While a lot of focus lately in the film and video industry has been on how to combat the rise of AI technology, one area which should remain (relatively) AI-free is live content. Well, we say that now, but who knows. Still, it’s hard to do anything live besides capture, which is why it’s worth arguing that live content is a stable way to go for a lot of film and video professionals.
To help in this area, Sony has stepped up its commitment to live content creation with their launch of their new PDT-FP1 5G Portable Data Transmitter which enables high-speed, stable still image and video transport over 5G networks. A great option for news agencies, photo and video journalists, and all of the myriad of corporate, wedding, and event photo and video pros, along with broadcast professionals.
Let’s take a look at the new PDT-FP1.
