Sony BRC-H900 HD 1/2 Type 3CMOSs PTZ Color Video Camera

The flagship BRC-H900 Pan/Tilt/Zoom color video camera incorporates a 1/2-type Exmor 3 CMOS sensor that delivers exceptionally high picture quality to meet demanding live production requirements. The BRC-H900 was designed with flexibility in mind. Control Options: VISCA RS-232C/RS-422 or IP control (10Base-T/100Base-TX /Auto). With the use of Sony's new RM-IP10 IP Remote Controller, the BRC-H900 can be controlled through an IP network for flexible configuration and can accomodate installations of up to 112 BRC cameras and up to five RM-IP10 controllers. (BRBK-IP10 board also required.) Mounting and Installation: In addition to standard desktop installation, the BRC-H900 can be ceiling mounted and used with a tripod for mobile, live events. Its renowned silent and smooth pan/tilt/zoom mechanism enables use in noise-conscious environments. Advanced Color Adjustment: With a variety of picture adjustment features including color, gamma, black and knee settings, the BRC-H900 camera allows for fine tuning to meet professional demands. With a minimum illumination of 4lx, the BRC-H900 also achieves outstanding performance in difficult lighting environments. Tally Lamp: Not one but two tally lamps are featured on the BRC-H900 - one on the front and one on the rear - offering wider visibility.
