4K 1/3-type 3CMOS Sensor

The PXW-Z190 is the world’s first professional camcorder with a 4K (QFHD) 1/3-inch type sensor. 

Red, blue, and green light are independently captured by separate image sensors 

within the Exmor RTM system in 3840 x 2160 resolution at up to 60fps. 

Even if you’re delivering in HD, 4:2:2 10bit recordings will capture 

detail and image texture that HD sensors simply cannot see.
