IDX Links Its Lithium Ion Batteries to Sony PMW-EX3 XD-CAM Camcorder and PMW-EX30 Deck

 

Torrance, CA, May 27, 2009 - Users of the Sony PMW-EX3 camcorder can now use Lithium Ion battery engineering from IDX System Technology, Inc. The company announced today the availability of a new V-Mount adapter, Model A-E2EX3, specifically engineered to interconnect IDX’s award-winning batteries to the popular camera. It also supports the matching PMW-EX30 recording deck.

 

By using the new backbone, PMW-EX3 camcorder videographers can take advantage of powerful IDX battery features including high watt-hour capacity, long shooting times, low weight and long life cycles. IDX’ lightweight E-7S battery is especially compatible with the PMW-EX3, providing excellent weight balance to the camera and providing up to five hours of battery life. Installation and setup are user-friendly: a feature of all IDX battery adapters. The adapter’s D-Tap feature enables use of powerful on-board accessories such as IDX’ X5-Lite, which offers the equivalent of a 50W halogen light.

 

In addition, the same adapter transforms Sony’s companion PMW-EX30 recording deck into a portable battery-powered unit for viewing video on site, dubbing to other formats and feeding data to nonlinear editing systems.

 

IDX has V-Mount adapters for many ENG/EFP cameras and camcorders from leading manufacturers such as Canon, JVC and Panasonic. IDX engineers also design custom adapters for virtually any specialized application.

 

MSRP for the IDX A-E2EX3 V-Mount adapter is $179.00, and is available now from IDX dealers across North and South America.
