Last week Sony announced the\u00a0HDC-F5500 system camera<\/a>, the latest entry in Sony\u2019s HDC camera series, which boasts a highly sensitive Super 35mm, 4K CMOS global shutter image sensor that enables shallow depth of field.\u00a0 The new multi-format addition builds on the success and benefits of the industry-standard HDC lineup and serves as a powerful tool for those in need of creative expression with a cinematic look, in a system camera form factor and workflow.\u00a0 Thanks to the global shutter effect to prevent rolling shutter distortion and flash band, and its high frame rate capability of 120fps, the HDC-F5500 is ideal for sports and live entertainment production. \u00a0The camera\u2019s high sensitivity and low noise also make it suitable for capturing dark scenes, which is especially beneficial for drama productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a strong desire to integrate the \u2018cinematic look\u2019 into sports and entertainment productions to heighten emotions and enable more connected storytelling,\u201d said Theresa Alesso, Pro Division President, Sony Electronics.  \u201cListening to the voice of our customers, we\u2019ve taken our expertise with 35mm cinema cameras and our learnings in industry-leading system cameras and created a new Super 35mm system camera that will match perfectly and easily work alongside our HDC camera series, as well as our portfolio of production solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first for a systemized S35mm system, the HDC-F5500 features a motorized 8-step ND filter\u3000adopted in Sony\u2019s digital motion picture camera VENICE, which can be controlled locally or remotely, for increased operational flexibility.  It also allows for the precise selection of focus depth as well as controlled capture of fast-moving subjects even in bright lighting conditions.  Another highlight of the new system camera is its wide color gamut.  Support for BT.2020, S-Gamut3\/S-Gamut3.cine and HLG enhance creativity and reality and match seamlessly with the color science driving Sony\u2019s most in-demand cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new camera also provides numerous workflow enhancements for more efficient live production.  The HDC-F5500 integrates with Sony\u2019s IP Live production system through the use of the HDCU-5000 series, which supports SMPTE ST 2110 and AMWA NMOS standards.  The HDC-F5500 can utilize the new IP extension adaptor HDCE-TX50<\/a> for remote production or multi-camera flight pack \u201cCCU-Less\u201d operation.  The HDC-F5500 is also compatible with Sony\u2019s existing SR Live for HDR workflow with HLG and S-Log3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the newly developed ARIA (Automatic Restoration of Illumination Attenuation) function, for select supported PL and zoom lenses, calibrates and compensates picture appearance when shooting at a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other features include a new viewfinder slide mechanism compatible with existing large viewfinders that minimizes the camera operator\u2019s body movement while panning and allows for use in tight or challenging environments. The HDC-F5500 also has an ergonomic grip for handheld work, and side tally lamp.  4K\/12G-SDI direct output from the camera facilitates wireless operation and direct recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HDC-F5500 is planned to be available in December 2021.  For more information about this new system camera or Sony\u2019s lineup of HDC cameras, please visit pro.sony<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
