Sony Electronics launches the PDT-FP1, a portable data transmitter with a unique antenna structure that enables high-speed still image and video data transfer over 5G networks. With his PDT-FP1, Sony leverages his 5G mobile technology to enhance professional workflows in broadcasting and reporting. This wireless communication device enables real-time transfer and seamless live streaming of photos and videos over 5G, greatly increasing process efficiency for news agencies, photojournalists, corporate or event photographers, broadcast video production, etc. To do.
“The PDT-FP1 is a valuable solution for many applications, including live events and production, reporting, sports, faith, weddings, and more. The PDT-FP1 allows photographers and videographers to You can increase efficiency and productivity on the go without worrying about environmental conditions,” said Yang Chen, Vice President of Imaging Solutions at Sony Electronics. When speed and timeliness are important, this is an innovative device that allows you to upload and transfer from the field and front lines to editors more easily and quickly. ”
The advantages of PDT-FP1 are:
- Capture and send from almost anywhere: Use PDT-FP1 as a 5G modem to view and upload media directly from compatible Sony cameras, transfer stills and video media, and use any file transfer protocol (FTP) Deliver to destination. Additionally, the Sony Creators’ Cloud for enterprise app enables secure and reliable media transfer via PDT-FP1 to Sony Cloud services such as Ci Media Cloud and C3 Portal’s cloud gateway. This makes it easy to use for any photographer/videographer. No longer are you tied to a wired network or handing over a physical memory card.
- Use in harsh environments: Optimized battery efficiency and high temperature thresholds allow PDT-FP1 to last for extended periods of time even in some of the most demanding conditions.
- Live stream wirelessly: Stream video wirelessly from a variety of compatible cameras using 5G and pairing via HDMI or Sony still and video cameras using USB. Live streaming. Real-time messaging protocol (RTMP) streams can be broadcast to social media platforms, freeing operators in the field from traditional constraints. Moreover, the external monitor app can be used as an external monitor while streaming with many professional features.
- Broadcast high-quality, low-latency video: PDT-FP1’s 5G transmission can be used in conjunction with Sony’s CBK-RPU7 new remote production unit to transmit high-quality, low-latency (4k 60p/50p) HEVC video for sports, movies, etc. Masu. , virtual production, and news environments.
- Monitor on the go: Visually monitor network and communication status while shooting using the dedicated Network Visualizer app. This ensures that your content is delivered to the people who need it.
Major features
High-speed, low-latency communication even overseas
By optimizing the antenna structure, PDT-FP1 supports a wide range of bands, including domestic and international 5G sub-6mm waves, 5G standalone networks, and local 5G networks, achieving high-speed, low-latency communication. In addition to the plug-in nano SIM card, the PDT-FP1 also supports dual SIM with eSIM that does not require insertion or removal. It is also possible to automatically select and prioritize lines depending on network conditions, and to switch SIMs for data transfer.
Cooling fan and duct structure for stable continuous communication
A newly developed cooling fan reduces heat buildup even in environments up to 104 degrees. Although the PDT-FP1 has a slim body design, it uses a duct structure that efficiently dissipates internal heat, supporting stable and continuous communication. You can choose from various operating modes such as automatic, cooling priority, and quiet priority to best suit your installation environment.
Simple data transfer workflow by linking with some Sony cameras
PDT-FP1’s “camera wired connection” setting function makes setup easier and faster. The 6.1-inch OLED display can display communication quality and file transmission status at the same time. You can check the transfer status while shooting, so you don’t miss a decisive shooting opportunity. PDT-FP1 provides operational flexibility. The LAN port connects to Sony cameras and transfers data. The USB Type-C terminal further supports enhanced Sony camera compatibility and enables seamless transfer and tagging workflows. Additionally, the PDT-FP1 may support HDMI-enabled cameras. Furthermore, by using the USB Type-C charging terminal and external power source, you can stream and transfer data at the same time without worrying about battery drain. Designed as a camera companion, it features screw holes for securing the camera and tripod, as well as a lanyard hole for attaching cable fixing accessories. Built-in memory of 8GB (RAM)/256GB (ROM) and microSDXC support of up to 1TB enables high-speed processing and storage of large amounts of data.
Price and availability
PDT-FP1 is expected to be available in the U.S. in early summer 2024 for approximately $1099.99.
