Featuring the Company's Shallow Depth of Field Cameras and Professional Monitors, the Distinctive Live Production Truck Serves a New Breed of Entertainment and Corporate Events

PARAMUS, N.J., April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- CINELIVE, a new outside broadcast (OB) truck experience optimized for live entertainment and corporate events, has debuted a new 53-foot cinematic trailer, incorporating Sony's latest production technologies. The mobile unit supports IMAG and streaming and will be used for large live productions, offering an option to achieve a comprehensive cinematic style while offering a user experience familiar to the broadcast community. 

The CINELIVE truck will feature Sony's latest production technologies, highlighted by solutions that support shallow depth of field including:

• 8 x HDC-F5500 wired for 16 cameras; Super 35mm system cameras and related accessories, including a 4K ISO record license, which will be used for cinematic event capture.
• 4 x FR7: full frame pan-tilt-zoom cameras with an interchangeable SELC1635G wide-angle lens, stationed in the truck with SMPTE fiber bases.
• 8 x FWD-55A95L: 55-inch 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) professional BBRAVIA^® displays, which will be used for the truck's multi-view monitor wall.

• 12 x PVM-X series: 32-inch, 24-inch, and 18-inch 4K HDR TRIMASTER monitors that serve as the truck's back bench confidence monitors.

"As the broadcast landscape shifts, we're seeing an overwhelming customer desire to produce live events employing a cinematic look," said Zack Pittman, President, CINELIVE. "While the disparate technologies to achieve shallow depth of field exist, CINELIVE is leading the charge in providing an all-encompassing OB solution, which is powered by Sony's reliable cinematic lineup.
