LOS ANGELES, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS' Television City production facility -- home to many of television's top-rated entertainment programs including Survivor Finale, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, The Price is Right, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Late Late Show, and So You Think You Can Dance -- is adding Sony's new HDC-4300 live 4K high frame rate camera system to its line-up. The facility will roll-out eight of the new 2/3-inch sensor models starting in June.

The new cameras will complement CBS' current inventory of Sony high-definition HDC camera models. Now with HD/4K simultaneous recording, the facility can continue to deliver the highest-quality HD programming, while also giving CBS Television City the option to capture an "evergreen" 4K master for archival and future broadcast use.

"With the capabilities of these new cameras, we can continue to put the best-looking product on the air today, enhance our production values and protect our assets well into the future with the highest resolution master," said Barry Zegel, Senior Vice President and General Manager, CBS Television City.

CBS has a long history with Sony HD technology, starting with the first demonstration ever of HD in the U.S. and including a variety of HD broadcast firsts in sports and entertainment.

The new camera also uses the same control surface as Sony's previous HDC series cameras, so operators will be instantly familiar with the new HDC-4300 operation.

The HDC-4300 uses three 2/3-inch chips with Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) native resolution; 3x Super Slow Motion as standard, with even higher speeds up to 8x planned for the future; and support for the same 2/3-inch sports, studio and ENG lenses used with Sony HDC models.
