The Sony HDC-P50A is a compact and highly versatile 4K/HD HFR-compatible POV (Point of View) system camera, combining a 3-chip 2/3" 4K CMOS sensor for extremely high picture quality with the flexibility of SDI and IP output options to suit a wide range of live production environments. It integrates smoothly in SDI production infrastructure; its flexibility is further increased by the addition of a direct IP output for incorporation in ST 2110 productions.
Used standalone or as part of a multi-camera setup, the HDC-P50A can be crane-mounted or operated in a fixed camera position. It's also ideal for a wide range of other shooting situations, such as in combination with a camera stabilizer, in handheld mode, during wireless shooting, or while filming aerial footage from a helicopter.
The HDC-P50A incorporates a 3-chip 2/3" 4K CMOS sensor optical block with global shutter technology that delivers exquisite picture quality. This high-performance sensor is combined with a specially developed Digital Signal Processing Circuit, achieving very high sensitivity and extremely low noise levels to suit a wide range of shooting scenarios.
Dual optical filter wheels for Neutral Density (ND) and Color Correction (CC) open up even wider creative possibilities, with the ability to control both filters from a remote control panel or master setup unit. Since the variable ND filter can be adjusted seamlessly during operation, the HDC-P50A is ideal for integration with crane-mounted or wirecam systems, allowing control over exposure without affecting depth of field as the camera moves in changing lighting conditions, such as at a sports stadium.
The HDC-P50A packs impressive imaging performance into a light, compact camera body that's ideal for use in space-limited situations such as housing, helicopter camera mounts, or operated as a fixed camera position. Low power consumption is complemented by minimal operating noise levels.
