Sony HDC4300L 4K/HD HFR Live Production Camera

Flexibility to build the system that works for you
The HDC-4300 system camera with real 4K imagers seamlessly integrates with HD infrastructures and accessories and the world's most advanced 4K live production workflows. Software option upgrades for amazing 8x HD super slow motion and to add 4K image capture to standard HD outputs give you great flexibility to create the live production system you need. Both permanent and pay-per-use software options are available.

World's first three 2/3-inch 4K imagers for 4K and HD multi-platform output
The HDC-4300 delivers superb 4K images thanks to its three 2/3-inch 4K imagers with Sony's latest designed optical system, supporting ITU-R BT.2020 and providing a wide color gamut. The HDC-4300 delivers true-to-life images that make the audience feel as if they are actually there.

Direct installation of B4-mount lenses
Thanks to the 2/3-inch camera mount, the HDC-4300 works directly with B4 lenses. The B4-mount supports both HD and 4K lenses, allowing you to use B4-mount high power large lenses to capture sports scenes with a deep depth of field.

HD 8x super slow motion
The HDC-4300 captures 1920x1080 high definition images up to 3x super slow motion as standard and up to 8x super slow motion with an optional software upgrade. This provides an amazing maximum frame rate of 479.52 fps (60Hz) or 400 fps (50Hz), allowing you to create sensational super slow motion sequences of key moments in a game or event, offering audiences unprecedented views of subtle body movements, muscle actions and spray of sweat that could not be normally seen by viewers.

Smooth and easy migration from HD to 4K
The HDC-4300 is designed to fit into the growing Sony 4K live production environment alongside the PMW-F55 and F65 live camera configurations. With an optional software upgrade, the HDC-4300 enables 4K capture for multiple 4K and HD outputs, working directly with the BPU-4000 baseband processor unit and the HDCU-2000 or HDCU-2500 camera control units.

Seamless integration into Sony HD workflows
The HDC-4300 is part of Sony's acclaimed and widely adopted HDC Series family of live production solutions and benefits from direct compatibility with its wide range of accessories, including viewfinders, large lens adaptors, remote control panels and camera control units.

Advanced 4K/HD live production workflows based on the HDC-4300
The HDC-4300 forms a new 4K live camera system in combination with the BPU- 4000 baseband processor unit and the HDCU-2000 or HDCU-2500 camera control unit. This enables the camera to be controlled and powered through a standard SMPTE fiber cable. Real-time fine adjustment of image factors and other camera settings can also be controlled by Sony's RCP-1000 Series remote control panels or MSU-1000 Series master setup units. By simply adding this system to an existing HDC-2000 Series camera system, you can achieve multi-source operation.

HD signals from the HDC-2000 Series cameras and from the HDC-4300 can be adjusted to match colorimetry. With the 4K optional software for the HDC-4300, the camera system can process multiple outputs of HD and 4K. The camera system also works seamlessly with the PMW-F55 and F65 live camera configurations (PMW-F55, CA-4000; and F65, SKC-4065, CA-4000).

As a next step, further key products in the 4K live production workflow include the PWS-4400 4K/HD multi-port AV storage unit, which enables HD and 4K recording and super slow motion capture and replay, the MVS-8000X and MVS-7000X multi-format switchers, capable of real-time 4K signal processing and the BVM-X300 4K OLED master monitor and the PVM-x300 4K LCD picture monitor for the highest 4K monitoring performance. With the latest technologies from Sony, you can choose a complete 4K live production solution, ideal for pure 4K live production or you can be assured of a smooth and easy migration from HD to 4K production simply by extending the capabilities of existing HD systems. Both routes enable delivery of spectacular 4K imagery to audiences worldwide.
