When the Indianapolis Colts and Atlanta Falcons faced off on November 9, 2025, before more than 70,000 fans at Berlin's Olympic Stadium, these official photographers were equipped with Sony's PDT-FP1 handheld data transmitter. This allowed them to capture real-time reactions and emotions from the Olympic Stadium and NFL fan zones, and upload these professional, high-resolution images using the camera's 5G capabilities to the NFL's editorial systems in real time.
In live situations like this high-profile NFL game, the PDT-FP1 enables direct transmission from a camera to a cloud or server, allowing editors to quickly select and publish footage from the field to their channels. The team of photographers capturing the atmosphere in the fan zones and the stadium for the NFL game used Sony's PDT-FP1 handheld data transmitter, designed for professional photo and video production.
It enables fast and stable transmission of image and video files directly over 5G networks. With its dual SIM functionality, large touchscreen, active cooling, and versatile connectivity options, the PDT-FP1 ensures smooth workflows, reliable performance, and high flexibility, making it ideal for broadcasters, professional photographers, and videographers in any type of event environment.
The Sony PDT-FP1 supports two SIM cards, one physical and one eSIM, allowing for easy switching between them. It automatically selects the strongest network based on signal conditions and switches between SIM cards for data transfer. The antenna design is optimized to maximize reception sensitivity, enabling high-speed, low-latency communication over 5G networks. Simply connect this device to a Sony camera with a cable to import photos and videos. After initial setup, this data can be automatically transferred to a dedicated FTP server or to Sony's cloud service.
