Simple Live Streaming available for Sony HXR-NX80 and PXW-Z90 camcorders

Sony has announced that its Simple Live Streaming service, a new proposition for users to streamline the process of acquiring live content, is now available. The additional workflow flexibility for its palm-sized 4K HDR professional camcorders, the HXR-NX80 and PXW-Z90, can be accessed via a free firmware upgrade to enable content creators to shoot wherever and however they want.

With Wi-Fi connectivity, Simple Live Streaming enables high quality live streaming to major video sharing websites and social media platforms such as Vimeo, YouTube and Facebook with a single camcorder. Offering simple operation, it further enhances the remote delivery of content quickly without compromising on image quality.

The ‘Simple Live Solution’ is achieved by combining the MCX-500 multi-camera live producer and the RM-30MP remote commander to provide multi-camera based simple live production. When a user needs to expand live streaming to multiple camcorder operation, the HXR-NX80 and PXW-Z90 camcorders can be connected to MCX-500 via SDI or HDMI — enabling live streaming onto social media platforms with rich live features such as tally, title and transition.
