New Multi-Purpose Camera Offers Simple and Versatile System Integration Capabilities
Sony Electronics today announced the launch of the HDC-P50A, a compact and lightweight multi-purpose camera with a 2/3-inch 3-chip 4K image sensor that features global shutter function and offers high flexibility in terms of installation.
This camera inherits the features and performance of the existing multi-purpose camera Sony HDC-P50. In addition to SDI outputs from the camera body, it also supports IP transmission[1] using SMPTE ST 2110, which is increasingly adopted in the broadcasting and live production industry. Furthermore, it can be connected to a camera control unit, enabling high frame rate shooting at up to four times in 4K. It also can be equipped with the optional HKC-VND50 variable ND filter unit. With its compact and lightweight design, it can be used in various scenarios such as shooting in hard-to-reach locations, aerial shots from helicopters, and shooting with jibs, cranes or wire support systems.
With its built-in IP transmission, the HDC-P50A joins Sony's ever expanding Networked Live ecosystem. It can be connected to the camera control network adapter CNA-2 to enable centralized monitoring and remote operations.
The HDC-P50A is equipped with the same 2/3-inch 3-chip 4K image sensor and prism as the HDC-3500 and HDC-5500 cameras, delivering the same color reproduction performance. This makes it easy to integrate into existing systems.
We're seeing an increasing demand for high-quality video production in events such as sports and live performances, as well as a growing need for automation and IP compatibility in live production, said Robert Willox, Director of Business Operations, Imaging Solutions, Sony Electronics. With the release of this camera, Sony aims to meet the ever-diversifying needs of the video production industry.
Support for IP Transmission with SMPTE ST 2110
With the optional license HZC-SFP5A, the HDC-P50A can directly output in IP using SMPTE ST 2110. This enables standalone camera compatibility with AMWA NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications).[2] It allows for direct IP output without the need for additional hardware and supports IP Tally, making it an ideal choice for IP-based studios. Additionally, by connecting to the IP camera extension adapter HDCE-TX50 or the camera control units HDCU-5000 and HDCU-5500, the camera delivers IP input/output and high frame rate output[3].
Flexible Functionality and Compact Lightweight Design Enable Versatile Use in Various Scenarios
This camera is compatible with the camera control units HDCU-5000 and HDCU-5500, as well as the IP camera extension adapter HDCE-TX50. The camera control units and IP extension adapter allow for long-distance connections of up to 10km using single-mode fiber. This is ideal for shooting locations that are a long distance from the replay system. When connected to the HDCU-5000 camera control unit, the HDC-P50A enables slow-motion shooting at up to four times speed in 4K and up to eight times speed in HD[4] while maintaining the standard speed output, in both SDR and HDR operations.
The compact and lightweight design offers high flexibility in installation, making it suitable for shooting in hard-to-reach or elevated locations. It can be used for simple shooting with a remote pan-tilt unit, as well as capturing various angles in sports and live events, among other scenes.
High Interoperability with the HDC-5000 and HDC-3000 Series
The HDC-P50A is equipped with the same 2/3-inch 3-chip 4K image sensor and prism as the multi-format HDC-5500 and HDC-3500 system cameras, covering a wide color gamut including BT.2020 and S-Gamut3. It allows for easy color matching when added to existing camera systems.
The HDC-P50A will be shown on the Sony stand in the Elicium Center at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam. Further information about Networked Live solutions can be found here.
[1] The optional license HZC-SFP5A is required.
[2] IP-based interoperability standard between devices from different vendors.
[3] When combined with the HDCE-TX50, the HZCE-DIR50 direct mode software is required. When combined with the HDCU-5000 and HDCU-5500, the ST 2110 interface kit HKCU-SFP50 is required (all previously released). The IP output is capable of up to six times HD at 1080P resolution.
[4] When producing at four times speed in HD, the HZC-HFR50 HFR camera software and either the HDCU-5000 or HDCU-5500 are required. When shooting at four times speed in 4K, the HDCU-5000 equipped with the HKCU-UHF50 4K four times speed processor board is required. Four times 4K production also requires the HZC-HFR50 and HZC-UHD50 camera software (all previously released).
