The world's first cassette-type VTR, the U-matic, was launched in 1971 and was sold mainly to companies for use in employee training. Later, Sony began development of a broadcast U-matic system, and just one year later the BV (Broadcast Video) series, a compact, high-performance broadcast U-matic that could be used for filming, recording and editing in the field, was revealed. This newly developed news gathering system was named ENG (Electronic News Gathering), and broadcasters around the world made the transition from film to ENG.

A digital cinema camera equipped with a single-chip 8K CMOS image sensor (horizontal pixel 8K, total pixel count of approximately 20 million pixels, effective pixel count of approximately 1900), which can be used in a wide range of cinema production from HD to over 4K. This model also achieved the industry-highest resolution at that time as a super 35mm camera. This camera was developed with the aim of further popularizing 4K video production and contributed to the promotion of higher image quality in high-end video production such as movies and commercials. In 2017, Sony received the Science and Technology Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in recognition of the development of digital cinema cameras, including the F65.

The industry's first 30-inch master monitor equipped with a 4K (4096 x 2016) OLED panel. This model features a high resolution of 4K, faithful black reproducibility unique to OLED's self-luminous method, high contrast of 1,000,000: 1 or more, and excellent responsiveness with little video blur and afterimage. Due to its accurate color, accurate image, and high reliability, this monitor was also called "the divine existence of the grading monitor." This model established a position as the industry's de-facto standard in broadcasting, movie production sites, quality control, research, consumer TV development sites, etc., and received the 2014 Japan Film and Television Technology Award (Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award).

A 4K / HD compatible system camera that is ideal for sports broadcasting and studio program production by concentrating the design know-how of the HDC Series system camera that has been used for many years at broadcasting sites around the world. A 2 / 3-inch 3-plate 4K image sensor block, realized by using a newly developed 4K CMOS image sensor and an ultra-high-precision original fixing technology that accurately attaches three 4K image sensors to an optical system including a newly developed prism, was equipped for the first time in the world. This camera received the 2015 Motion Picture and Television Engineering Society Technology Development Award and the 2016 Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Emmy Award® Technology Category Award. Due to its high-definition and wide color gamut color reproduction and HD slow shooting support of up to 8x speed, this camera is used for sports event broadcasting and studio program production worldwide.

Equipped with a 1.25-inch 3-panel 8K CMOS image sensor and combined with a proprietary prism, this camera system enables high-speed shooting of up to 120p at a high resolution 8K (7680 x 4320) and video shooting compatible with high dynamic range (HDR) in a wide color gamut. It also supports simultaneous output of 8K / 4K / HD signals to be widely used for 4K video and HD video production. In anticipation of 4K / 8K practical broadcasting (new 4K8K satellite broadcasting) in Japan that started in December 2018, Sony developed with product specification advice from the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK). This camera system is used for sports photography at broadcasting stations and productions all over the world.
