SONY BRC-X1000 Premium 4K30P 12x Optical Zoom PTZ Camera (White)

Remotely capture broadcast quality 4K images with smooth, silent PTZ and excellent low-light sensitivity
The BRC-X1000 is Sony's first 4K remote camera, combining uncompromising broadcast picture quality and smooth, silent PTZ operation with the flexibility of 3G-SDI and HDMI connections. Designed for remote 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, faith centers, courtrooms, or sports stadiums. It's also particularly suited to efficient multi-camera setups, under the control of a single operator. The 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS image sensor captures detail-packed 4K footage at 30 p with four times the pixel count of Full HD, and 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 12 × optical zoom accommodates wide-angle scenes and tightly framed close-ups, with Clear Image Zoom 18 × (4K), 24 × (HD) extending this range even further without visible loss of resolution. In HD resolution, 24 × zoom can be doubled to 48 × with Tele Convert Mode. 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.

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 memorized and followed whenever required. PTZ Motion Sync smoothly blends separate pan, tilt and zoom movements for seamless, professional-looking transitions. Up to 100 pre set positions for pan/tilt/zoom operations

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.

Uncompromising 4K images
The camera's large, back-illuminated 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor delivers uncompromised broadcast quality color pictures in detail-packed 4K 30p, with four times the resolution of Full HD. Footage can also be captured in Full HD 60p - ideal for fast-moving sports action.

Genlock
Genlock simplifies integration with other systems in multi-camera broadcast environments.

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

Versatile video outputs
Enjoy greater installation flexibility in professional broadcast and AV environments with dual link 3G-SDI (x4) and HDMI video outputs.

High quality 12x optical zoom and 18x(4K) or 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 18x (4K) or 24x (HD) without sacrificing detail. In addition, the Tele Convert Mode can double this range again, up to 48x zoom while maintaining a 1920x1080 resolution. *Clear Image Zoom is a Sony original intelligent interpolation, which analyzes the input image and increases the resolution of the image.

Front and rear tally lamps
Ideal for on-air broadcast use, the BRC-X1000 features dual tally lamps on the front and rear of the camera body. Brightness of the front tally lamp can be adjusted in two steps.

Always up to date
New camera functionality and performance improvements can be added via firmware updates over IP.

Excellent low light sensitivity
The BRC-X1000 can capture crisp, low noise color 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.

Simplified construction of VR/AR systems*
Real-time camera tracking data (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) can be output from the camera over IP network in free-d* protocol. It can construct VR/AR system without additional tracking system, easy and cost effective solution.
*VR: Virtual Reality, AR: Augmented Reality
*free-d is an industry-standard protocol for transmitting camera tracking data.
