The HDC-F5500 is the main studio camera. It works with existing HDC systems. This makes upgrading easier for broadcasters. They can use their current equipment. The camera uses a new 2/3-inch 4K image sensor. This sensor improves picture quality. Colors look more natural. Detail is sharper.

Sony included advanced features. The cameras support high dynamic range (HDR). HDR makes bright parts brighter and dark parts darker. This creates a more lifelike image. Wide color gamut (WDR) is also supported. Colors appear richer and more accurate.

Workflow gets simpler. The cameras use Sony’s IP extension adapters. This allows flexible cable connections. Operators can place cameras farther from the control room. Setup times are potentially shorter. The cameras support common IP standards. This helps integration into many broadcast facilities.

Audio quality is important. The cameras have four-channel audio. They accept digital and analog audio inputs. This flexibility suits different production needs. Clear sound is essential for live broadcasts.

The HDC-P50 is a portable version. It shares core features with the F5500. It offers a smaller, lighter option. This is useful for outside broadcasts or tight spaces. Both cameras are built for demanding environments. Reliability is key for live TV.
