    TOKYO --

    NBC Olympics, a division of the NBC Sports Group, selected Sony Electronics to provide broadcast and production equipment for its production of the Games of the XXXII Olympiad, held in Tokyo, Japan, from July 23–August 8. 

    NBC Olympics’ crews are using nearly 100 Sony cameras to capture footage at event venues and record athlete interviews, press conferences, and other assignments that require studio and portable recording and capture. A selection of the Sony cameras, including the HDC-3500, are being used for IP-enabled transmission, while the rest will operate in SDI. The camera roster also features  Sony’s HDC-5500 and HDC-3500 4K/HDR, high-frame rate studio cameras for slow-motion replay footage, along with XDCAM® camcorders including the PXW-Z750, PXW-Z450, PXW-X400 and PXW-Z280.

    NBC Olympics is deploying several of Sony’s production switcher models–including the flagship XVS-9000 4K/3G/HD IP-ready switcher and the XVS-8000 and XVS-6000 4K/3G/HD video switchers designed for IP- and SDI-based production. Many of the switchers are being used in an IP-based environment and several will be designated for 1080P HDR production.

    The switchers handle feeds from each sports venue to NBC Olympics’ production facility inside NBC Olympics’ International Broadcast Center in Tokyo, as well as originate HD cable coverage across NBCUniversal’s various networks and platforms. NBC Olympics is also using hundreds of Sony’s professional monitors.

    Allred said Hutchins' relatives are determined to pursue damages and compensation from Baldwin and "Rust" producers in New Mexico civil court, and want Baldwin to answer questions under oath in the proceedings. Hutchins' widower and son previously reached a separate legal settlement.

    "With the withdrawal that was made public yesterday, we are now able to proceed with our civil case," Allred said. "Clearly, the rights of Alec Baldwin were protected, but the due process rights of the victims — Halyna Hutchins and her parents and her sister — were violated."
