Features
Sensitive 2/3‑inch 4K CMOS imager with global shutter inch 4K CMOS imager
with global shutter The high-performance 2/3‑inch 4K CMOS image sensor at the
heart of the HDC-3200 achieves extremely high sensitivity with an impressive
signal-to-noise ratio. Sony’s class-leading Global Shutter Technology
eliminates the ‘jello effect’ and banding noise, allowing the HDC-3200 to
capture stable, precise 4K (UHD) images even with fast-moving subjects.
Whether you’re shooting in news studios with LED walls or live entertainment
venues, viewers will appreciate premium pictures with exquisite 4K detail and
high dynamic range, with support for the ITU-R BT.2020 wide color space.
Quick conversion from handheld to large lens operation
Compatibility with Sony’s new HDLA-3505 and HDLA 3501 large lens adaptors
gives even more flexibility in live production environments. Unlike
traditional ‘build-up’ kits, the adaptor allows fast one-touch mounting of the
camera head without the need for time-consuming wiring and adjustments. As a
further time-saving feature, the HDC-3200 can be undocked from the adaptor
without needing to remove the lens.
Bigger returns from your production assets
Sharing familiar ergonomics and operating workflow with Sony’s acclaimed HDC
camera family, the HDC-3200 is compatible with a wide range of camera system
accessories including viewfinders, large lens adaptors, and camera control
units. You’ll benefit with reduced training requirements and optimized use of
your existing hardware inventory.
Easy in-CCU recording
Add the optional HKCU-REC55 to the HDCU-3500 Camera Control Unit and record 4K
video and audio directly to the CCU, with no other external recording device
needed. Recording can be controlled remotely from the CCU side, allowing the
camera operator to focus on capturing beautiful images without distractions.
Ready for IP Live
The HDC-3200 is a versatile, highly cost-effective partner for today’s IP Live
production workflows. The camera can be integrated seamlessly into your ST
2110 production
infrastructure, either via the HDCU-3500/3100 CCU with IP interface option, or
using HDCE-TX50/TX30 camera extension adaptor.
Simultaneous HDR and SDR production
The HDC-3200 supports Sony’s acclaimed SR Live workflow, reducing the cost and
complexity of simultaneous HDR and SDR program production by a single crew.
