4What is the BRC Series?
The BRC Series consists of four Pan/Tilt/Zoom
(P/T/Z) cameras-the 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 or the
BRS-200 Remote Camera Operating Switcher. With
these peripheral devices, you can control up to
seven cameras and change the presets and other
parameters of each camera. In addition, long-
distance control of the BRC Series can be
achieved using an optical fiber connection.
With a number of useful features and excellent
picture quality, the BRC Series is ideal for a variety
of remote video shooting applications, in locations
such as houses of worship, auditoriums, teaching
hospitals, corporate boardrooms, and at sporting
event, trade shows, and concerts. Furthermore,
these cameras are cost-effective choices for
broadcast applications, such as television
program recording and as weather cameras. As
the four BRC Series cameras each have specific
benefits, users can choose the most appropriate
solution for their particular application needs.

What is the BRC Series?
Corporate/Boardroom
The BRC Series cameras are excellent for various
business communication applications, such as
videoconferencing, corporate training, and
transmission of managers’ regular speeches. Since
four cameras in the series each have a particular
benefit, there is scope to select the right camera
for every different application.To quickly re-use a
camera after someone else has been using it,
simply touch a button on the supplied controller to
recall pre-specified positions for capturing speech
and switching scenes.
City Council
Remotely controlled by the RM-BR300 or BRS-200,
BRC Series cameras quickly move to capture the
required action at council meetings or in trials.
Single-operator switching and broadcasting are
supported by the BRS-200 switcher, while operation
is simplified and streamlined by multiple presets
which pre-define P/T/Z positions and other
parameters.
Auditorium/Concert Hall
With pan/tilt movement, the wide shooting range
of a single camera can capture an entire live
performance, including audience shots.This ability
of the BRC Series means that fewer cameras and
camera operators are required, resulting in huge
cost savings.These cameras can easily get close
shots of performers from locations that are typi-
cally difficult for a photographer to reach.
Additionally, each camera’s compact size and
quiet movement avoid distracting audiences from
the performance.
Sports Events
With high-speed and extremely smooth pan/tilt
movement, BRC Series cameras can follow the
swift, spontaneous flow of sports action. By pre-
installing cameras in high positions, they can
deliver extensive views of each sporting event, and
capture shots at unique angles, typically very
difficult to achieve with conventional shooting.
Also, optical fiber connection (max. 1,000m)
achieves long-distance data transfer*1 and
enables single-operator broadcasting.
*1 Long-distance control using an optical fiber
connection is available for the BRC-H700,
BRC-Z700, and BRC-300/300P.
Applications

6What is the BRC Series?
Studio
The BRC Series is also ideal for use in the
broadcast industry. The BRC-H700, BRC-Z700
and BRC-Z330*2 can output HD-SDI signals – a
necessity for highly demanding broadcasters
who seek uncompromising picture quality. With
flexible installation, these cameras can be
painlessly integrated into the currently
operating studio with tripods or ceiling
brackets. For the wide angles required in studio
shooting, wide conversion lenses are
available*3. And there are numerous other
camera benefits, including quiet and smooth
P/T/Z movement, a tally indicator, cost-
efficiency, and more.
*2 HD-SDI outputs are available using optional
video cards.
*3 Wide conversion lenses are available for the
BRC-Z700 and BRC-300/300P.
Education
By deploying BRC Series cameras, tutors can
offer students new educational opportunities
anytime and anywhere. With the real-time
distribution of lectures and educational
content, academic institutions can
deliver e-learning classes, and professors can
usefully share professional opinions and
collaborate via networked communication.
House of Worship
By using a large screen in combination with highly
sensitive BRC Series cameras, an organizer can
deliver clear video images with accurate color
reproduction. Attendees can be 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
institution.
Bridal
Pre-installed BRC Series cameras are conducive to
a perfectly peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, as
their silent movement cannot disturb anyone. With
high picture performance and zooming
capabilities, these cameras can capture natural
facial expressions and graceful movements.Also,
due to their compact and sleek design,
these cameras blend easily into the surrounding
environment.

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

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
(BRC-H700,BRC-Z700, BRC-300/300P)
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 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-H700 or BRU-300/300P.

5.3 Optical Multiplex Cards and Optional Video Cards
The following provides information on the location and function of optical multiplex card parts and
optional video cards and optional video cards. The BRC Series allows you to choose from a wide range of
optional video cards.This versatility enables you to create flexible analog and digital system configurations.
5.3.1 BRBK-H700 HD Optical
Multiplex Card

AUDIO IN L/R jacks (phono-type)
Input an audio signal (stereo) that is output
from the AUDIO OUT jacks on the BRBK-H700 HD
Optical Multiplex Card via an optical fiber
cable.The audio input on this board accepts
audio line signals only. When you input audio
signals from a microphone or similar device, it
should be connected with a microphone
amplifier so that audio signals with an
appropriate audio level can be input.
