FEATURES  
Excellent Picture Quality  
High Performance Pan/Tilt/Zoom  
Mechanism  
BRC-H700  
The BRC Series of cameras covers a wide shooting  
range with its highly accurate Pan/Tilt mechanism.  
All cameras have a very wide pan range of 340  
degrees and a tilt range of 120 degrees. Both pan  
and tilt speeds are variable within the range of 0.25  
to 60 degrees per second (BRC-H700 and BRC-300)  
and 0.22 to 60 degrees per second (BRC-Z700).  
What’s more, the BRC-Z700 has an extremely quiet  
motor that is capable of very precise movements. All  
BRC Series cameras are capable of capturing not only  
fast-moving objects, but also slow-moving objects  
without rocking vibration.  
The BRC-H700 is an HD color video camera that  
features three 1/3-type HD CCDs with approximately  
1,120,000 total pixels. This camera is ideal for high-  
resolution image-capturing applications and satisfies  
the demands of users who require exceptional-quality  
video images with accurate color reproduction. In  
addition, the highly sensitive CCDs enable remote video  
shooting in environments where lighting is not ideal.  
BRC-Z700  
The BRC-Z700 employs three 1/4-type CMOS image  
sensors, boasting a resolution of 1,120,000 total  
pixels. This camera incorporates a newly developed  
DSP to make effective use of the ClearVid CMOS  
Sensors, which have been developed using Sony  
advanced semiconductor technologies. One of the  
advantages of the CMOS sensor is that vertical smear  
is minimized. The combination of the new DSP and  
the ClearVid CMOS Sensors allows the camera to  
achieve both higher resolution and higher sensitivity  
compared to cameras equipped with conventional  
CMOS sensors. Furthermore, the camera’s “color  
masking” function allows users to adjust specific  
colors in the image more precisely, while the “color  
detail” function allows users to smooth over skin  
tones.  
For capturing small or distant objects, the BRC-Z700  
incorporates a 20x optical auto-focus zoom lens and  
the BRC-H700 and BRC-300 adopt a 12x optical  
zoom lens.  
Versatile Video Outputs

Optical Multiplex Unit (BRU-H700,  
BRU-300)  
Multiple Position Presets and User-  
friendly Interface  
Users can transmit uncompressed digital data  
including external sync and camera control signals via  
an optical multiplex unit such as the BRU-H700 and  
BRU-300. With only a single cable connection  
between the camera and the HD optical multiplex  
unit, the system is extremely easy to install. The  
maximum cable length between these units are 500  
meters for the BRC-300 and 1000 meters for both  
the BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700.  
The BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700 each have sixteen  
presets and the BRC-300 has six presets to which  
predefined Pan/Tilt/Zoom positions and other  
parameters can be allocated. These presets can be  
recalled at the touch of a button to easily capture  
video from pre-specified areas. They can also be  
controlled from either the supplied IR Remote  
Commander™ Unit or optional RM-BR300 Remote  
Control Unit. The ergonomically designed joystick  
and feature-rich control panel of the RM-BR300  
provide superb operability in various remote video  
shooting applications.  
RS-232C/RS-422 Remote Control  
(VISCA protocol)  
Flexible Installation  
System integrators can easily configure complex  
systems with the BRC Series because each camera is  
equipped with RS-232C/RS-422 interfaces supporting  
the VISCATM protocol, which allows them to be  
controlled by external PCs and/or controllers. All local  
controls such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom, camera settings, and  
presets can be easily accessed, and up to seven  
cameras can be  
Because the BRC Series has an “Image Flip” function,  
the unit can either be mounted on a ceiling using the  
supplied ceiling mount kit or placed on a flat surface  
to meet the user’s installation and space  
requirements.
