Using the BRC-H700/BRC-Z700 as a Second Camera for the PCS-HG90 Video Conferencing System

What is the BRC Series?

The BRC Series consists of four Pan/Tilt/Zoom

(P/T/Z) cameras-the BRC-H700, BRC-Z700,

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

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

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?

Applications

Corporate/Boardroom

City Council

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.

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.

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.

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.

*1 Long-distance control using an optical ﬁber

connection is available for the BRC-H700,

BRC-Z700, and BRC-300/300P.

What is the BRC Series?

Studio

House of Worship

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.

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.

*2 HD-SDI outputs are available using optional

video cards.

*3 Wide conversion lenses are available for the

BRC-Z700 and BRC-300/300P.

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.

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.

13.1 Color Adjustment

(BRC-Z700,BRC-Z330)

The BRC-Z700 and BRC-Z330 can enhance or reduce a

speciﬁc color region without changing the white balance.

Both of these cameras adjust the saturation of six colors inde-

pendently, and the BRC-H700 is able to modulate six colors

simultaneously.

(BRC-Z700/BRC-Z330)

13.2 Color Detail

(BRC-Z700,BRC-Z330)

The BRC-Z700 and BRC-Z330 can adjust the image enhancer

of a speciﬁc color, which is an enhancement over the

conventional skin tone detail function. This allows you to

adjust not only skin tone color but also all other colors.

13.3 Color AE

(BRC-Z330)

The BRC-Z330 is equipped with a Color AE function. This

camera detects a particular color and adjusts exposure

speciﬁcally for this color. This feature is useful when shooting

objects located in front of a single-colored background.

13.7 Audio Conﬁguration

The BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700 have three and two audio conﬁgurations, respectively. In the ﬁrst conﬁguration

with the HFBK-TS1 (illustrated below), you can mix audio signals and video signals and output them as HDV.

In the second conﬁguration, you can input the audio signal to the BRBK-H700 or the BRBK-MF1 and transmit

it via an optical ﬁber cable. The output signal from the BRU-H700 is an analog audio signal and a selected

video signal generated from a compatible optional video card. The third conﬁguration adds even more

convenience, allowing you to input the output signal to the HFBK-TS1. As a result, you can output the ﬁnal

data as HDV.

13.9 Data Mix

By setting the DATA MIX switch to ON, you can overlap the menu on top of the video signal output from the

installed interface board. When the switch is set to OFF, the menu does not overlap the video. The switch

setting of the BRU-H700 takes priority over that of the BRC cameras. For example, if the switch of the BRU-

H700 is ON and the switch of the camera is OFF, the menu will be displayed on the video images.
