HD Pan Tilt Zoom Camera with 1.0-Type Exmor R CMOS Sensor

Description

Remotely capture broadcast quality Full HD images with smooth silent PTZ and excellent low-light sensitivity.
The BRC-H800 remote camera combines uncompromising broadcast picture quality and smooth silent PTZ operation with the flexibility of 3G-SDI and HDMI connections.

Designed for unattended operation this compact but powerful robotic camera is an ideal complement to other broadcast cameras for capturing images in hard-to-reach or unobtrusive positions. It's equally at home in TV newsrooms remote studios and on-air suites auditoriums houses of worship courtrooms classrooms or sports stadiums. It's also particularly suited to efficient multi-camera set-ups under the control of a single operator.

The 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS image sensor captures crisp low-noise Full HD images at 60p with excellent low-light sensitivity. The large image sensor also allows the creation of beautiful 'bokeh' effects with a shallow depth of field to suit any artistic intention.

Speedy near-silent PTZ operation with 12x optical zoom accommodates wide-angle scenes and tightly framed close-ups with Clear Image Zoom 24x(HD) extending this range even further without visible loss of resolution. In Tele Convert Mode 24x zoom can be further doubled to 48x without losing HD resolution.

Broadcast-friendly features include dual tally lamps for on-air operation while operational flexibility is enhanced with options for ceiling table top or tripod mounting. There’s also a broad range of video interfacing and remote control possibilities – plus support for PoE+ and genlock – for smooth integration into any broadcast professional or corporate AV environment.

The BRC-H800/1 is a US/Canada model which is bundled with the AC-UES1230MT AC power supply and cord. In all other regions the AC power supply and cord are sold separately.

Enhanced Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) operation
Accurately re-frame shots or track moving subjects with smooth speedy near-silent remote control of pan tilt and zoom functions. There's also low-speed zoom and a slow pan/tilt mode for precise judder-free camera movements. PTZ Trace Memory allows a sequence of camera movements to be memorised and followed whenever required. PTZ Motion Sync smoothly blends separate pan tilt and zoom movements for seamless professional-looking transitions. Upto 100 preset positions for pan/tilt/zoom operations.

Broadcast quality Full HD 60p images
The camera's large back-illuminated 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor delivers uncompromised broadcast quality colour pictures in detail-packed Full HD 60p capable of capturing sports and other fast-moving action.

The camera can also operate in 24p mode for video footage with a rich filmic look.

High quality 12x optical zoom and 24x(HD) with Clear Image Zoom
The high quality Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens with 12x optical zoom range covers wide angle shots as well as tight close-ups. Clear Image Zoom* expands this range to 24x (HD) without sacrificing detail. In addition the Tele Convert Mode can double this range again up to 48x zoom while maintaining a 1920×1080 resolution.

*Clear Image Zoom is a Sony original intelligent interpolation which analyzes the input image and increases the resolution of the image.

Excellent low light sensitivity
The BRC-H800 can capture crisp low noise colour video images in light levels as low as 1.7lx making it an ideal choice for dimly lit live hall and theater

Flexible installation
Integration is simplified in a wide range of environments with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) to reduce cabling requirements and VISCA control over IP.

Remote operation
Pan/tilt/zoom and other camera settings can be controlled using the supplied IR remote commander or with the optional RM-IP500 Remote Control Unit that can control multiple cameras.
