Overview

Features

Compact, HD 3CMOS video camera with
built-in pan/tilt/zoom functions
• This HD 3CMOS video camera integrates a camera
block equipped with three 1/2-type Exmor CMOS
sensors, a pan/tilt mechanism, and a 14-magnification
optical zoom lens in a compact body. The
compactness and integration allow versatile usage of
the camera.
• The camera is provided with a wide-angle pan/tilt
mechanism of ±170º horizontally, 90º upward and 30º
downward, which enables wide-range remote
shooting.
• The pan/tilt mechanism enabling smooth camera
movement even at low speed, realizes a minimum pan/
tilt speed of 0.22º per second.
• The pan/tilt mechanism is remarkably quiet, even at
the maximum pan/tilt speed of 60º per second.
HD CMOS camera with high image quality
and high-resolution remote shooting
• The 3CMOS camera system that incorporates 1/2-type
CMOS image sensors with a total of 2,070,000 (1920
× 1080) picture elements allows the shooting of high-
definition images, providing superior picture quality
with high sensitivity and lower smear level.
• Shooting an image using the 1080i (effective
interlaced scanning: 1080 lines) high-definition
format, which is equivalent to the HDTV broadcast, is
enabled. The HD format can be switched (1080/59.94i
or 1080/50i) with the switch at the bottom of the
camera.
• A volume of information four times the capacity of a
normal TV broadcast and camera image shot in 16:9
aspect ratio provides a theater-like wide screen
picture.
Compatible with HD multi-format output
• The camera is compatible with the 720p (effective
interlaced scanning: 720 lines) format in addition to
the 1080i format. You can select the format by the
switch on the bottom of the camera. You can also
switch between 720/59.94p format and 720/50p
format by the switch on the bottom of the camera.

Features
Built-in HD/SD-SDI output
• SDI output is available without inserting an optional
Interface Card. By operating the switch on the camera,
you can output an HD-SDI signal conforming to
SMPTE 292 serial digital interface standards, or
output an SD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE
259M serial digital interface standards.
Built-in down-converted output
The camera is equipped with video output connectors,
1) 2)
allowing HD or SD output without inserting an
Interface Card. You can use the connectors for SD
output now and for HD output in the future.
1)
"HD" indicates high-definition broadcast with 1,080
or 720 effective scanning lines.
2)
"SD" indicates standard-definition broadcast
(conventional television).
Built-in interface card slot
The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for
the optional BRBK-SF1 HD Optical Multiplex Card,
BRBK-HSD2 HD/SD-SDI Output Card, and BRBK-
SA1 Analog SD Output Card. Use of these Interface
Cards gives the camera the capability of having versatile
image output formats.
Long-distance image transmission and
pan/tilt/zoom control
• Combined use of the BRBK-SF1 HD Optical
Multiplex Card, CCFC-S200 Optical Fiber Cable and
BRU-SF10 Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony unique
camera connection technology and optical digital
multiplex transmission technology, allows a long
distance transmission of camera images up to 2,000 m
(6,562 feet) and pan/tilt/zoom control signals. Use of
the optical fiber cable enables an economical and easy
system configuration for long distance.
• The supplied ceiling brackets allow installation of the
camera on a ceiling or a shelf, etc., in a high position.
VISCA camera protocol supported
• The camera is equipped with both RS-232C and RS-
422 communication interfaces. As the camera
supports the industry-standard VISCA camera
protocol, up to seven cameras can be connected and
remotely controlled at a high communication speed of
38,400 bps.
• The optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit allows
easy camera operations.
