Sony updates Xperia PRO-1 phone to add livestreaming

GaryPageau ,

Sony Electronics Inc. announced livestreaming capabilities for the Xperia PRO-I smartphone, via an over-the-air (OTA) software update, which also delivers more shooting experiences within Videography Pro.

Xperia PRO-I’s new capabilities allow for quick livestreaming directly to social streaming services from Videography Pro. It also provides the option of selecting the front camera for additional creative shooting opportunities. In addition, Videography Pro will now detect when shooting vertically with up to 120fps and livestreaming. This will automatically write this detail into the metadata of the file, which will improve the workflow when shooting and editing vertical videos for social media content.

When using Xperia PRO-I with the GP-VPT2BT shooting grip (sold separately), this update now offers the ability to instantly assign the C1 custom key directly from the application.
