HDC-P1 HD Multi-Purpose Camera

The HDC-P1 is a highly compact Point-of-View (POV)-style HD multi-purpose camera based on sophisticated core technologies established through a long-time development of Sony’s flagship HDC Series system cameras.

Sony offers the HDC-P1 as a small box-type POV camera with shooting flexibility from almost anywhere, and also high-quality full-HD pictures as a standalone camera or a system camera that enables seamless integration with pictures from full-size cameras.

The HDC-P1 also enhances the creative flexibility of live production.

You can use it as a robotic camera in a studio automation system or compact 3D camera installed in a 3D camera system.

Compact design with high picture quality

Packed in a highly slim and compact body of only about 86 mm (3 1/2 inches) wide and weighing around 1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz, excluding a lens), the HDC-P1 is equipped with three superb 2/3-inch progressive CCDs and Sony-developed digital processing LSI to bring out high picture quality equivalent to that of reputable HDC Series cameras.

Dual optical servo filters

The HDC-P1 is equipped with Neutral Density (ND) and Color Correction (CC) optical servo filter units, which can be remotely controlled according to lighting condition changes from a remote control panel (RCP) or a master setup unit (MSU).

Master setup unit and remote control panel

You can use the MSU-1000/MSU-1500 Master Setup Unit (MSU) and RCP-1000 Series Remote Control Panel (RCP) developed for Sony’s flagship HDC Series system cameras to adjust HDC-P1 camera parameters.
