C3 Portal

Introducing C3 Portal, Sony’s next generation camera to cloud gateway service designed for professional news gathering and file-based production, enabling fast and secure content delivery from the field to any location.

Move content faster, from anywhere

Live stream breaking news to air, the web and social media simultaneously with latency as low as 0.7 seconds. Sony’s QoS technology ensures high quality video even under challenging bandwidth conditions. Planning metadata ensures that the day’s stories are tagged properly when received by the station. Camcorder control and file access features allow a station or production team to remotely monitor and adjust settings of field camcorders during a shoot, then immediately preview, trim and transfer content to begin the editing process. Edit files directly in C3 Portal’s CMS, or Adobe Premiere via C3P’s plug-in, or transfer files to Sony’s Ci Media Cloud, or any other destination of your choice.

Easy connection with Sony camcorders

Connect to C3 Portal using your Sony camcorder’s built-in Wi-Fi®/RJ45, or an external LTE device without the need to carry a backpack or other expensive transmission hardware. In addition Sony’s new C3 Portal App for IOS and Android simplifies set up and connection to C3 Portal and allows the user to access features of the service right from a cell phone.

Scales to your needs

C3 Portal scales with your operation. Only one tenant license is required no matter how large your organization, and there is no limit to the number of users that may be added to your tenant. Once your C3 Portal tenant is ready, simply add device licenses based on the number of camcorders you may have connected to C3 Portal at the same time. Register your entire fleet of Sony camcorders but only pay for estimated usage. Each device license enables the use of all streaming, remote control, file access, CMS, and metadata features of C3 Portal.
