As rumored before, Sony will announce a new camcorder/studio camera at NAB Show in New York on October, 2017. Now this studio camera seems already got leaked online. It is Sony HXC-FB80 CMOS HD Midrange Studio Camera, the replacement of HXC-FB75H.

Sony HXC-F80 featured with a 2/3-in. CMOS sensors that have 15 f-stops of sensitivity and capture 1080p images at 59.94 or 23.98 fps. The camera has 3-Gbps and 12-Gbps output, and HD HDR capabilities will be added in mid 2018 (the camera will capture in BT.2020 color space). First shipment of this studio camera will be in January, 2018.

“It’s a new midrange studio camera with features that are designed around the needs of sports broadcasters,” says Rob Willox, director of marketing, Sony Professional Solutions. “It’s for those who find the HDC-2500 or HDC-4300 is not a realistic option.”

“The HDR capability uses HLG [hybrid log-gamma], and the HXCU-FB80 camera-control unit has a built-in 4K upconverter and can also control up to 24 cameras under the same control system,” says Willox. “This is the first camera in our lineup with that; cameras aimed for the lower end are usually point-to-point.”
