     The High-definition, All-in-one, Robotic Color Video Camera –
     For Remote Shooting with Astounding Video Quality
     Sony introduces the new BRC-H700 HD Color Video Camera with three 1/3-inch type HD CCDs boasting
     1,070,000 effective pixels each for high resolution and high sensitivity. The BRC-H700 is an all-in-one compact
     robotic color video camera system, which achieves high accuracy and wide-range Pan/Tilt/Zoom performance
     without complicated cable connections and installation.
     With the optional Sony RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, featuring an ergonomically designed joystick, the
     BRC-H700 can be precisely controlled via the camera’s control interface (RS-422 or RS-232C) using the VISCATM
     protocol.
     When using the optional BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Unit and optional BRBK-H700 HD Optical Multiplex
     Card in the camera, this system allows users to control the cameras and transmit digital image data and audio
     signals from a distance of up to 1,000 meters away via optional CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cables*1.
     In this configuration, up to seven cameras can be controlled with a single RM-BR300 by daisy chaining the
     BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Units via the control interface using VISCA protocol.
     The BRC-H700 comes equipped with a card slot that accepts a variety of optional interface cards, making it
     compatible with a number of different systems. The interfaces supported with these optional cards include
     HD-SDI, SD/SD-SDI (down converted), i.LINKTM*2 for use with HDVTM systems, and computer XGA. Other features
     include an ”Image Flip“ function for installation flexibility and up to 16 presets for operational ease of use.
     With these exceptional features, the BRC-H700 is ideal for a wide range of high-definition shooting applications.
     It is also highly suitable for remote shooting in which images are displayed on large-screen displays, such as in
     houses of worship, in auditoriums of teaching hospitals, in corporate boardrooms, and at sporting events, trade
     shows, and concerts. The BRC-H700 can also be used for distance-learning applications in which clear, high-
     definition images are required, for example, when presenting on chalkboards or white boards. Furthermore, it is
     an excellent choice for broadcast applications, such as the recording of television programs or as a weather
     camera. For these and many more applications, make the BRC-H700 your high-definition camera of choice.
     *1   Up to 10 CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cables (100 m long) can be connected using the supplied extension plugs.

  • 2. MK10297V1.qxd 05.8.30 2:54 PM Page 2 The High-definition, All-in-one, Robotic Color Video Camera – For Remote Shooting with Astounding Video Quality Sony introduces the new BRC-H700 HD Color Video Camera with three 1/3-inch type HD CCDs boasting 1,070,000 effective pixels each for high resolution and high sensitivity. The BRC-H700 is an all-in-one compact robotic color video camera system, which achieves high accuracy and wide-range Pan/Tilt/Zoom performance without complicated cable connections and installation. With the optional Sony RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit, featuring an ergonomically designed joystick, the BRC-H700 can be precisely controlled via the camera’s control interface (RS-422 or RS-232C) using the VISCATM protocol. When using the optional BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Unit and optional BRBK-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Card in the camera, this system allows users to control the cameras and transmit digital image data and audio signals from a distance of up to 1,000 meters away via optional CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cables*1. In this configuration, up to seven cameras can be controlled with a single RM-BR300 by daisy chaining the BRU-H700 HD Optical Multiplex Units via the control interface using VISCA protocol. The BRC-H700 comes equipped with a card slot that accepts a variety of optional interface cards, making it compatible with a number of different systems. The interfaces supported with these optional cards include HD-SDI, SD/SD-SDI (down converted), i.LINKTM*2 for use with HDVTM systems, and computer XGA. Other features include an ”Image Flip“ function for installation flexibility and up to 16 presets for operational ease of use. With these exceptional features, the BRC-H700 is ideal for a wide range of high-definition shooting applications. It is also highly suitable for remote shooting in which images are displayed on large-screen displays, such as in houses of worship, in auditoriums of teaching hospitals, in corporate boardrooms, and at sporting events, trade shows, and concerts. The BRC-H700 can also be used for distance-learning applications in which clear, high- definition images are required, for example, when presenting on chalkboards or white boards. Furthermore, it is an excellent choice for broadcast applications, such as the recording of television programs or as a weather camera. For these and many more applications, make the BRC-H700 your high-definition camera of choice. *1 Up to 10 CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cables (100 m long) can be connected using the supplied extension plugs. *2 i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394 connector. Not all products with an i.LINK connector will necessarily communicate with each other. For information on compatibility, operating conditions, and proper connection, please refer to the documentation supplied with any device with an i.LINK connector. For information on devices that include an i.LINK connection, please contact your nearest Sony office. 2
