The new camera's flexibility enables it to be mounted on a crane or in a helicopter, used as a studio sub-camera or weather camera, or installed in nearly any location within a venue such as stadiums, conference room, houses of worship, or schools.

The HDC-X300 features a range of scanning modes, including 59.94i, 50i, 29.97psf, 25psf and 23.976psf, with 2-3 pulldown.
