Uncompromising, Full-HD performance from compact camera.
There is increasing demand for small “Box”-type or “Point-Of -View” cameras with the flexibility to shoot from almost anywhere while still delivering highest quality full-HD pictures for use standalone or in seamless integration with content from full-size cameras. The HDC-P1 delivers unprecedented picture quality thanks to its full use of the technologies from Sony’s flagship HDC Series studio cameras. Three 2/3″-inch type Power HAD FX CCDs offer a sensitivity of F11 at 1080/50i or F10 at 1080/59.94i. A wide range of formats are supported, including 720/50P, 59.94P, and 1080 50/59.94P, 23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF, and 29.97PsF capabilities available via optional software upgrades.
It is also the first camera of its class to feature dual ND/CC filters, both of which are servo controlled, and its ultra-narrow, 86mm body makes it ideal for applications such as 3D. Other applications include a range of unmanned and point-of-view HD applications, such as stadiums, conference rooms and schools. It can also be used as a “companion” camera in automated broadcast studios.
This product contains pre-installed software and requires the purchase of license keys to activate some functions.

The HDC-P1 weighs only 1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz) and its dimensions are a compact 86mm(W) x 130mm(H) x 189mm(D), allowing easy installation in space-constrained and awkward areas such as on a crane head or helicopter.
The HDC-P1 is the first camera of its type with two optical filters - Neutral Density (ND) and Color Correction (CC) - to provide more flexibility under changing lighting conditions and easier picture matching with full size system cameras. Both filters are servo driven so they can easily be controlled remotely.
The HDC-P1 camera not only delivers comparable picture quality to a full-size Sony system camera, it is also fully compatible with Sony's current Master Set-up Units (MSU) and Remote Control Panels (RCP) using 700 Protocol - the same control system as HDC Series Cameras. This flexibility allows for comprehensive camera systems or simple point-to-point systems.
Despite its diminutive dimensions, the HDC-P1 delivers outstanding quality, full-HD images. Three 2/3-inch type full HD "Power HAD FX" CCDs offer a sensitivity of F11 at 1080 50i and a high signal-to-noise ratio of -58 dB.
Compact and lightweight, the HDC-P1 is ideal for capturing HD-quality images in locations and from angles where bulky production HD cameras cannot be installed. Weighing only 1.7 kg (3 lb 12 oz) enables easy installation in space-constrained and awkward areas such as on a crane head or helicopter. The supplied tally unit can be easily detached from the camera body, minimizing the camera size to be fitted in, for example, a pan/tilt head or an underwater housing.
The HDC-P1 camera is fully compatible with Sony's current master set-up units (MSU) and remote control panels (RCP). This flexibility makes it easy to integrate with everything from extensive multi-camera systems or simple point-to-point systems.
