Sony BRC-X400B IP 4K Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera

Sony BRC-X400B (BRC/X400B, BRC_X400B, BRCX400B, BRC-X400, brc-x400b) IP 4K Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera

Capture every point of view in 4K with excellent picture quality and efficient IP production workflow

The versatile BRC-X400 PTZ camera is ideal for use in a wide range of environments - from broadcast studios and remote on-air suites to sports stadiums, arenas, houses of worship and lecture halls.

The camera's 1/2.5-type Exmor R™ sensor captures broadcast quality 4K images with excellent sensitivity, very low noise and rich, natural colour reproduction. It's complemented by the integrated high-resolution lens that offers a powerful zoom capability of up to 80x in Full HD** (30x in 4K), with an expansive approx. 70° wide angle coverage to capture every point of view.

Efficient IP-based live production is augmented with support for NDI®|HX (via optional license), allowing flexible configuration with other networked NDI-enabled devices.

Images also can be reviewing remotely via a web browser, with support for RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol), RTMP*** (Real Time Messaging Protocol) and SRT*** (Secure Reliable Transport) ensuring smooth, stable streaming of video plus audio (from an optional microphone, available separately) over an IP network.

Installation and set-up is easy, with a new Picture Setting File**** allowing the same settings to be applied to multiple cameras through a web interface from a laptop or PC. Convenient integration in multi-camera live events is also simplified with genlock support and an 'on-air' tally lamp.
