Sony Europe Limited has begun making its 4K HDC-4300 video camera in Pencoed, south Wales, the weekly Broadcast reported on 20 February.
The factory is scheduled to make about 25 units per month and Wales is the only country other than Japan to produce the camera.
The Sony UK Technology Centre has been producing broadcast technology since 1999, shipping more than 13,000 units a year. The plant was chosen due to its production capabilities and expertise in high-end, high-value and low-volume products.
