This used Sony HDC-3170 is a portable system camera built around a 2/3-inch 3-CMOS sensor with global shutter, which eliminates the “jello effect” and banding noise. In addition, it uses digital triax transmission, carrying Full HD images up to 1,800 m over standard 0.57-inch triax cable. As a result, it is an easy upgrade for facilities that already have triax infrastructure.
