Marshall recently upgraded its miniature and compact HDMI/3GSDI cameras with larger HD sensors, powerful next-generation processors and improved industrial design. Marshall says POV camera users will notice a step-up in color and clarity, as well as improved signal strength and ultra-low noise output with stereo embedding ability (mic or line level) on all models. The updated line features a new body style with locking I/O connections, enhanced remote adjustable settings and an expanded selection of output frame rates and formats. New models also include a micro-USB port for field-upgradable firmware updates as new features are added.

A frontrunner of Marshall’s next-generation HD camera line is the CV506 HD Miniature Camera, which offers simultaneous 3GSDI and HDMI options and flexibility in a tiny form factor. The new CV506 serves as an upgrade over the popular Marshall CV505, with a 30 percent larger sensor for better picture, dynamic color depth and low light performance, along with an improved housing design. The CV506 delivers ultra-crisp, clear progressive HD video up to 1920x1080p at 60/59/50fps and interlaced 1920x1080i at 60/59.94/50fps. With interchangeable lenses and remote adjustability for matching with other cameras, the CV506 is suitable for a range of professional workflows as it can capture detailed shots while maintaining an ultra-discreet point-of-view perspective without sacrificing versatility or convenience.

Marshall Electronics will also feature its latest 4K camera with the CV380-CS Compact 4K Camera at ISE 2020. The CV380-CS uses an 8.5 Megapixel sensor to capture detailed video images over 6G/3G/HD-SDI and HDMI formats. Simultaneous 6G-SDI and HDMI outputs offer the ability to plug into multiple workflows with flexible CS-mount lens options for versatility and ease of use. The CV380-CS is designed for POV camera applications where a small, miniature camera is needed to fit into unique locations for compelling angles and viewpoints. The CV380-CS contains a CS/C lens mount where fixed prime or variable focal length lenses can be used to enhance customization. Special attention has been given to improve the durability of the CV380-CS in the field with the addition of new structural “wings,” designed to provide further protection to rear connectors during heavy use.
