Here's a rundown of highlights from Sony at NAB this year from acquisition to archive.

Imaging, display and cinematography

A focal point of the Sony booth at NAB is our modular Crystal LED display system, with a stunning visually immersive display in a gigantic frame setting.

Shipping now, VENICE is the next generation full-frame motion picture camera system that pushes the boundaries of large format image capture with exceptional picture quality, phenomenal colour science and user-friendly operation.

Our latest studio cameras and 4K handheld camcorders raise the bar with spectacular HDR/UHD picture quality and exciting new workflow possibilities in a wide range of applications, from TV broadcast to corporate production, education, faith and online content creation.

We'll be making further digital imaging announcements at NAB that underline Sony's commitment to take professional content creators even further Beyond Definition.
