A New Benchmark in Broadcast Flexibility

The Sony HDC-5500 is a tier-one 2/3-inch 4K 3-CMOS portable system camera built to bring unprecedented image quality, agility, and modularity to live event production. Equipped with an advanced LSI digital signal processor, it maximizes the immense light-gathering power of its triple-sensor block to deliver gorgeous color fidelity that adheres to the strict ITU-R BT.2020 wide color space standard. Designed to seamlessly fit into current infrastructures, it maintains complete backwards compatibility with Sony's industry-standard HDC-2000 series systems.

Built for Creative Mastery on Modern Sets

Managing low-light environments is made effortless with built-in Low-key Saturation technology, which ensures rich, vibrant colors remain true even in deeply shadowed areas. For operators working in fast-paced live environments, an array of focus assist utilities—such as a dedicated Viewfinder Detail edge sharpener, a specialized Focus Position Meter, and an electronic dual-wheel filter setup for Neutral Density (ND) and Color Correction (CC)—provide absolute control over exposure and focus accuracy mid-broadcast.

Lightweight Design with Elite Ergonomics

Constructed from a highly rugged magnesium alloy body paired with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) exterior panels, the HDC-5500 is engineered for extreme durability without punishing the camera operator. It features an optimized low center of gravity, a widened hand grip area, and a fully adjustable shoulder pad that makes it incredibly comfortable for handheld, Steadicam, or extended roving field operations.

The Definitive Production Tool for Regional Broadcasters

The Sony HDC-5500 serves as a foundational imaging asset for premier television networks, sports stadiums, and OB fleets across Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa. Its high-capacity Network TRUNK interface routes high-speed IP data streams at up to 1 Gbps through the main umbilical link, while the optional HKCU-REC55 system records live video directly within the CCU for real-time file sharing over local NAS storage networks. For regional production companies aiming to future-proof their workflows with true multi-format precision, the HDC-5500 is the ultimate industry standard.
