3CCD Color Video Camera

BRC-300 BRC-300P

MAIN FEATURES

Superb Picture Quality with a Mega Pixels 3-CCD
The BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7-type Advanced HAD CCD sensors with a total of 1,070,000 pixels. This camera delivers outstanding picture quality with high resolution and accurate color reproduction. Featuring Sonys Advanced HAD technology that produces image with low noise, the BRC-300 is ideal in low illuminated shooting environments or when shooting dark subjects.
Sonys new BRC-300 is a revolutionary all-in-one compact robotic color video camera system, specially designed for remote video shooting applications. The BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7-type Advanced HAD CCDs, that provide high-quality and high-resolution images in both 4:3 and 16:9 modes. With its high-accuracy and wide-range Pan/Tilt/Zoom capability, the BRC-300 precisely captures the right points of the viewable area surrounding the camera to meet your needs. You can also easily operate the camera with Sonys optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, which is equipped with an ergonomic joystick, and feature-rich control panel. And when used with optional BRBK-303 Optical Multiplex Card and BRU-300 Optical Multiplex Unit, the BRC-300 is capable of being controlled from a long distance with a single fiber optic cable connection. The BRC-300 also comes equipped with a card slot that accepts optional interface cards, enabling the camera to be integrated into every kind of system from S-Video to RGB, SDI, DV, or even fiber. In addition, two remote control interfaces (VISCA protocol) are available to provide additional expandability and flexibility for your remote shooting applications. With a number of convenient features such as its Image Flip function for desktop or ceiling mount flexibility, and its compact body, the BRC-300 is ideal for use in a wide range of remote shooting applications such as houses of worship, distance learning, corporate training, high-end videoconference, event shooting, and cable TV broadcasting.
High-performance Sony Pan/Tilt/Zoom Mechanism
The BRC-300 covers a wide shooting range with its highly accurate Pan/Tilt mechanism. It has one of the widest ranges in its class: a pan range of 340 degrees, and a tilt range of 120 degrees. The 340-degree pan range can be covered in 8 seconds, while the 120- degree tilt range can be covered in 4.5 seconds. With its newly developed Pan/Tilt mechanism, the BRC-300 can capture not only fast moving objects, but also slow moving objects without rocking vibration. Whats more, the BRC-300 incorporates a 12x optical auto-focus zoom lens, allowing for a zoom capability of up to 48x when used in combination with its 4x digital zoom.
* In the following text, BRC-300 refers to both the BRC-300 (NTSC model) and the BRC-300P (PAL model), and BRU-300 refers to both the BRU-300 (NTSC model) and the BRU-300P (PAL model).
Precision 16:9 technology
The BRC-300 captures images in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, and with its 3CCD technology, is able to achieve a wide angle of view in the 16:9 mode. Due to the greater number of pixels used in the 16:9 aspect ratio, the BRC-300 generates extremely high-resolution images as compared to conventional cameras.
RS-232C/RS-422 Remote control (VISCA protocol)
The BRC-300 can be controlled by external devices such as the optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit thanks to Sonys well-known VISCA protocol. All local controls such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom, camera settings, and six presets can be easily accessed, and up to seven cameras can be daisy-chained and controlled by the RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit.
