HDC-P50A

The HDC-P50A is a compact and highly versatile 4K/HD HFR-compatible POV (Point of View) system camera, combining a 3-chip 2/3-inch 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.

Exceptional live production versatility

Providing extremely high-quality images for 4K*1/HD HDR and 4K*1/HD HFR*2 production workflows, the HDC-P50A is a Point of View (POV) system camera that’s ideal for sport and other live applications. Integrating smoothly in SDI production infrastructure, its flexibility is further increased by the addition of a direct IP output for incorporation in ST 2110 productions*3.

3-chip 2/3-type CMOS Sensor with Global Shutter

The HDC-P50A incorporates a 3-chip 2/3-inch 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.

Wide colour space and dynamic range

The advanced optical system of the HDC-P50A supports the ITU-R BT.2020 color gamut, enabling exceptionally wide, precise color reproduction in live broadcasts. From sports to concerts and special events, you’ll see the difference with vibrant, true-to-life images that make viewers feel as if they’re really there. HDR operation is available for 4K*1 and HD simultaneous live operation.

Direct IP output

In addition to its conventional SDI output, the HDC-P50A can also output HD or 4K*1 pictures via IP (ST 2110)*3 for integration with today’s IP-based production infrastructures. The camera’s direct IP output allows connection to a Camera Control Unit (CCU) to enable long-distance transmission over single-mode fiber.*3

HFR output up to 4K 4x/HD 8x

The HDC-P50A can output High Frame Rate images in HD*2 at up to 8x when connected to a Camera Control Unit via SDI or IP. It can also output 4K*1 at up to 4x HFR*2 when connected to a CCU via SDI.*4

Light, compact and energy efficient

It packs impressive imaging performance into a light, compact camera body that’s ideal for use in space-limited situations. Low power consumption* is complemented by minimal operating noise levels.

* The HDC-P50A is powered by local power supply only.

Adaptable, variable ND filter 

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.

Seamless integration into Sony live production workflows

The HDC-P50A joins Sony’s acclaimed HDC Series family of live production solutions. Integrating seamlessly with existing HD infrastructures including lenses, remote control panels and other accessories, it gives ambitious program makers exciting new possibilities for creating HD, 4K*1 HDR and HD HFR*2 productions. Production flexibility is broadened further still by smooth integration with third-party control systems.
