Marshall Electronics has introduced the CV500-M2 miniature 2MP HD-SDI camera, capable of providing full HD video in multiple formats including 50fps in 1920x1080p, 1920x1080i and 1280x720p.

This is the second generation of the CV500 mini-camera line and Marshall says it offers improved features and versatility to meet the requirements of professional broadcast, film and television production.

“Our new CV500-M2 offers the added convenience of HD-SDI with full size BNC connectors, a very useful feature for broadcast applications,” says marketing manager Tod Musgrave. “Secondly, we’ve expanded lens compatibility to a dozen Marshall HD lenses ranging from 2.5 to 50mm. Lens options and ease of installation make this camera possibly the most versatile POV mini-camera in the broadcast market today.”

The mini-cam offers a durable 1/4inch-20 mountable body with full size HD-SDI (BNC) built into rear panel, and switchable M12 lenses. It features a 2 megapixel 12-bit CMOS sensor, a miniature 3.7mm high definition prime lens and new chip-sets with HD 1-bit digital video signals obtained at high speeds of 50(60) fps (3G‐SDI) with very low power consumption. Digital enhancements include double shutter wide dynamic range, white balance, digital defog, pixel correction, and extreme low‐light sensitivity.
