Sony is set to launch its all-new UMC-S3C, the first video camera that offers the highest sensitivity with 4K video recording simultaneously, allowing users to capture details even in challenging low-light conditions.
 
The camera also features tremendous flexibility and long duration video recording alongside 12 megapixel colour still image capture, said a statement from Sony.

“At Sony, we focus on enhancing high resolution and high sensitivity,” remarked Aydin Tolan, the business head, Visual Security Solutions, Sony Professional Solutions Middle East and Africa.

“With this approach, we have been expanding our current 4K product line-up and are confident that we can tap into new markets with the all-new UMC-S3C. The latest video camera is also a testament of Sony’s relentless efforts to provide our clients solutions that meet their business requirements,” he noted.  

Weighting at approximately 400g, the lightweight UMC-S3C is currently the most compact camera among Sony’s line-up in the full-frame camera market.

With mounting points on the camera body to enhance mobility, the stand-alone camera allows users to embed it onto moving objects including vehicles and robot with ease. In addition, users can control the camera via multi terminal , remote controller or compatible software, said the statement.

Capable of achieving both sensitivity and resolution with colour video recording in 4K, the UMC-S3C realizes the highest sensitivity in its class with illuminance as under 0.004lx, ISO 409600, it stated.

This is possible by incorporating Sony’s advanced technologies from both its consumer and professional space - the full-frame 35mm Exmor sensor and image processing engine, it stated.

The UMC-S3C is suitable for a variety of applications including disaster responses; wildlife monitoring; mapping or surveying of landscape; surveillance, inspections and investigations; live camera; dashboard/professional point-of-view (‘POV’) cameras, among others.

Supporting multi camera systems, the UMC-S3C can be fitted into any existing infrastructure and also allows various playback functions with the use of a PC as well as Live View via HDMI, it added.

Long duration video recording is also possible as the stand-alone camera is equipped with a memory card slot on the camera body instead of network cabling feature. With a 64GB memory card, users can record up to 125 minutes of 4K footage with standard quality (30 fps/60 Mbps).

Sony’s new UMC-S3C model will be available from August onwards.-TradeArabia News Service
