder, weighing only approx. 1150g. (w/Hood, w/Battery, w/Microphone, w/XLR adaptor) Until now, shooting 3D movies with a 3D rig involved difficult, time-consuming alignment adjustment for each scene. It was also hard to produce 3D videos with a small budget. With the HXR-NX3D1E, simply adjusting leftright disparity, without spending time adjusting the left and right lenses, is all that's required to shoot 3D footage. Providing a fast simple and, inexpensive way for 3D video production, this new camcorder opens the door to a whole new world of 3D content possibilities. Boasting exceptional flexibility with its compact and lightweight design to enable 3D shooting at camera angles that were never possible before, the HXR-NX3D1E is the ideal sub camera in a 3D production system.
Double "Sony Lens G" and Double "Exmor R" CMOS sensors
Inside the HXR-NX3D1E's compact body there are two separate cameras each featuring a high quality SONY G lens and a highsensitivity, back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor. High-quality, 1920x1080 Full HD left and right images enable recording of incredibly realistic 3D movies.

Optical SteadyShot w/Active Mode and 10x Optical Zoom (34.4-344mm) in 3D
One of the most important considerations during 3D shooting is obtaining stable images to prevent audience discomfort during viewing. The HXR-NX3D1E features the Optical SteadyShot w/Active Mode with 3-way camera shake stabilizing technology that smoothes out up/down, left/right and rolling motion when shooting in 3D. Capturing stable 3D images with minimal shake is possible even for hand-held shooting. When shooting in 3D, the HXR-NX3D1E lets you zoom from 34.4mm to 344mm (35mm equivalent). Frame composition while zooming is also possible just like in 2D shooting.
3D Shooting with Two Parallel Cameras
The HXR-NX3D1E features two parallel lenses mounted 31mm apart. (the inter-axial distance is 31mm) Disparity adjustment can be performed to change the read-out areas of the left and right CMOS sensors so that they are closer together or further apart. This lets you control perceived 3D depth and the proximity of regions of interest to a virtual screen. Disparity adjustment is also possible during shooting using the manual dial. Moving a region of interest closer to the virtual screen enables shooting of comfortable 3D images with the desired feeling of depth.
*When capturing 3D images, the minimum shooting distance is 80cm (at wideangle setting)
inter-axial distance of 31mm
3.5" Xtra Fine LCDTM display (1229K) Providing User-Selectable 2D or Glassless 3D Viewing
The HXR-NX3D1E's glassless 3D LCD lets you preview high-quality 3D images while shooting. Switching between 2D and 3D display is also possible. On top of that, a separate display mode for left or right images, and an L/R composite mix of left and right images are also available for easier confirmation of disparity.

User-Selectable HDMI output format: Frame Packing and Side by Side
Output from the HXR-NX3D1E's HDMI jack to a 3D TV is selectable between Frame Packing with Full HD output of alternate left and right images, and Side by Side with output of horizontally compressed left and right images packed into a single frame. Select the Frame Packing mode for a 3D TV (Sony BRAVIA) and the Side by Side mode for a professional 3D monitor. Connection is also possible via an HDMI-HD-SDI converter to enable compatibility with a wide range of 3D monitors.
Multi-Format Recording (3D 60i/50i/24p & 2D 60p/60i/50p/50i/25p/24p)
Compatible with a wide range of formats, the HXR-NX3D1E enables 1080/60i/ 50i/24p 3D recording and 1080 60p/60i/50p/50i/25p/24p 2D recording.
Large Capacity, Internal 96GB Memory and Memory Stick/SD Multi Card Slot
The HXR-NX3D1E has a 96GB internal memory, enabling extended recording in 3D mode for approximately 7.5 hours. And there's a multi-card card slot that lets you record video images on Memory Sticks and SD Cards. You can also use these convenient recordable media to copy data from the internal memory.
