Multi-Format Versatility for Modern Broadcasting

The Sony HDC-5500V is an industry-defining 2/3-inch 4K 3-CMOS portable system camera engineered for highly dynamic live environments. Built to bridge the requirements of simultaneous HDR and SDR workflows, this versatile powerhouse offers direct 4K output alongside support for advanced digital triax or wireless field setups. Whether mounted to a heavy studio pedestal or rigged as a wireless roving shoulder camera, it delivers unmatched clarity and color science for the modern control room.

Engineered for Flawless Virtual and Live Production

With the surge of LED display backgrounds in both live sports and virtual studio environments, the HDC-5500V uses its native Global Shutter to provide an artifact-free canvas. Operators are completely protected against flash bands and scan-line synchronization issues. Coupled with the pre-installed Viewfinder Slide Mechanism, operators can slide the VF closer to the axis of tripod rotation, dramatically reducing viewing angle discrepancies during sudden panning movements in tight stadium platforms.

Intelligent Data Infrastructure and Multi-Market Monetization

The HDC-5500V is built to maximize profitability and streamline physical installation. Its integrated Network TRUNK (RJ-45) interface pipes high-speed data straight through the head, eliminating extraneous control wires on set. For rights-holding sports broadcasters, its Parallel Ads® compatibility allows an event to be monetized multiple times over by delivering region-specific, targeted sponsor feeds to distinct global markets simultaneously from a single camera position.

The Premium Production Benchmark for International Hubs

The Sony HDC-5500V serves as a critical infrastructure asset across Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa, giving regional live venues and mobile OB fleets international-tier capabilities. When configured with the optional HDCE-TX50 IP camera extension adapter, the camera encodes and routes uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110 and ultra-efficient JPEG XS video straight to the network switch without requiring a standalone CCU. For media operations demanding elite reliability and premium tier-1 performance, the HDC-5500V is the ultimate broadcast standard.
