Sony's new Broadband Remote Camera, the BRC-300, is an entire category unto itself. It's Sony's first robotic camera to offer the quality of three individual mega pixel CCDs for brilliant resolution. Specifically designed for remote video-shooting applications, the BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7-type Advanced HAD™ CCDs to provide high-quality, high-resolution images in both 4:3 and 16:9 modes. With its E: Flip function for desktop or ceiling mount flexibility, the BRC-300 is ideal for use in a wide range of remote video shooting applications such as houses of worship, distance learning, corporate training, and cable TV broadcasting. In addition, its all-in-one design makes it an incredibly affordable alternative to separately configured cameras, lenses and P/T/Z mounts. And with a high-accuracy and wide-range pan/tilt/zoom capability, users can precisely capture the right points of the viewable area surrounding the BRC-300 to meet their needs. They can also easily operate the camera with Sony's optional RM-BR300 remote control unit, which is equipped with an ergonomic joystick, and feature-rich control panel. The BRC-300 comes equipped with a card slot that accepts optional interface cards, enabling the BRC-300 to be integrated into every kind of system from S-Video to RGB, iLINK™ DVCAM interface (optional card planned to be available soon), SDI or even fiber. In addition, two remote control interfaces (VISCA™ protocol) are available to provide additional expendability and flexibility for user's remote shooting needs. Highlights: 1/4.7-type IT Mega Pixel 3CCD with Advanced HAD technology Unique-All-in-One Design - Combines Camera, Lens & Pan/Tilt Mount Built-in Auto Focus 48x Zoom Lens Minimum Illumination - 7 lux Horizontal Resolution - 600 TV Lines High Performance Pan/Tilt/Zoom Mechanism Pan angle: -170° to +170° Tilt angle: -30° to +90° 4:3 / 16:9 Aspect Selectable (16:9 Precision Technology) E:Flip Function - Allows for Desktop or Ceiling Mount Installation Optional Interface Card Slot - SDI, Fiber, RGB and i.LINK™ DVCAM Interface Capability (i.LINK DVCAM card coming soon) Optional Joystick Remote Controller - Remotely Control via RS-232C (VISCA protocol) and RS-422 Protocols Features: 16:9 Precision Technology and Wide Angle of View in 16:9 Mode A sufficient amount of pixels are used to reproduce high resolution images in the 16:9 aspect ratio. The BRC-300's Mega Pixel CCD enables an even wider angle of view in the 16:9 mode. RS-232C or RS-422 Serial Control (VISCA™ Command) The BRC-300 camera settings and pan/tilt/zoom functions can be controlled remotely via a PC. With the RS-232C connection, maximum cable length can be extended to 15m (50 feet), while the RS-422 connection extends this further to 1200m (4000 feet).
