Sony His latest Camcorder NXCAM, the HXR-NX5R, which replaces the popular NX5 and NX3 solutions to offer network functions and higher capture performance, has presented today in Birtv 2016. The great quality color images and the high sensitivity are possible thanks to the three exmor Full HD sensors of type 1/2.8 ″ and the 40X crisp image zoom, which allows to double the optical zoom without losing image quality, in addition to multiformat recording to satisfy a wide variety of applications and recording environments such as live events, including weddings or corporate productions.

The latest updates made from the NX3 and NX5 models also include a 3G-SDI terminal that supports Full HD output to 60p. The HXR-NX5R also includes the first LED video torch with adjustable brightness to minimize the need for external lighting equipment. In addition, this advanced technology uses a digital signal processor (DSP), advanced noise reduction and extraordinary details to offer images that are extraordinarily realistic in regard to texture and level of detail. A direct menu and a precise joystick have also been added to increase the ease of use.

The HXR-NX5R, which will be exhibited in IBC 2016, provides content creators of the new improved network functions, which include FTP and live transmission, with built-in Wi-Fi, as well as the possibility of recording simultaneous backup copies through two SD card slots that increase reliability and adaptability in the most difficult live events.

The new remote control can also be connected to the new MCX-500 to control the camera directly from the mixer, and is compatible with the new HXR-NX5R and PXW-FS7 V4.0. Its compatibility with other Sony camcorders is scheduled soon.

The new MCX-500 is a mixer system all in one ideal for live events or corporate productions, which is designed to work with the NX5R and the RM-30BP for multicamramed operations. The MCX-500 sends TALLY PGM/PVW signals to each HXR-NX5R. This function allows the operator to know which camera has been selected for the directs, allowing content creators to accept orders for those who would have needed assistants or a larger team.
