Sony introduces the new BRC-H700 HD Color Video Camera with three 1/3-inch type HD CCDs boasting
1,070,000 effective pixels each for high resolution and high sensitivity. The BRC-H700 is an all-in-one compact
robotic color video camera system, which achieves high accuracy and wide-range Pan/Tilt/Zoom performance
without complicated cable connections and installation.
With the optional Sony RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, featuring an ergonomically designed joystick, the
BRC-H700 can be precisely controlled via the camera’s control interface (RS-422 or RS-232C) using the VISCA
TM
protocol.
When using the optional BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Unit and optional BRBK-H700 HD Optical Multiplex
Card in the camera, this system allows users to control the cameras and transmit digital image data and audio
signals from a distance of up to 1,000 meters away via optional CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cables

.
In this configuration, up to seven cameras can be controlled with a single RM-BR300 by daisy chaining the
BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Units via the control interface using VISCA protocol.
The BRC-H700 comes equipped with a card slot that accepts a variety of optional interface cards, making it
compatible with a number of different systems. The interfaces supported with these optional cards include
HD-SDI, SD/SD-SDI (down converted), i.LINK
TM*2
for use with HDV
TM
systems, and computer XGA. Other features
include an ”Image Flip“ function for installation flexibility and up to 16 presets for operational ease of use.
With these exceptional features, the BRC-H700 is ideal for a wide range of high-definition shooting applications.
It is also highly suitable for remote shooting in which images are displayed on large-screen displays, such as in
houses of worship, in auditoriums of teaching hospitals, in corporate boardrooms, and at sporting events, trade
shows, and concerts. The BRC-H700 can also be used for distance-learning applications in which clear, high-
definition images are required, for example, when presenting on chalkboards or white boards. Furthermore, it is
an excellent choice for broadcast applications, such as the recording of television programs or as a weather
camera. For these and many more applications, make the BRC-H700 your high-definition camera of choice.
