4K 4X HFR CAPABILITY 

When used with HDCU-5000, the HDC-5000 Series supports the 4K 4x HFR option. Users can replay slow motion in 4K 4x*. HDC-5500V also supports parallel advertisements by simultaneously capturing 4 different advertisements on LED, which allows broadcasters to reach multiple audiences with tailor-made content at the same time around the globe. Additionally, the 4X parallel advertisements support enables broadcasters to engage with different sponsors simultaneously.

PRE-INSTALLED VF SLIDE MECHANISM

With the pre-installed viewfinder slide mechanism, camera operators can achieve improved functionality by minimising their body movements during panning. This feature is especially useful in cramped spaces like tracked dollys, stadium platforms, and scaffolding, where limited mobility can hinder the desired shots.

The pre-installed slide mechanism enhances shooting flexibility and usability, with a smoothly-sliding viewfinder that can be moved closer to the axis of tripod rotation to reduce changes in the viewing angle, making it perfect for various shooting environments.

SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR IP REMOTE PRODUCTION

Adding the optional HDCE-TX50 IP camera extension adaptor allows the HDC-5500V to output ST 2110 signals directly without requiring a separate CCU (camera control unit), simplifying connection to an IP-based remote production system and supporting JPEG XS capability.

Disclaimer: 4K 4x HFR is not available on IP.

RECORDING AND REAL TIME NETWORK TRANSFER

With the recording option HKCU-REC55, the HDCU-5500 can record the live feed inside CCU. The file can be transferred to USB SSD or network storage in real-time while recording is still in progress.
