Overview — Marshall Electronics CV-505-MB

The Marshall Electronics CV-505-MB is a compact Full HD mini-broadcast POV camera built around a 1/3-inch sensor and designed for professional video capture in tight spaces. It outputs up to 1080p video at frame rates including 60fps, 59.94fps, 50fps, 30fps, 29.97fps, and 25fps, making it well-suited for broadcast environments that require both 60Hz and 50Hz compatibility. Video is delivered over HDMI v1.3 (full size), providing a straightforward connection to monitors, switchers, and capture devices.

The camera accepts C-Mount lenses, giving operators flexibility in choosing optics for a variety of shooting scenarios. A 3.5mm TRS microphone input — selectable between mic and line level, mono, with 2.5V power — allows for direct audio integration without an external mixer. The CV-505-MB includes Digital/Electronic image stabilization to help smooth out vibration in mounted or handheld POV applications.

The camera supports WDR, BLC, and HLC color profiles for handling challenging lighting conditions. At just 140g and measuring 37mm wide by 37mm high by 35mm deep, this is an exceptionally small and lightweight unit. There is no weather sealing, no built-in wireless connectivity, and no onboard storage, so it is purpose-built as a live-output broadcast camera rather than a standalone recording device.
