Sony to Showcase Camera Upgrades, Virtual Production Tools and Creators’ Cloud at NAB Show 2025
At NAB Show 2025, Sony will highlight a range of new products and updates across live production, virtual production, imaging and cloud-based workflows. The company’s booth will focus on tools that support broadcast, cinema, sports, and remote production environments.
Key product debuts include the HDC-F5500V, a Super 35mm 4K live production camera featuring a global shutter, PL mount and Variable ND (VND) filter capabilities, and the HDC-P50A, a compact POV box camera with direct IP connectivity and full CCU integration.
Sony’s BRC-AM7 K PTZ camera, previously announced, will receive a Version 2 firmware update adding multi-person tracking, AI enhancements and compatibility with the CNA-2 Camera Control Network Adapter. The CNA-2 also supports large-scale remote operations through Sony’s Global Multi Camera System (GMCS).
In professional displays, Sony will debut the BVM-HX1710 and BVM-HX1710N monitors, offering up to 3,000 nits peak brightness and side-by-side 4K/HD comparison. A Version 2 firmware update will extend similar functionality to the flagship BVM-HX3110.
The VENICE Extension System Mini and a firmware update for the BURANO cinema camera will be showcased, offering more flexible rigging and faster frame rates for high-end content creation. Also featured are the PXW-Z200 and HXR-NX800 camcorders, and the DWM-30 digital wireless transmitter from Sony’s DWX series.
Sony will also introduce OCELLUS, a marker-free camera tracking system for virtual production that operates indoors or outdoors and integrates into broadcast or cinematic workflows. The company’s Virtual Production Tool Set receives updates for off-axis color correction, ray tracing, and real-time moiré detection.
The Nevion division will showcase updates to its Virtuoso media node and VideoIPath orchestration platform, enabling greater flexibility for IP- and cloud-based production environments.
Ci Media Cloud, part of Sony’s Creators’ Cloud suite, now supports more camera RAW formats, a DaVinci Resolve Studio extension and direct camera-to-cloud workflows for Sony FX3, FX30, and Alpha 7S III models.
Other highlights include updates to the MLS-X1 and M2L-X switchers, new sports tools from Hawk-Eye Innovations, and enhancements to Sony’s Monitor & Control mobile app.
