Sony BRC-AM7 4K60 PTZ Camera with AI Auto-Framing (Black)

The black BRC-AM7 4K60 PTZ Camera with AI Auto-Framing from Sony combines a 1.0" type Exmor RS image sensor with approximately 14.0 million effective pixels and the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine to produce high resolution with low noise and textures and materials that are rendered with lifelike accuracy. This PTZ camera features built-in AI auto-framing, advanced subject tracking, and a direct pan-and-tilt drive using newly developed motors that result in exceptionally smooth, remarkably quiet camera operation.

This PTZ camera incorporates advanced AI analytics that enable subjects to be accurately tracked with smooth, natural-looking framing, making it easy to produce high-quality content. 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, etc. 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 produce 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 multicamera system can be set up to follow individual performers without requiring a correspondingly large camera crew

A newly developed built-in lens features a 20x optical zoom with a 35mm equivalent 24-480mm range. In addition, Sony's advanced Clear Image Zoom offers 30x zoom (720mm) in UHD 4K and 40x zoom (940mm) in 1080p. This offers an extraordinary range that can easily capture a subject in various situations.

A 20x optical zoom range and 1.5 and 2x Clear Image Zoom enable the BRC-AM7 to capture images, covering everything from wide angles to close-ups, while delivering a high-quality UHD 4K60p output. The incorporation of ITU709/709tone, S-Cinetone, and S-Log3 support provides improved interoperability with existing Sony camera systems.

The incorporation of ITU709/709tone, S-Cinetone, and S-Log3 support provides improved interoperability with existing Sony cameras and compatibility with S700PTP, free-d, and additional protocols offers broad system connectivity. The BRC-AM7 is the smallest and lightest camera of its type, making it unobtrusive and easy to install just about anywhere, even in multicamera setups.

• In addition to the 12G-SDI primary output, 3G-SDI is provided for monitoring. The BRC-AM7 offers a variety of video output options including HDMI and an optical-fiber 12G-SDI available via an SFP slot.
• Audio input can be connected via a pair of 3-pin XLR connectors or a 3.5mm 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.

The built-in electronic variable ND (neutral density) filter enables 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. It also enables you to obtain optimum exposure without affecting depth of field in the widest possible range of lighting situations.
