A new world of exciting applications

Sony multi-purpose cameras are suitable for a wide range of applications

where you need to acquire High Definition or Standard Definition pictures

with maximum creative freedom and operational flexibility.

STUDIO PRODUCTION

Remote cameras are an integral part of today’s automated news studios and other

production environments. Adjustment of pan/tilt/zoom can be controlled via a range of systems.

WILDLIFE AND NATURAL HISTORY

Get nearer to natural subjects in their own habitat and capture images that would be impossible for a human camera operator to obtain.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Mounted in a helicopter, light aircraft or on a crane, a remote camera affords breathtaking aerial views without the weight penalty of a full-sized camera and

operator.

POINT OF VIEW

See the big picture with a clear view of what’s happening in an operating theatre, lecture room, concert hall or sports stadium. As a permanently installed weather-cam, this multi-purpose camera provides broadcast-quality pictures round the clock from a fixed viewpoint.

SPORTS

Positioned behind the goal-mouth or at the track-side, a compact camera offers a perfect close-up view of the action without distracting athletes and judges.

LIVE EVENTS, CONFERENCES AND CORPORATE PRESENTATIONS

More businesses are demanding a high-quality acquisition solution for corporate events and live presentations. Pictures from a remotely controlled camera can be presented to audiences for projection, recording or streaming via the web. Sony multi-purpose cameras are an ideal partner for the Sony AWS-G500 Anycast Station™ Live Content Producer that allows high-clarity HD images to be seamlessly integrated with PC and other sources for big-screen projection.

REALITY PROGRAMMES

Multi-purpose cameras are an integral part of today’s reality programmes, Controlled remotely, they can provide a superb quality close-up view of what’s happening without disturbing contestants.
