The importance of power supply in portable equipment markets is continually growing. Demands for smaller
size, reduced mass, and extra power are profoundly impacting laptop computer, cellular phone and other
mobile markets. Yet power supply needs are incomparably higher in broadcast and professional video
applications where environment is a key operational concern.
Sony has an unparalleled track record in the professional video industry, producing an appropriate line of
video production equipment according to increasing demands from frontline professionals. Sony power
supply systems are designed to answer the essential demands of professional users, providing full functionality
and cutting-edge features.
