Sony shows what HD has to offer at the Mediatech trade fair.
Jess Goedhals, general manager for Sony Broadcast South Africa, says the Mediatech Africa trade fair will act as the bridge for South Africa’s swing into high definition.
Sony will showcase their new generation HD studio and OB cameras and a new HD vision mixer. Goedhals says the new generation equipment offers affordable solutions for the needs of South African and African based broadcasters.
He adds, “There is virtually no new standard definition equipment now, if anything customers have to consider multi-format equipment, which uses both HD and SD, to be prepared for the future.”
