4What is the BRC Series?
The BRC Series consists of three cameras – the
BRC-H700, the BRC-Z700, and the BRC-300/300P.
They have very wide pan and tilt ranges, as well
as extremely fast and accurate pan and tilt
movements, making these cameras suitable for
capturing not only fast-moving objects, but also
slow-moving objects without rocking vibration.
Moreover, you can operate each camera intuitively
with the optional Sony RM-BR300 Remote Control
Unit, which is equipped with an ergonomically
designed joystick and a feature-rich control panel.
With the RM-BR300, 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
events, trade shows, and concerts.

BRC-H700 (HD 3CCD Color Video Camera)
The BRC-H700 offers high picture quality and high sensitivity with
three 1/3-type high-definition (HD) CCDs and a resolution of
1,120,000 total pixels. It is ideal if you require extremely clear HD
images with great detail. Because of its high sensitivity, it can be
operated in shooting
environments without ideal lighting. Furthermore, it has the widest
viewing angle in the BRC Series, allowing you to capture wide areas
of a scene, such as the audience at concerts or in auditoriums.

BRC-Z700 (HD/SD 3CMOS Color Video Camera)
The BRC-Z700 incorporates three 1/4-type HD ClearVid CMOS
Sensors and achieves a resolution of 1,120,000 total pixels.
It features a 20x optical auto-focus zoom lens with an optical image
stabilizer, allowing you to clearly capture small or distant objects.
The BRC-Z700 also offers dual HD/SD outputs and an enhanced
Pan/Tilt mechanism that operates with extremely smooth and
precise movements.
BRC-300/300P (SD 3CCD Color Video Camera)
The standard-definition (SD) BRC-300/300P incorporates three
1/4.7-type Advanced HADTM CCD sensors with a total of 1,070,000
pixels. It is an ideal camera for cost-effective SD applications – and
it can capture images in both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, the latter
offering a wider viewing angle. Furthermore, the BRC-300/300P is

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.

incorporates three CCD or CMOS image
sensors, 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 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.
