SONY Visual Products Inc. MAC prefixes: device type unknown
Summary
- // what this is
- SONY Visual Products is registered to MAC prefix
CC:98:8Band 1 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withCC:98:8B, that block was registered by SONY Visual Products — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- These exact /24 prefixes leave 24 suffix bits, or 16,777,216 possible suffix values each. For both prefixes, the first-byte Group and Local bits are zero. A matching address indicates the registry assignment only; suffix possibilities are not device or shipment counts.
About this vendor.
A MAC address beginning with CC:98:8B or 70:26:05 matches an IEEE MA-L assignment to SONY Visual Products Inc. The assignment identifies the registry holder; it does not identify a specific device, product, deployment, or current operator. The supplied records do not map either prefix to a device category or product.
Both are 24-bit prefixes, leaving 24 address bits after the matching prefix. Each therefore has 16,777,216 possible suffix values. This is a count of possible values, not a count of devices or shipments. For either exact prefix, the first-byte Group bit and Local bit are both zero; changing either bit produces a different prefix and no longer matches the exact assigned prefix.
The IEEE CSV records identify Japan in the registrant address and provide no assignment dates. A captured address matching one of these prefixes supports identifying the corresponding registry assignment. It cannot by itself establish which device used the address or its security state.
