Sony's global-shutter flagship carries a working pro's port set: a full-size HDMI Type A output (up to 4K60 4:2:2 10-bit and 16-bit RAW to external recorders — no 4K120 over HDMI, so 2.0b-class), a 10Gbps USB-C port with PD power, and a Gigabit Ethernet LAN terminal for FTP and tethered workflows. Both media slots are CFexpress Type A / SD UHS-II combo slots, and separate 3.5mm mic and headphone jacks cover audio.
Global-shutter flagship with full-size HDMI out, 10Gbps USB-C, Gigabit LAN, dual CFexpress Type A/SD UHS-II combo slots, mic + headphone jacks.

Notes & Compatibility
Full-frame global-shutter flagship. HDMI is full-size Type A, up to 4K60 4:2:2 10-bit + 16-bit RAW out; no >18Gbps mode documented, so modeled HDMI 2.0b-class (Sony publishes no version number). Dual combo slots each take CFexpress Type A OR SD UHS-II — SD leg modeled, CFexpress Type A in prose (not a palette connector). Kept in prose: flash sync (PC) terminal, Multi Interface Shoe with Digital Audio Interface, vertical-grip contacts.
