Overview — Marshall Electronics CV-508

The Marshall Electronics CV-508 Micro POV Studio Camera is a compact, professionally oriented camera built for broadcast, studio, and live production workflows. At its core sits a 2.2MP Sony IMX CMOS sensor capable of delivering 1080p video output at frame rates spanning 23.976fps all the way up to 60fps, covering virtually every standard broadcast and production frame rate in use today. Video is captured at 10-bit 4:2:2 color depth with BT.709 color profile support, making it well-suited for professional broadcast pipelines that demand accurate, high-fidelity color reproduction.

The camera outputs via Micro HDMI and accepts a 3.5mm stereo audio input, keeping connectivity practical for embedded or rigged installations. It runs on external 12V DC power for continuous operation, making it ideal for fixed installations where battery management would be impractical. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy and measures just 40mm x 44mm x 55mm, weighing only 136g — a genuinely small footprint for a broadcast-grade device.

Lens options are handled through a C-Mount interface, offering flexibility in optical configuration. Focus is fixed, and digital image stabilization is available electronically. No wireless connectivity is included.
