The PXW-Z280 supports multiple recording formats including XAVC Intra/Long for 4K QFHD and HD, as well as MPEG HD422, MPEG HD and DVCAM.

The PXW-Z280 is also equipped with 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, so you can simply connect to your preferred network to enable a host of advanced wireless features.

If the connection is interrupted, the file transfers will automatically resume upon reconnection.
