Marshall Unveils CV342 HD-SDI Broadcast Camera

Marshall has unveiled its new CV342 Compact 2.2 Megapixel HD-SDI Broadcast Camera.

The camera delivers HD video in 1920x1080p (60, 59.94, 50, 30, 25fps), 1920x1080i (60, 59.94, 50fps), and 1280x720p (60, 59.94, 50, 30, 25fps). It incorporates a 2.2 Megapixel 1/3" CMOS Sensor with CS mount and DC Auto-Iris functionality. The sensor and chip set enable the camera to output HD 12-bit digital image signals from 2.2 million pixels at 60fps through a full size HDSDI(3G-SDI) BNC with very low power consumption, 180mA max.

It features Auto/Manual White Balance, Shutter control, Gamma/Color adjustments, Wide Dynamic Range, Digital Noise Reduction, Digital Defog SmartIR and High Light Compensation.

"Customers are using our compact HD cameras for ON-AIR broadcast POV shots, sportscasts, live music events, auto & horse racing, newscasts. It only makes sense to improve the video quality and functionality of the widely used CV340 into a smaller, more compact rugged body. That's what you get with the next generation CV342," said Tod Musgrave, Product Marketing Engineer.

Because the CV342 is a CS mount, a variety of specialty lenses can be utilized. Marshall carries fixed and varifocal lenses, ranging from 2.4mm~50mm. 

The UK/Ireland distributor for Marshall is Cache Media, based in Newbury. Cache Media have developed windows control software for the camera. Cache will demo the CV 342 CS and the genlockable CV 360 CGB along with other mini cams at BSC Expo, January 30/31 - Stand 37.
