4What is the BRC Series?
The BRC Series consists of five Pan/Tilt/Zoom (P/T/Z) cameras – the BRC-H900, BRC-H700, BRC-Z700,
BRC-Z330, and BRC-300/300P.They offer wide and smooth pan/tilt/zoom capabilities together with
exceptional picture quality from SD to Full HD images.You can remotely control these cameras using the
RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit. As a flagship model, the BRC-H900 delivers greatest sensitivity (F10) and
horizontal resolution (more than 1,000 TV lines in HD-SDI output) to meet the needs of highly quality-
conscious applications.The BRC Series is perfect for a variety of remote video shooting applications, and
each camera integrates easily into a wide range of indoor and outdoor systems.
These features enable more and more users to enjoy the benefits of BRC Series cameras, particularly in
education, broadcast, bridal, and corporate applications.And with their advanced remote capabilities,
these cameras also enable a reduction in manned operation.

What is the BRC Series?
Corporate/Boardroom
BRC Series cameras are excellent for various
business communication applications, such as
videoconferencing, corporate training, and
transmission of managers’ regular speeches. Each
of the cameras in this series offers particular
features and advantages, providing a variety of
cameras for any application. The cameras are
easy to operate and can be quickly reset after
each use simply by touching a button on the
supplied controller – which recalls pre-specified
positions for capturing speech and switching
scenes.
City Council
Remotely controlled by the RM-BR300, BRC Series
cameras quickly capture all of the actions at
council meetings or trials. Each camera provides
simple, streamlined operation by offering multiple
presets which pre-define P/T/Z positions.
Auditorium/Concert Hall
With its pan/tilt/zoom (P/T/Z) capability, a single
camera can capture a wide shooting range
during an entire live performance, including
audience shots. Therefore, with the BRC Series,
fewer cameras and camera operators are
required, resulting in huge cost savings. These
cameras make it easy to get close-ups of
performers from locations that are typically difficult
for a camera operator to reach. Additionally, each
camera’s compact size and quiet movement
doesn’t distract the audience from the
performance.
Sports Events
With high-speed and extremely smooth pan/tilt
movement, BRC Series cameras can follow the
quick, spontaneous flow of sports action. With
cameras installed in high positions, operators can
obtain extensive views of each event, and capture
shots at unique angles, typically very difficult to
achieve with conventional shooting. Also, optical
fiber connection (max. 2,000 m) achieves long-
distance data transfer and enables single-operator
broadcasting.
Applications

6What is the BRC Series?
Studio
The BRC Series is also ideal for use in the
broadcast industry. The BRC-H900, BRC-H700,
BRC-Z700, and BRC-Z330 can output HD-SDI
signals*1– a necessity for highly demanding
broadcasters who seek uncompromising picture
quality. With flexible installation, these cameras
can be easily integrated into a working studio with
tripods or ceiling brackets. For the wide angles
required in studio shooting, wide conversion lenses
are available*2. And there are numerous other
benefits, including quiet and smooth P/T/Z
movement, a tally indicator, cost-efficiency, and
more.
*1 The BRC-H700, BRC-Z700, and BRC-Z330 require optional
video cards.
*2 Wide conversion lenses are available for the BRC-Z700
and BRC-300.
Education
By deploying BRC Series cameras, teachers can
offer students new educational opportunities
anytime and anywhere. With the real-time
distribution of lectures and other educational
content, academic institutions can deliver
e-learning classes, and professors can efficiently
share their opinions and collaborate via networked
communication.
Houses of Worship
By using large screens in combination with highly
sensitive BRC Series cameras, clear video images
can be delivered with accurate color
reproduction. Attendees can become more
involved in the service and follow ongoing events
better than ever before. With a variety of
peripheral components, a range of user-friendly
systems can be designed to suit the size and
budget of every organization.
Weddings
Pre-installed BRC Series cameras are ideal for
capturing wedding ceremonies since their silent
movement will not disturb the ceremony. With
high picture performance and zooming
capabilities, these cameras can capture natural
facial expressions and, for example, the graceful
movements of the bride. Also, due to their
compact and sleek design, these cameras blend
easily into the surrounding environment.

