Pan/Tilt/Zoom Robotic Cameras
The BRC Series consists of three revolutionary Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) color video cameras,
each especially designed for remote video shooting applications. The BRC-300 (SD)
and BRC-H700 (HD) are equipped with three1/4” and1/3” CCDs respectively, while the
BRC-Z700 is equipped with three1/4” HD ClearVid CMOS sensors. This camera is both
HD and SD capable, enabling versatile operations and allowing users to easily migrate
from SD to HD picture quality. What’s more, the BRC-Z700 incorporates a newly designed
smooth PTZ mechanism for precise camera control.
The BRC cameras have very wide pan and tilt ranges, as well as extremely fast and
accurate pan/tilt movements, making them suitable for capturing not only fast-moving
objects, but also slow-moving objects without rocking vibration. Moreover, users can
operate the cameras intuitively with the optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, which is equipped with an ergonomically
designed joystick and feature-rich control panel. With the RM-BR300, users can control up to seven cameras, the presets
for each camera, and other parameters as required. In addition, the BRC Series can be controlled over long distances via a
single fiber optic cable connection. With a number of useful features and excellent picture quality, the BRC Series is ideal
for a variety of remote video shooting applications, such as in houses of worship, auditoriums, teaching hospitals,
corporate boardrooms, and at sporting events, trade shows, and concerts. Furthermore, they are an excellent choice for
broadcast applications, such as the recording of television programs or as a weather camera.
BRC-300
3-CCD Standard Definition (SD) Video Camera
The standard-definition BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7” Advanced
HAD CCD sensors with a total of 1,070,000 pixels. It delivers
outstanding picture quality with high resolution and accurate color
reproduction. Sony Advanced HAD technology enables this camera
to produce high-quality SD images with low noise. It is ideal for cost
effective SD applications – and it can capture images in both 4:3
and 16:9 aspect ratios, the latter offering a wider viewing angle.
Furthermore, the BRC-300 is the smallest camera in the BRC Series,
making it ideal in environments that require the camera to be
positioned unobtrusively.
BRC-H700
3-CCD High Definition (HD) Video Camera)
The BRC-H700 offers high picture quality and high sensitivity with
three 1/3˝ HD CCDs and a resolution of 1,120,000 total pixels. Ideal
for high resolution image-capturing applications, it satisfies the
demands of users who require exceptional-quality video images with
accurate color reproduction. In addition, the highly sensitive CCDs
enable remote video shooting in environments where the lighting is
less than ideal. Furthermore, it has the widest viewing angle in the
BRC Series, allowing users to capture wide areas of a scene such as
audiences at concerts or in auditoriums.

FEATURES
BRC-Z700
3-CMOS SD/HD Video Camera
The BRC-Z700 incorporates three 1/4˝ HD ClearVid CMOS sensors
achieving a resolution of 1,120,000 pixels. It also incorporates a newly
developed DSP to make effective use of the ClearVid CMOS sensors. The
combination of the DSP and the sensors allows the camera to achieve
both higher resolution and higher sensitivity compared to cameras
equipped with conventional CMOS sensors.
Furthermore, the camera’s “color masking” function allows users to adjust
specific colors in the image more precisely, while the “color detail”
function allows users to smooth over skin tones. The BRC-Z700 features
a 20x optical autofocus zoom lens with an optical image stabilizer,
allowing users to clearly capture small or distant objects. It also offers
dual HD/SD outputs and an enhanced Pan/Tilt mechanism that operates
with extremely smooth and precise movements.
