Digital Video Product Spotlight: The Sony EX1 Guidebook


The new Sony PMW-EX1 owner, I was jazzed to get my copy of Call Box Live Guide EX1, in-depth look at the first mass-market Sony CineAlta ™ HD camera. For independent film making, this camera is causing a little stir. One reason may be that the CineAlta ™ is the same technology found in Sony movie camera line, including 250K F35. With multiple frame rate, full 1920 x 1080 24p acquisition mode and HD-SDI output, Sony apparently was looking at putting a dent in the dominance of the Panasonic part of the market, and the camera is really loaded with features beyond comparison in the price range. noise remains at NAB 2008, when Sony announced a new sister to EX1 EX3, which sports some additional innovations, and has interchangeable lenses.

Guide was created and is host Noah Kadner, one of the original admins via the 2-pop.com.

the final part of the DVD covers post-production, particularly relating to the editing in Apple Final Cut Pro. Do not be confused, the camera integrates with pretty much every major NLE on both Mac and PC, including Avid, Adobe Premier Pro and Sony Vegas (of course). However, because FCP admirer, Kadner gives us some clear insights into working with this software. Topics covered include introduction of tapeless recording the flow of EX1 and cutting in Final Cut Pro, and the SxS card management. He takes us through some basics of equipment to set up Final Cut editing workstations, data archiving solutions, ingestion, (no more digitizing!) and using FCP is a simple setup for XDCAM EX. It also provides information about FCP is an open format Deadline for mixing different camera resolutions in a row, export opportunities and information about the output on the DVD, the Internet, the Final Cut Studio color correction software, color, and even preparing for output to 35mm film recorder. If I have any criticism of the program to the last section of the post. Not because the information is not useful, it is, but the subject is so profound that it could fill several DVDs. In fact, the call box is a whole DVD dedicated to special color.

Call Box Guide EX1 is informative and enjoyable instructional DVD on this powerful new Sony HD cameras and Noah Kadner experience and easy going in a way that is fun to watch. Being a visual learner myself, I was able to understand some complex cases much faster than slogging through the typically dry the user's manual. The DVD is well organized, easily navigable, and provides in-depth instructions that will allow shooters desire to be creative and productive. If you're going to be working with the EX1, it would be to your advantage to check it out.
