Sony is bringing expanded dynamic range and low light capabilites to its pro-grade 4K video cameras. Announced on April 16, the Sony R series is a set of five 4K studio and broadcast cameras equipped with three-chip 4K 2/3-inch sensors and global shutters.
Ahead of the NAB Show in Las Vegas, Sony unveiled the HDC-5500R, HDC-5500RV, HDC-3500R, HDC-3500RV, and HDC-3200R. All five cameras use Sony’s three-chip sensors, which separate red, green, and blue onto their own sensors. That’s paired with a global shutter to minimize rolling shutter distortion.
