Overview — Marshall Electronics CV-506-H12

The Marshall Electronics CV-506-H12 is a miniature studio camera built for broadcast, television production, and specialized video capture environments where a compact, high-speed camera is required. At the heart of the camera is a 2.2MP sensor paired with a Sony Exmor image processor, outputting video at up to 1080p resolution with an impressive maximum frame rate of 120fps. The camera supports a broad range of frame rates — 120fps, 100fps, 60fps, 59.94fps, 50fps, 30fps, 29.97fps, 25fps, 24fps, and 23.98fps — making it highly adaptable to international broadcast standards as well as high-speed slow-motion capture workflows.

Video is output in 8-bit 4:2:2 color over a full-size HDMI (Type A) connection, which is a standard and reliable interface for studio integration. A 3.5mm TRS stereo microphone jack supports both mic and line level audio input, adding flexibility for on-camera sound. The camera operates on 12V DC external power and features a metal body with reinforced structural wings, measuring approximately 44 x 44 x 56mm and weighing just 150g.

Focus is entirely manual. There is no built-in image stabilization, no wireless connectivity, and no onboard storage, positioning this as a purpose-built studio tool rather than a general-purpose camera.
