Sony NAB Show press conference summary

Share

This is the live stream video of the Sony press conference. UPDATE: It’s over now and as expected no E-mount related announcements were made:

Overall very non exciting video related announcements. But this seems to be a common theme for all companies at this years NAB. With very limited and incremental announcements.

Here is some of the stuff shared today by Sony:

1) They confirmed a new VENICE firmware update coming this June (press release from January)
2) Sony announced the new Sony HDC-5500 camcorder (press release here and product page here)
3) Sony CBK-FS7BK ENG Style Build-up Kit for FS7/FS7II (Newsshooter).
4) Below you can see a tweet showing this crazy 16K screen installation.

Watch it live: Sony press event on April 7 at 2pm Las Vegas time!

Share

On April 7 at 2pm Las Vegas time Sony will have a product launch event and I will have a video livestream embedded here on SAR!

Like I told you before there is near zero chance they will announce the new A7sIII. Instead we will get new camcorders. The probably most interesting new thing could be some info about the new XEVC 8K codec (article and detailed images here). This might be used by the future A7sIII too.

Anyway, be sure to be here on April 7 to watch the event. We never know that there might be a surprise…
