Sony BRC-H800 HD PTZ Camera

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 or sports stadiums. It's also particularly suited to efficient multi-camera set-ups, under the control of a single operator.

The 1-inch 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. 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 memorised and followed whenever required. PTZ Motion Sync* smoothly blends separate pan, tilt and zoom movements for seamless, professional-looking transitions.

• Broadcast quality Full HD 60p images
The camera's large, back-illuminated 1-inch 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.

• Cinematic 24p pictures*
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.

• 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-IP10 Remote Control Unit that can control multiple cameras.

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

• Versatile video outputs
Enjoy greater installation flexibility in professional broadcast and AV environments with 3G-SDI (x2) and HDMI video outputs.

• Front and rear tally lamps
Ideal for on-air broadcast use, the BRC-H800 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
