tampering or processing will flag up an issue while allowing authorised editing and post-processing. (This requires support from third-party vendors, but is likely to be available later in 2025). Modern news workflows are both highly evolved and geared for speed. By increasingly making use of camera-to-cloud techniques, it is now possible to edit and package news footage within minutes of arriving. The PXW-Z300 supports ‘chunk file upload’ – a method of storing video where it is automatically split into small parts and then uploaded as soon as it is written to storage. This can arrive on a remote editor’s timeline even while the camera is still shooting. The PXW-Z300 can connect to remote production facilities in multiple ways, including high-res file
transfer and proxy file transfer. It encodes to a wide range of formats, including the bandwidth-friendly HEVC (H.265). The extremely high- quality images from the camera’s 3-chip sensor mean that, even at low bit rates, some proxy formats can be used for production if there isn’t the bandwidth or time available to upload the full-quality version. It’s ready for integration with Sony C3 Portal, Ci Media Cloud and Media Backbone Hive for newsroom production, and can interface with virtually any current or future cloud-
available for conventional editorial verification. It enables secure, verified and tamper-proof real-time delivery of video content in an era when authenticity is no longer taken for granted. The camera provides a trusted ‘chain of truth’ in speedy, efficient workflows. As the front
end of a secure end-to-end ecosystem, it will help give
newsrooms the confidence to air material sooner, knowing that their content is genuine and authentic.
