SONY BRC-AM7 Advanced PTZ Auto Framing Camera

PRODUCT FEATURES

SONY BRC-AM7 Advanced PTZ Auto Framing Camera
Advanced PTZ Auto Framing camera with built-in AI analytics delivering flagship image quality. Offering high interoperability with other production systems. Images captured over a 20x optical zoom range that covers everything from wide angles to close-ups are delivered as high-quality 4K 60p output. In addition, interoperability with existing systems has been improved by incorporating ITU709/709tone, S-Cinetone™, and S-Log3 support.

Dramatically improved imaging performance
An Exmor RS™ image sensor and BIONZ XR™ processing engine deliver outstanding 4K 60p quality
A 1.0-type Exmor RS image sensor with approximately 14.0 million effective pixels and the latest BIONZ XR image processing engine work in unison to achieve high resolution with low noise. Textures and materials are rendered with lifelike accuracy.

Built-in AI PTZ Auto Framing
Highly accurate recognition technology
AI analytics uses detailed human pose, head, face, clothing, and other data to recognize human subjects with high precision. This can be used to automatically control pan, tilt, and zoom to follow an athlete at a sports event, for example. PTZ Auto Framing is smooth and natural-looking, making it possible to work with a smaller camera crew. Advanced AI analytics allow subjects to be accurately tracked with smooth, natural-looking framing, making it easier than ever to produce high-quality content with fewer camera operators. Direct pan and tilt drive using newly developed motors results in exceptionally smooth camera operation. This advanced drive system is also remarkably quiet and ideally suited to situations where silence is a requirement.

Seamless integration with Sony’s system cameras
Interoperability with existing systems. The BRC-AM7 supports not only ITU709, 709tone, S-Cinetone and S-Log3 for seamless color matching, but also has great control capability thanks to the S700PTP protocol. This allows remote control of Sony cameras via Ethernet, so detailed remote control is available from Sony’s RCP series remote-control panels or MSU series master setup units. This makes it possible to combine the BRC-AM7 with Sony’s BRC series cameras and/or system cameras to create highly integrated systems with advanced remote-control capability*.
*An MSU unit is required for multi-camera systems.

Textures and materials are rendered with lifelike accuracy.

Built-in Variable ND filter for automatic exposure adjustment
Sony’s original built-in electronic variable ND (neutral density) filter allows seamless variation from 1/4 to 1/128 ND, with an auto exposure mode automatically maintaining optimum exposure through lighting variations. Ideal exposure can be maintained when stage lighting changes, for example, without having to adjust iris, shutter, or gain. Also, optimum exposure can be achieved without affecting depth of field in the widest possible range of lighting situations.

Quick color matching with other Sony cameras
Color matching with Sony’s system cameras is simple with ITU709 and 709tone, as well as S-Cinetone and S-Log3 for Cinema Line cameras for seamless multi-camera operation.
