World’s first 4K system camera with three authentic 4K image sensors

The new HDC-4300 is the world’s first camera to use three 2/3-inch 4K image sensors. It provides the ability to use the high magnification wide zoom range lenses currently employed by HD 2/3-inch systems while maintaining an adequate depth of field to accurately show all the action during live event broadcasting.

Not the most exiting start to NAB, Sony have cameras for everyone and this shallow NAB presentation proves it. Why invent a 4K system camera when most broadcasters are still using HD system cameras and down converting their output to SD ? With sparse HD transmission in the UK I feel there is little need for 4K in this field…yet !

Catalyst Edit…Another first for Sony, is the bell toiling for Vegas or are Sony hoping to take FCPX, AVID and Adobe head on, this must be the strangest progression of the Catalyst branding yet, unless as it has been pointed out you are stuck with Adobe’s CS6 and you own a PXW-X70, Catalyst Edit might just be a saviour !
