There is increasing demand for virtual studios with many popping up at existing TV facilities such as Dock10, which services U.K. The $4,000 model is comparable to BMD’s PCC range and can record 4K at 120fps (or HD 240fps) for documentary work.

“The FX3 demonstrates the goal for Sony to create tools for content creators in all budgets and size requirements,” the company said when it launched the camera in February. Perhaps that’s why Sony chooses to flag the newest camera in its cine range for this article rather than a traditional broadcast imager. “Similarly, the ability to support a cinema workflow with studio camera technology allows for multicamera productions by using the lenses of broadcast cameras and undergoing the same post-process for cinema production,” Bergeron adds. “From a broadcast perspective, the ability to purchase an affordable camera today that can easily be upgraded to 4K in the future is allowing studios to enhance their workflows and offer more productions-in 4K and HDR-while having a camera that meets their immediate needs and can evolve with them.
BROADCAST IP CAM 1080P
“Shifting from a ‘nice to have’ to a prerequisite for quality broadcasts, the ability to shoot in 1080p and 4K are the impetus behind new production formats,” says Michael Bergeron, senior product manager, Live Production Systems, Panasonic. This includes requirements for HDR and Wide Color Gamut productions in 1080p as well as UHD. The continuing move toward 4K production while not yet abandoning HD is the other main trend. “We’ve missed the opportunity to interact with customers and partners on a wide scale,” Kajita concurred. We eagerly look forward to the return of traditional trade shows, hopefully in the fall.”īy far the bigger impact has been on the customer engagement side. “The ability to try cameras in person is a critical part of customers’ buying process. “‘Virtual’ shows have been limited in their ability overall but have been even less effective for product categories such as cameras where ‘seeing is believing,’” says Humphrey.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing as the lack of physical shows on the calendar has reduced the industry’s traditional pressure to announce new products, often before they’re ready to ship. The absence of the usual trade show cycle is not thought to have inhibited R&D but it’s equally apparent that there have been fewer significant innovations introduced in this period. “The impact on our innovation has been limited as our roadmaps reflect customer priorities-new HFR capabilities as well as IP-based and distributed workflow options were brought in during the pandemic.”

“We also saw higher demand for smaller, streaming-capable palm-type cameras for streaming live events in the corporate and private sector,” said Hiroshi Kajita, head of media solutions, Sony Professional Solutions Europe. Sony says the impact of its camera sales for non-scripted media and news was also low as consumer demand for news skyrocketed. These customers also benefit from the advantages of system cameras for their multicamera live events.”
BROADCAST IP CAM UPGRADE
“For example, the need to adopt or improve online streaming production has led many educational institutions and houses of worship to upgrade kit.
