The amazing Sony BRC Series of pan/tilt/zoom (P/T/Z) color video cameras are revolutionizing the robotic camera world.
Comprised of the BRC-H900, BRC-H700, BRC-Z700, BRC-Z330, and BRC-300/300P models, their features enable users the ability to benefit from their advanced remote capabilities and reduce the need for manned camera operations. Able to be effortlessly integrated into multiple indoor and outdoor systems, this BRC camera series is suitable for multiple remote video shooting applications. With brilliant picture quality ranging from Standard Definition (SD) to Full High Definition (HD), and their collective ease of operation, these high-speed cameras make them hands-down the most sought-after robotic camera available.
Beginning with the front runner in this series, the BRC-H900 has extraordinary sensitivity (F10), and a horizontal resolution (more than 1,000 TV lines in HD-SDI output) that will meet the most stringent of image quality demands. This color video camera is also easily integrated into a vast assortment of systems - and by incorporating its 14x optical zoom lens, the BRC-H900 enables users to utilize this zoom on small and distant objects with amazing accuracy - all while capturing superb quality footage in full HD resolution. With an ability to simultaneously deliver superb HD images (1080i or 720p) and SD analog images, its dual-output capability allows the camera to be integrated into both an HD and SD system, making it valuable for those who want to upgrade to complete HD.
The BRC-H700 has built-in autofocus, 48x zoom (12x optical, 4x digital), 1/3-type IT CCD x 3 Image Sensor. With a minimum illumination of 6 lx, it easily sees in dimly lit applications. This RS-232C/RS-422 serial control (VISCA protocol) interface camera has a 7 unit daisy chain capability and has optional HD/SD-SDI high definition video output, and component RGB (Red Green Blue) high definition video output.
The BRC-Z700, with its three HD 1/4 3 CMOS image sensors, like the BRC-300 and BRC-H700 can be ceiling mounted. This camera is able to concurrently maintain HD Y/Pb/Pr analog output, and Y/C and composite in Standard Definition (SD), and comes with a slot for optional cards to adjust to varied situations. It’s minimum of 6lx of necessary light, or just over .56 foot candles (between twilight and total darkness) allow it to record video in most lighting. Utilizing the universal (for the Sony BRC series cameras) RM-BR-300 remote control unit, it has the ability to concurrently control up to 7 cameras from a distance. Quite a feat!
The BRC-300/300P robotic camera presents the quality of three individual mega pixel CCDs for absolutely brilliant resolution. With three 1/4.7-type advanced HAD™ CCDs delivering high-quality, high-resolution images in both 4:3 and 16:9 modes, it is possible to precisely acquire the right positions for the viewable area. Useful for a variety of remote video shooting applications, as in today’s cable television broadcasting, it's all-in-one design makes it a cost-effective option to separately configured cameras, lenses and P/T/Z mounts.
BRC-Z330 cameras employ three 1/4-type CMOS Image Sensor featuring a resolution of 1,120,000 total pixels, and the same minimum illumination and built-in autofocus as the BRC-H700. This latest addition to the series, the BRC-Z330 compact camera is the smallest model in the series line up, and it’s compact and light body makes installation and operation extremely smooth. Sporting a 72x Zoom (18x optical, 4x digital), this HD PTZ Camera also has an optional HD/SDI HD video output, component RGB HD video output, and a composite Y/C (S Video) SD Video Output, with optional IP (Internet Protocol) control.
Applications for the Sony BRC Series cameras are expansive thanks to their versatile installation capabilities; flat surface, ceiling mounted, placed on a tripod, or outdoor housing kit. From video conferencing and training, their expertise continues, thanks to their P/T/Z capabilities, to auditoriums and concert halls, where with a single camera, a wide visual range can be viewed not only during a live presentation but can include audience shots as well. Rich with features, these video cameras excel in education, broadcast, bridal, and corporate uses. And, with their progressive remote capabilities, the BRC Series cameras are able to decrease physical manned operation.
Remotely controlled by the (VISCA) RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, all of these all-in-one full high definition BRC series cameras can record court trials and city council meetings by presenting six preset patterns, and pre-defined P/T/Z positions. This ergonomically designed Joystick Controller gives precision camera movement and focus adjustment, and includes adjustments for auto-focus, white balance, the auto-exposure feature, and backlight compensation.
The Sony BRC Series cameras several remote control units available. The BRC-H900, BRC-Z700, and BRC-Z330 cameras can be controlled by an RM-IP10 IP Remote Joystick Controller and BRBK-IP10 or BRBK-IP7Z IP Control Card, through an IP network. Permitting flexible configurations, it allows the connection of up to 112 units of BRC cameras, and up to five units of RM-IP10 controllers in configuration.
Sound Control Technologies’ RemoteCam2™ Integration Kit supports the BRC-700 and BRC-H700 (analog component) P/T/Z video cameras up to 300 feet and presents both a cost and time savings with the integration of a “transparent“ link between the camera and head-end. With digital video up to 1080p60, wired and modulated IR (InfraRed) distances up to 300 feet and can adjust the EQ, Gain & Skew adjustments at the touch of a button.
The Sony BRC-AD4CHB, a clear environmental dome is a temperature controlled enclosure designed for the Sony BRC-H900, BRC-Z700, BRC-Z330, and BRC-300 cameras. With an optically rich rugged aluminum IP66 housing, it was designed to retain a thermoelectric cooling system, which protects the camera in outdoor environments at ambient temperatures up to 45°C (113°F). This 12.5-inch dome has an unhindered view throughout the camera’s -30 to 90-degree vertical range of motion, protects against nature’s water and dust and will extend the camera’s life, which will safeguard optimum operating conditions, and it easily mounts directly to poles and walls. Its alter-ego is the BRC-AD14THB, the tinted environmental dome with all the same qualities.
Let’s talk BRC series video (memory) cards that can be added to these amazing cameras. The BRC-H900 has the BRBK-HSD2, and the BRBK-SA1 video cards, while the BRC-Z700 has the BRBK-HSD1 optional video card.
