Ultimate Creative Control for Live Broadcasting

The Sony HDC-5500RV is an elite, multi-format broadcast system camera engineered to expand creative horizons in live television. By combining a classic 2/3-inch broadcast infrastructure with a state-of-the-art 3-CMOS 4K optical block, it delivers pristine image fidelity with standard B4-mount lenses. Designed for simultaneous HDR and SDR workflows via Sony’s SR Live system, this portable camera handles the absolute most demanding lighting conditions found in modern arenas and premium entertainment stages.

Next-Generation Exposure and Optical Shading

Featuring a pre-installed optical variable ND filter, the HDC-5500RV eliminates physical filter changes entirely. Shading engineers can execute flawless exposure adjustments mid-broadcast without any visual disruption. For environments dominated by large-scale venue displays, the integrated EXTRA OLPF (Optical Low Pass Filter) neutralizes digital moiré artifacts, while the BLACK MIST layer diffuses highlights to add a dramatic, cinematic character directly to the live feed.

Intelligent Data Routing and Remote Production

In complex Outside Broadcast (OB) van and studio configurations, the HDC-5500RV reduces physical cabling overhead through its advanced trunking capabilities. It routes high-speed data, prompter feeds, and external video returns through existing infrastructure with minimal latency. For multi-market sports events, its Parallel Ads® technology enables the camera to split a single physical stadium banner into four separate targeted sponsor streams simultaneously.

The Elite Core of Regional Live Media

The Sony HDC-5500RV stands as the ultimate production asset across Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa, where live sports broadcasting and high-profile entertainment demand uncompromising stability. When combined with the optional HDCE-TX50 IP extension adapter, it outputs native SMPTE ST 2110 and visually lossless JPEG XS signals directly from the head, bypassing the CCU entirely for streamlined remote production over regional IP fiber. For premium broadcasters looking to scale up their live workflow efficiencies, the HDC-5500RV is the definitive standard.
