Overview — Marshall Electronics CV-568

The Marshall Electronics CV-568 is a miniature studio camera built around a 1/1.8-inch Sony Exmor image processor-equipped sensor, designed for professional broadcast and production environments. Its compact aluminum alloy body measures just 59 x 59 x 60 mm and weighs 280g, making it well-suited for tight installation spaces where a full-size camera simply won't fit. The camera accepts C-Mount lenses, giving operators access to a wide range of interchangeable optics depending on the application.

For video output, it supports a broad set of formats including 1080p at 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25, 24, and 23.98 fps, 1080i at 60, 59.94, and 50 fields per second, and 720p at 60, 59.94, and 50 fps. Output is delivered via HDMI Type A (1.3). Audio connectivity is handled through a mic/line level input with 2.5V bias and stereo embedding up to 48kHz.

The camera runs on an external DC 12V power supply and has no built-in display or viewfinder, which is typical for a fixed-installation studio unit. Focus is entirely manual via the attached lens, with no autofocus system on board. There is no image stabilization, no Wi-Fi, and no Bluetooth — this is a purpose-built, no-frills production camera intended for integration into structured broadcast workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions — Marshall Electronics CV-568

What lens mount does the Marshall CV-568 use?+
The CV-568 uses a C-Mount lens interface, allowing compatibility with a wide selection of C-Mount optics. Lens selection will directly impact the field of view and imaging characteristics, since the camera itself has no autofocus — focus is set manually through the lens.
What video resolutions and frame rates does the CV-568 support?+
The camera supports 1080p at 60, 59.94, 50, 30, 29.97, 25, 24, and 23.98 fps; 1080i at 60, 59.94, and 50 fields per second; and 720p at 60, 59.94, and 50 fps. The maximum frame rate is 60fps. Output is via HDMI Type A (1.3).
How is the CV-568 powered?+
The CV-568 is powered by an external DC 12V power supply. There is no internal battery or battery compartment, so the camera requires a continuous external power source and is designed for fixed installation or studio use rather than run-and-gun scenarios.
Does the CV-568 have any audio input capability?+
Yes. The camera includes a mic/line level input with 2.5V bias, supporting stereo audio embedding at up to 48kHz. This allows audio to be embedded directly into the video signal output via the HDMI Type A connection.
Is the CV-568 weather sealed for outdoor use?+
No. The specifications indicate no weather sealing is present on this camera. While the aluminum alloy body provides structural rigidity, the camera is not rated for exposure to moisture or dust and is best suited for controlled indoor production environments.