Product Lineup
BRC-H900
The BRC-H900 is a flagship model, equipped with three 1/2-type
“Exmor” 3CMOS sensor.This camera offers greatest performance of
minimum illumination, as low as four lux, among BRC series cameras.*
Therefore it delivers excellent quality HD and SD picture even in dark
environment. Furthermore, with the use of RM-IP10 Remote Controller
and BRBK-IP10 IP Control Card, the camera can be controlled through
IP network.This flexibility of installation enables to install up to 112 units
of cameras and up to five units of RM-IP10 controller depending on
customer’s requirements.

BRC-Z700
The BRC-Z700 offers a resolution of 1,040,000 effective pixels by
deploying three 1/4-type ClearVid™ CMOS image sensors in
combination with Sony-developed DSP technology.This camera
includes a 20x optical auto-focus zoom lens with an optical image
stabilizer. The perfect choice for long-distance-shooting applications,
such as sporting coverage, this camera provides dual SD/HD outputs,
enabling users to smoothly shift towards adopting a total HD system.
BRC-Z330
Equipped with single 1/3-type 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor, the
BRC-Z330 delivers stunning HD images and SD images.This camera
enables 1080i and 720p to be integrated in various HD systems. It also
outputs SD signals simultaneously for further system flexibility; this is
particularly useful when instigating a system upgrade. Added to this,
the camera’s quiet movement, compact size, light weight, and stylish
design broaden the options when developing ideal applications.
BRC-300/300P
The standard-definition BRC-300 comes equipped with three 1/4.7-
type Advanced HAD™ CCD sensors.This camera delivers dependable
picture quality and is the best for costefficient SD applications. It can
capture images in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, the latter providing a
wider viewing angle.
BRC-H700
Equipped with three 1/3-type HD CCDs, the BRC-H700 offers excellent
picture quality with high sensitivity and a high resolution of 1,070,000
effective pixels.This camera has the best sensitivity of the BRC Series; it
therefore delivers superior performance in dimly lit environments, such
as concert or wedding halls. Moreover, the camera offers the widest
viewing angle of the BRC Series, delivering wider images of each
scene and providing a complete picture of ongoing events.

All-in-one P/T/Z Design
Stylish design suitable for most
environments
The sleek design can complement almost any
environment, including the interior décor of
houses of worship, wedding halls, public
spaces, and more.
Unobtrusive design ideal for reality
shows and live events
The unobtrusive design of the BRC Series allows
speakers and audiences to concentrate on
discussions and lectures without being
distracted.These inconspicuous cameras help
to capture natural expressions and behavior.
Cost Efficiency
While each camera in the BRC Series
incorporates CCD or CMOS image sensor, 12x
to 20x zoom lenses, and P/T/Z movements, they
are also reasonably priced, and are ideal for
remote video shooting
applications.
With outstanding functionality and a large number
of peripheral components to choose from, you
can design a variety of user-friendly systems.
Long-distance Operation Using an Optical Fiber Cable
Uncompressed digital data – including video,
external sync, and camera control signals – can
be transmitted over a long distance using an
optical multiplex unit, an optical multiplex card,
and an optical fiber cable.The maximum distance
between the optical multiplex unit and the
camera is 2000 m for the BRC-H900 and BRC-Z330,
1000 m for the BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700, and 500 m
for the BRC-300/300P.
When using an optical fiber connection, optional video cards are used with the optical multiplex unit to provide a variety
of video signals. In this configuration, camera video outputs are also available from the camera unit itself. When you use
an optional multiplex card inserted into the camera, you cannot control the camera directly by the RM-BR300.You can
control the camera only from the RM-BR300 through the BRU-SF10, BRU-H700 or BRU-300/300P.
