The High-performance BRC Series – Outstanding Picture
Quality, Precise Movements, and Versatile Interfaces Make
These Cameras Ideal for Remote Video Shooting Applications
The Sony BRC Series consists of three revolutionary Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) color video cameras, each especially designed
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.
Now, Sony introduces the new BRC-Z700, equipped with three 1/4-type HD ClearVid
camera is both HD and SD capable, enabling versatile operations and allowing users to easily migrate from SD to
HD picture quality. What's more, the BRC-Z700 incorporates a newly designed smooth PTZ mechanism for
precise camera control.
The BRC Series has very wide pan and tilt ranges, as well as extremely fast and accurate pan/tilt movements,
making it suitable for capturing not only fast-moving objects, but also slow-moving objects without rocking
vibration. Moreover, users can operate the camera intuitively with the optional Sony RM-BR300 Remote Control
Unit, which is equipped with an ergonomically designed joystick and feature-rich control panel. With the RM-BR300,
users can control up to seven cameras, the presets for each camera, and other parameters as required. In addition,
the BRC Series can be controlled over long distances via a single fiber optic cable connection.
With a number of useful features and excellent picture quality, the BRC Series is ideal for a variety of remote video
shooting applications, such as in houses of worship, auditoriums, teaching hospitals, corporate boardrooms, and at sporting
events, trade shows, and concerts. Furthermore, it is an excellent choice for broadcast applications, such
as the recording of television programs or as a weather camera. The BRC Series consists of three cameras each
with specific benefits, so users can choose the most appropriate solution for their specific application needs.
BRC-H700 (HD 3CCD Color Video Camera)
The BRC-H700 offers high picture quality and high sensitivity with three 1/3-type
HD CCDs and a resolution of 1,120,000 total pixels. It is ideal for users
demanding extremely clear HD images with great detail, and because of its high
sensitivity, it can be operated in shooting environments without ideal lighting.
Furthermore, it 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.
BRC-300 (SD 3CCD Color Video Camera)
The standard-definition BRC-300 incorporates three 1/4.7-type Advanced HAD
CCD sensors with a total of 1,070,000 pixels. It is an ideal camera for cost-
effective SD applications – and it can capture images in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect
ratios, the latter offering a wider viewing angle. Furthermore, the BRC-300 is the
smallest camera in the BRC Series, making it ideal in environments that require
the camera to be positioned unobtrusively.

BRC-Z700 (HD/SD 3CMOS Color Video Camera)
The BRC-Z700 incorporates three 1/4-type HD ClearVid CMOS Sensors and
achieves a resolution of 1,120,000 total pixels. It features a 20x optical auto-
focus zoom lens with an optical image stabilizer, allowing users to clearly capture
small or distant objects. The BRC-Z700 also offers dual HD/SD outputs and an
enhanced Pan/Tilt mechanism that operates with extremely smooth and precise
movements.
