A New Benchmark in Live Production Agility

The Sony HDC-3500 is a premium 2/3-inch 4K 3-CMOS portable system camera engineered to bring unmatched creative flexibility and portability to live broadcasting. Utilizing an advanced LSI digital signal processor, it fully realizes the light-gathering capability of its triple-sensor block to reproduce vibrant colors across the wide ITU-R BT.2020 color space. Built to transition seamlessly into current studios, it maintains backward compatibility with Sony’s acclaimed HDC-2000 series live infrastructures.

Masterful Shading and Creative Control

Nailing the perfect on-air look under varying venue illumination is made simple through fine-tuned tonal utilities. Low-key Saturation logic guarantees rich, vibrant hues remain intact inside deeply shadowed stage areas, while powerful gamma adjustments grant precision control over contrast and detail. For operators on the move, an integrated Network TRUNK interface routes high-speed data at up to 1 Gbps through the main camera fiber link, keeping peripheral data piping completely transparent.

Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Body with Elite Ergonomics

Constructed to excel under grueling handheld and field operations, the HDC-3500 combines exceptional chassis structural strength with minimum physical weight. The lightweight magnesium alloy housing is reinforced by Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) outer panels. Its low center of gravity, highly adjustable shoulder pad, and widened handgrip area drastically lower operator fatigue when shooting handheld or mounted on Steadicam rigs.

The Reliable Standard for Regional Media Control Rooms

The Sony HDC-3500 stands as the premier high-efficiency system camera across Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa, trusted by leading production houses and sports networks for elite broadcast reliability. When configured with the optional HDCE-TX30 IP camera extension adapter, the camera outputs native SMPTE ST 2110 video streams directly into remote production environments without requiring a standalone CCU. For media houses demanding multi-format flexibility with a reduced field inventory, the HDC-3500 is the ultimate industry benchmark.
