Small but powerful

The Marshall Electronics CV508 is a powerful full HD camera in a super-compact housing that is virtually identical to its predecessor, the CV506, with the exception of the improved sensor. With an edge length of just five centimetres, it can be installed inconspicuously almost anywhere. Its robust metal housing contains a state-of-the-art 2.5-megapixel sensor that delivers pin-sharp videos with a maximum resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and up to 60 frames per second. The signal is transmitted simultaneously via the HDMI output and the BNC socket (3G-SDI) on the back of the camera, and if the built-in 3.6mm lens is not quite right for a particular shoot, it can be swapped for another M12 lens in a few simple steps thanks to the M12 connection.

Two operating options

In addition to a 12-volt power supply, the scope of delivery includes a breakout cable that connects to the 12-pin socket located on the rear of the CV508 and locks securely in place. This adapter can be used to connect the power supply, a separate stereo audio source, and a remote control (RS-485 interface) to the mini camera. Alternatively, the whole range of settings can be made using the four-way joystick that is integrated into the adapter cable. In conjunction with the camera's on-screen menu, this allows the resolution, frame rate, and a variety of image parameters such as white balance, black level, colour saturation, sharpness, and exposure to be adjusted and set. The micro-USB port is used for firmware updates.

Broadcast buddy

The Marshall Electronics CV508 is primarily suitable for use in professional settings, but thanks to its HDMI output, it can also be used with consumer streaming or recording equipment - e.g. in conjunction with an HDMI capture card on a home PC. However, its strengths will truly come to the fore in more elaborate productions such as the transmission of concerts, sporting events, church services, lectures, tuition sessions, news broadcasts, or reality shows. The mini camera is also recommended for commercial settings - for monitoring company buildings, official facilities and courtrooms, for instance.
