It represented a radical departure from Sony&#039;s earlier Betamovie camcorder line, adopting a professional-grade design philosophy.<br /> <br /> The EDC-50 used a 2-CCD imaging system with separate sensors for luminance and chrominance signals, achieving 550 lines of horizontal resolution from the camera section — deliberately exceeding the 500-line recording capability of the ED Beta format. The lens mount was interchangeable, with a Tamron 10× zoom lens included as standard. The camera and deck sections could be physically separated and reconfigured, following the modular design approach of professional broadcast equipment.<br /> <br /> Body color was gray, with &quot;EDCAM&quot; printed on the cassette insertion lid and &quot;2CCD&quot; marked on the body side panel. A major criticism of the EDC-50 was its poor low-light sensitivity, attributed to the 2-CCD configuration splitting available light between two smaller sensors rather than using a single larger sensor.<br /> <br /> The EDC-50 was the basis for the North American EDC-55 and the professional EDW-150.<br /> |related_models=Sony EDC-55,Sony EDW-150,Sony EDV-9000<br /> |av_system=NTSC<br /> |frequency=50Hz,60Hz<br /> }}<br /> {{AV voltage range<br /> |voltage_min=100<br /> |voltage_max=100<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=Video Out<br /> |output_type=Video<br /> |signal=Composite (CVBS)<br /> |connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=S-Video Out<br /> |output_type=Video<br /> |signal=S-Video (Y/C)<br /> |connector=Mini-DIN-4<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}<br /> {{AV output<br /> |label=Audio Out<br /> |output_type=Audio<br /> |signal=Analog stereo<br /> |connector=RCA (connector)<br /> |count=1<br /> |location=rear<br /> }}</div>
