Sony BRC Camera Series ~ 3CCD HD PTZ camera (BRC-H700) vs. 3CMOS HD/SD PTZ camera (BRC-Z700)

The Sony BRC Series of high performance color Pan/Tilt/Zoom Cameras (PTZ) all have outstanding picture quality, versatile interfaces and precise movements, making all three BRC cameras ideal for remote video shooting applications.

Both the BRC-H700 and BRC-300 have already been highly successful worldwide, satisfying user needs for high-definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) applications, respectively. However, Sony recently introduced their new HD/SD capable BRC-Z700, which comes equipped with three 1/4-type HD ClearVidTM CMOS Sensors in addition to incorporating a newly designed smooth P/T/Z mechanism for precise camera control.

The primary differences between the three BRC cameras;

  • BRC-300 ~ Standard Definition ~ 1/4.7″-type advanced HAD 3CCD only

BRC-300

  • BRC-H700 ~ High Definition ~ 1/3″-type HD 3CCD only

BRC-H700

  • BRC-Z700 ~ Both HD and SD capable ~ 1/4″-type HD ClearVid 3CMOS

BRC-Z700

Moving past the BRC-300, what is the difference between the BRC-H700 an the BRC-Z700?

  • All BRC cameras have a very wide pan range of 340 degrees and a tilt range of 120 degrees.
  • All BRC Series cameras are capable of capturing not only fast-moving objects, but also slow-moving objects without rocking vibration.

BRC-H700 ~ HD Color Camera

  • 1/3″ 3CCD
  • 1,120,000 total pixels
  • 16 Presets for predefined P/T/Z positions
  • HD Component (Y/Pb/Pr), RGB
  • Pan and tilt speeds are variable within the range of 0.25 to 60 degrees per second
  • Image Flip Function
  • Features a 12x optical autofocus zoom lens with an optical image stabilizer, allowing users to clearly capture small or distant objects.
  • Has the widest viewing angle in the BRC Series, allowing users to capture wide areas of a scene such as audiences at concerts or in auditoriums.
  • Has high sensitivity, it can be operated in shooting environments without ideal lighting

BRC-Z700 ~ HD/SD Color Camera

  • 1/4″ 3CMOS
  • 1,120,000 total pixels
  • 16 Presets for predefined P/T/Z positions
  • HD Component (Y/Pb/Pr), RGB, Composite, Y/C
  • Pan and tilt speeds are variable within the range of 0.22 to 60 degrees per second
  • Image Flip Function
  • Features a 20x optical autofocus zoom lens with an optical image stabilizer, allowing users to clearly capture small or distant objects.
  • Dual HD/SD outputs and an enhanced Pan/Tilt mechanism that operates with extremely smooth and precise movements.
  • Combination of the new DSP and the ClearVid CMOS Sensors allows the camera to achieve both higher resolution and higher sensitivity compared to cameras equipped with conventional CMOS sensors.
  • Has a “Color masking” function that allows users to adjust specific colors in the image more precisely, while the “color detail” function allows users to smooth over skin tones.

IDEAL BRC CAMERA APPLICATIONS:

  • Remote Video Shooting Applications including;
    • Houses of Worship, Auditoriums, Teaching Hospitals, Boardrooms, Sporting Events, Trade Shows, Concerts, etc.
  • Broadcasting Applications including;
    • Recording of television programs, Weather Camera
