Sony's
new Broadband Remote Camera, the BRC-300, is an
entire category unto itself. It's Sony's first
robotic camera to offer the quality of three individual
mega pixel CCDs for brilliant resolution. Specifically
designed for remote video-shooting applications,
the Sony BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7-type Advanced
HAD™ CCDs to provide high-quality, high-resolution
images in both 4:3 and 16:9 modes. With its E:
Flip function for desktop or ceiling mount flexibility,
the BRC-300 is ideal for use in a wide range of
remote video shooting applications such as houses
of worship, distance learning, corporate training,
and cable TV broadcasting.
In addition, its all-in-one
design makes it an incredibly affordable alternative
to separately configured cameras, lenses and PTZ
mounts. And with a high-accuracy and wide-range
pan/tilt/zoom capability, users can precisely
capture the right points of the viewable area
surrounding the BRC-300 to meet their needs.
They
can also easily operate the camera with Sony's
optional RM-BR300 remote control unit, which is
equipped with an ergonomic joystick, and feature-rich
control panel. The BRC-300 comes equipped with
a card slot that accepts optional interface cards,
enabling the BRC-300 to be integrated into every
kind of system from S-Video to RGB, iLINK™ DVCAM
interface (optional card planned to be available
soon), SDI or even fiber. In addition, two remote
control interfaces (VISCA™ protocol) are available
to provide additional expendability and flexibility
for user's remote shooting needs.
