Sony BRC300 TNSC 3 CCD P/T/Z Robotic Color Video Camera

The BRC-300 (NTSC model) is 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 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 affordable alternative to separately configured cameras, lenses and P/T/Z 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 DV interface, 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.
