Compact, HD 3CCD video camera with
built-in pan/tilt/zoom functions
• The camera integrates the HD 3CCD camera block,
pan/tilt mechanism, and 12-magnification optical
zoom with 4-magnification digital zoom in a compact
body. The compactness and integration allow the
camera versatile usage.
• The camera is provided with a wide-angle pan/tilt
mechanism of ±170º horizontally, 90º upward and 30º
downward, which enables wide-range remote
shooting.
•The new pan/tilt mechanism enabling smooth camera
movement even at low speed realizes a minimum pan/
tilt speed of 0.25º per second.
• The pan/tilt mechanism is remarkably quiet, even at
the maximum pan/tilt speed of 60º per second.
HD CCD camera with high image quality
and high-resolution remote shooting
• The HD 3CCD camera system uses three 1/3-type HD
CCDs containing a total of 1,120,000 picture elements
that can shoot high-definition images to offer superior
picture quality with high sensitivity and lower smear
level.
• Shooting an image using the 1080i (effective
interlaced scanning: 1080 lines) high-definition
format, which is equivalent to the HDTV broadcast, is
enabled. The HD format can be switched (1080/59.94i
or 1080/50i) with the switch on the camera.
• A volume of information of four times the capacity of
a normal TV broadcast (effective scanning: 480 lines)
and camera image shot in 16:9 aspect ratio provides a
theater-like wide screen picture.
Excellent optical performance allowing
superior quality shooting
• Adoption of Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar ® T
*
lens with
an aperture of 72 mm reduces chromatic aberration
and achieves high-resolution at all corners of an
image.
• Use of the multi-reflection reduction coating
minimizes unnecessary light reflection inside the lens
and significantly reduces flare and ghost to provide a
realistic image with high contrast and superior color
reproduction.
• The lens has a focal length of 32.5 mm to 390 mm
(equivalent to a 35-mm camera). The wider zooming
range enables remote shooting of high-definition
images with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
• Adoption of a 12-magnification optical zoom lens
that enables zooming without deterioration in picture
quality allows realistic high-definition images. Even
when you shoot a subject using maximum
magnification, clear images with minimum aberration
can be obtained by a lens system that consists of 16
lenses of 11 groups containing three aspherical lenses.
• The camera is equipped with an optical active lens
system that provides a picture blur compensation
function to prevent deterioration in the quality. The
lens itself moves up, down, left and right to
compensate immediately for the blur of an optical
axis. Three compensation effects are selectable
according to shooting conditions.
Built-in interface card slot
The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for
the optional HFBK-HD1 HD Interface Board, HFBK-
SD1 SD Interface Board, HFBK-XG1 XGA Interface
Board, HFBK-ST1 HDV Interface Board and BRBK-
H700 HD Optical Multiplex Card. Use of these
interface boards gives the camera the capability of
having various image output formats.
Long-distance image transmission and
pan/tilt/zoom control
• Combined use of the BRBK-H700 HD Optical
Multiplex Card, CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cable
and BRU-H700 Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony’s
unique camera connection technology and optical
digital multiplex transmission technology allows short
to long distance (up to 1,000 m, or 3,281 feet)
transmission of camera images and pan/tilt/zoom
control signals. Use of the optical fiber cable enables
an economical and easy system configuration for long
distance.
• The supplied ceiling brackets allow installation of the
camera on a ceiling or a shelf, etc. in a high position.
VISCA camera protocol supported
• The camera is equipped with both RS-232C and RS-
422 communication interfaces. As the camera
supports the industry-standard VISCA camera
protocol, up to 7 cameras can be connected and
remotely controlled at a high communication speed of
38,400 bps.
• The optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit allows
easy camera operations.
