Description

BRC-AM7 4K 60p PTZ Camera

Advanced PTZ Auto Framing camera with built-in AI analytics delivering flagship image quality. Offering high interoperability with other production systems.

  • Dramatically improved imaging performance: Images captured over a 20x optical zoom range that covers everything from wide angles to close-ups are delivered as high-quality 4K 60p output. In addition, interoperability with existing systems has been improved by incorporating ITU709/709tone, S-Cinetone™, and S-Log3 support.

A 1.0-type Exmor RS image sensor with approximately 14.0 million effective pixels and the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine work in unison to achieve high resolution with low noise. Textures and materials are rendered with lifelike accuracy.

What’s more, 5K oversampling capability for 4K QFHD (3840 x 2160) recording with full pixel readout and no pixel binning oversamples approximately 1.7x the required amount of data, producing 4K 60p output with excellent resolution and detail.

BRC-AM7 offers high-resolution 4K HDR imaging, broad dynamic range, and a wide colour gamut. It is possible to record at up to 4K 120p*, allowing the production of impressively smooth 4K slow-motion imagery. Slow motion is a great way to add interest and variation to dynamic sports action.

* Recording only. Additional equipment required for output. Angle of view is reduced by approximately 23%. 4K 120p not available during transfer via PoE++.

This newly developed built-in lens features a 20x optical zoom range. In addition, Sony’s advanced Clear Image Zoom offers 30x zoom (720 mm) in 4K and 40x zoom (940 mm) in Full HD. This offers extraordinary range that can easily capture a subject in various situations.

  • Built-in AI PTZ Auto Framing: Advanced AI analytics allow subjects to be accurately tracked with smooth, natural-looking framing, making it easier than ever to produce high quality content with less camera operators. Direct pan and tilt drive using newly developed motors results in exceptionally smooth camera operation. This advanced drive system is also remarkably quiet and is ideally suited to situations where silence is a requirement.

AI analytics uses detailed human pose, head, face, clothing, and other data to recognize human subjects with high precision. This can be used to automatically control pan, tilt, and zoom to follow an athlete at a sports event, for example. PTZ Auto Framing is smooth and natural-looking, making it possible to work with a smaller camera crew.

The latest Exmor RS image sensor and BIONZ XR image processing engine work in unison to achieve outstanding subject detection precision and speed for significantly improved tracking performance. The image sensor has focal plane phase-detection AF in the imaging area, easily focusing on fast-moving subjects with extraordinary speed and precision over a wide area.

PTZ Auto Framing works with this newly adopted AF system to dramatically improve overall AF tracking performance. A performer who is actively moving around on stage can be reliably followed while precise focus is maintained, for example. With this capability, a multi-camera system can be set up to follow individual performers without requiring a correspondingly large camera crew.

  • Seamless integration with Sony’s system cameras: The BRC-AM7 is the smallest and lightest camera of its type in the world*, making it easy to install just about anywhere. It is unobtrusive for the same reason, even in multi-camera setups. Additionally, the BRC-AM7 offers broad connectivity and system compatibility with for example S700PTP and free-d protocols.

The BRC-AM7 supports not only ITU709, 709tone, S-Cinetone and S-Log3 for seamless colour matching, but also has great control capability by S700PTP protocol. This allows remote control of Sony’s cameras via Ethernet, so detailed remote control is available from Sony’s RCP series remote control panels or MSU series master setup units. This makes it possible to combine the BRC-AM7 with Sony’s BRC series cameras and/or system cameras to create highly integrated systems with advanced remote-control capability.

The BRC-AM7 is the smallest, lightest camera of its kind in the world. It fits easily in limited spaces where installation of other PTZ cameras might be difficult or impossible. This product is less likely to be noticed if it appears in a shot in a multi-camera installation. The BRC-AM7 also has a standard 1/4-20 UNC screw socket for tripod mounting and the same 3/8-16 UNC screw socket as other system cameras for accessory attachment.

  • Built-in Variable ND filter for automatic exposure adjustment: Sony’s original built-in electronic variable ND (neutral density) filter allows seamless variation from 1/4 to 1/128 ND, with an auto exposure mode automatically maintaining optimum exposure through lighting variations. Ideal exposure can be maintained when stage lighting changes, for example, without having to adjust iris, shutter, or gain. Also, optimum exposure can be achieved without affecting depth of field in the widest possible range of lighting situations.
  • Quick colour matching with other Sony’s cameras: Colour matching with Sony’s system cameras is simple with ITU709 and 709tone, as well as S-Cinetone and S-Log3 for Cinema Line cameras for seamless multi-camera operation.

A direct drive system using newly developed axial-gap brushless DC motors, with high torque and advanced control technology, provides highly accurate response and tracking. It allows smooth, detailed control of camera pan and tilt for high-quality visual presentation at all speed ranges. These advanced motors work with precision optical encoders to allow pan and tilt speeds ranging from a very slow 0.004 degrees per second to a snappy 180 degrees per second. This broad speed range makes it possible to be used in various applications.

  • Broad connectivity:  In addition to 12G SDI primary output, 3G SDI is provided for monitoring. The BRC-AM7 offers a variety of video output options such as optical-fiber 12G SDI available via an SFP slot, and HDMI. Audio input can be connected via a pair of 3-pin XLR type connectors or a 3.5 mm stereo jack, providing plug-in compatibility. Power can be supplied via a standard 4-pin XLR connector, or a PoE++* network connection without the need for additional wiring in environments where a power infrastructure is not available.* IEEE802.3bt (Type 4 Class 8) compliant.

The BRC-AM7 has dual memory slots that are both compatible with CFexpress Type A and SDXC memory cards.* Slot A and Slot B accept CFexpress Type A and UHS II/UHS I SDXC memory cards for high-speed storage and retrieval of large volumes of data. The dual memory slots also allow simultaneous recording, relay recording, and proxy recording.

* Not compatible with CFexpress Type B memory cards. Internal recording and playback are not available when powered via PoE++.

Free-d compliant camera tracking information output (pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris) allows the camera’s position in 3DCG space to be output so that its motion can be replicated in virtual VR/AR systems. This makes high-level virtual production available for news programmes, events, and much more.

SRT/RTMP/RTMPS/RTSP, NDI|HX, and optical fiber communication are supported, allowing 4K 60p output and remote control via an IP network.
