Camera Overview — Marshall Electronics CV-346

The Marshall Electronics CV-346 Compact Studio Camera is a professional-grade broadcast camera built around a 2.5 MP sensor, delivering full HD video output at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. Designed for studio, POV, and broadcast environments, the CV-346 offers a compact form factor with dimensions of just 58.6 x 56 x 56 mm, making it easy to integrate into tight production setups where space is at a premium. Video output tops out at 1080p with a maximum frame rate of 60fps, and the camera supports a wide range of frame rates including 59.94fps, 50fps, 30fps, 29.97fps, 25fps, and 24fps — covering both broadcast and cinematic standards across international markets.

Color sampling is handled at 4:2:2, which is a meaningful advantage for professional post-production and chroma keying workflows. The CV-346 accepts C-Mount lenses, giving operators access to a broad ecosystem of glass suited to compact studio applications. Output is via Full HDMI, and audio is handled through a stereo input accessible via a Hirose breakout cable.

The camera is powered by a 12V DC power supply, consistent with fixed studio installations. With no internal storage media, the CV-346 is intended as a live output camera feeding directly into production switchers or capture devices.

What video resolutions and frame rates does the CV-346 support?+
The camera outputs up to 1920 x 1080 at a maximum of 60fps. Supported frame rates include 60fps, 59.94fps, 50fps, 30fps, 29.97fps, 25fps, and 24fps, covering both NTSC and PAL broadcast standards as well as standard cinematic frame rates.
How does audio work on the CV-346?+
