Introducing the Sony BRC-H800

The Sony BRC-H800 is a remote camera that combines uncompromising broadcast image quality, smooth, quiet PTZ operation and the flexibility of 3G-SDI and HDMI connections.

Designed for stand-alone operation, this compact yet powerful robotic camera is the ideal complement to other broadcast cameras for recording images discreetly or in hard-to-reach areas. It's equally at home in TV newsrooms, remote studios and broadcast rooms, auditoriums, places of worship, courts and stadiums. It also makes it possible to set up high-performance multi-camera configurations, under the control of a single operator.

The type 1″ Exmor R CMOS sensor records extremely crisp, low-noise Full HD images at 60p, with excellent low-light sensitivity. The large sensor also makes it possible to create beautiful bokeh effects with minimal depth of field, adapting to all your artistic projects.

Fast, near-silent PTZ operation with 12x optical zoom gives you the freedom to capture wide-angle scenes and close-ups, and 24x high-resolution zoom technology (HD) extends the possibilities even further with no visible loss of resolution. Broadcast-friendly features: two tally lamps for on-air broadcasting, optimized operational flexibility thanks to the possibility of ceiling, table or tripod mounting. The camera also offers numerous video interface and remote control options, as well as PoE+ and Genlock support, simplifying seamless integration into any broadcast or professional audiovisual environment.

Enhanced Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) operation

Precise cropping of shots or tracking of moving subjects with fluid, fast and virtually silent remote control of pan/tilt/zoom functions. This is complemented by a slow pan/tilt mode and low-speed zoom, for smooth, jerk-free camera movements. The PTZ Trace Memory* function enables a sequence of camera movements to be stored and followed on command. PTZ Motion Sync* fades pan, tilt and zoom movements to ensure smooth, professional-quality transitions from one shot to the next.

Full HD 60p broadcast-quality images

The large 1″-type Exmor R CMOS sensor with backlight delivers uncompromising broadcast-quality color images with Full HD 60p resolution, capable of shooting sporting events and fast-paced action scenes.

24p* cinema images

The camera can also operate in 24p mode, for elegantly cinematic video sequences.

High-quality 12x optical zoom and 24x high-resolution zoom (HD)

The top-quality Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with a 12x optical zoom range covers wide-angle shots as well as the closest close-ups. The high-resolution zoom further extends this range to 24x (HD), without sacrificing detail.

Flexible installation

Integration is simplified in a wide variety of environments, thanks to the PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) function, which reduces cabling requirements, and VISCA over IP control.

Remote operation

Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions and other camera parameters can be controlled remotely using the infrared remote control supplied, or the optional RM-IP10 remote control, which can control multiple cameras.

Versatile video outputs

Enjoy greater installation flexibility in professional broadcast and audiovisual environments with 3G-SDI (x2) and HDMI video outputs.
