Simple live solution
The HXR-MC88 is designed to work seamlessly with Sony’s MCX-500 Multi Camera Live Producer, a robust and
cost-effective switcher that makes it easy for one person to run a multi-camera live event shoot. When used
with the MCX-500 and Remote Commander RM-30BP, a Tally indicator will automatically appear on each HXR-
MC88’s LCD panel and viewfinder – a red icon indicates when the shot is live (PGM) while Green indicates pre-
view mode (PVW).
The MCX-500 supports up to 9 video inputs, 5 channel stereo inputs including XLR with both internal recording
and live streaming via Facebook Live, and Youtube Live*
* Facebook live and YouTube live available with V2.0 firmware
