PTZ cam tracks your skeleton!
in 4K/60p. Oversampling from a 5K image captures high-resolution 4K video, and it also supports 4K HDR. There is a 20x optical zoom, and a digital zoom providing 30x in 4K or 40x in Full HD. It has a built-in unique electronic variable ND filter from 1/4 to 1/128 stops. The BRC-AM7 offers ITU709, 709tone, S-Cinetone and S-Log3 gamma choices, genlock terminals and is compatible with Sony’s master set-up units and remote- control panels. Power is via an XLR 4-pin connector or supports PoE++ . The camera features 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs, as well as 3G-SDI for monitor output. For audio, there are two channels of XLR 3-pin connectors and a 3.5mm stereo input. For streaming, the BRC-AM7 supports SRT, RTMP, RTSP, NDI and optical fibre
Sony’s new flagship integrated lens PTZ camera, the BRC-AM7, can automatically track moving subjects thanks to the latest AI technology, using subject detection AF based on the person’s skeleton, head, face and clothing. This feature will be coming to more new Sony models in spring 2025. This camera is claimed to be the world’s smallest and lightest integrated lens PTZ model, measuring 168.7mm/6.64in wide, 225.2mm/8.37in in height and 192.3mm/ 7.57in deep, with a weight of only 3.7kg/ 8.16lb. This means it can be used in tight spaces where larger PTZ units won’t fit. The BRC-AM7 is designed to work alongside Sony’s professional camera ecosystem, providing full compatibility and easy colour matching. It uses a 1.0- type 4K stacked Exmor RS CMOS image sensor and Bionz XR processing to record
for remote production over IP networks. It is also compatible with Visca over IP, S700PTP protocol, CGI and IP Tally for remote production as well as the FreeD protocol for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). No price has yet been revealed by Sony.
NEW BEBOB DELUXE
Like its predecessor, the Cube 1200/700 has an integrated charger and can be fully juiced up in eight hours. It can also be used as a mains adapter, providing up to 150W of output power. As with all batteries in the Bebob collection, the old cells in the Cube 1200/700 can be replaced with new ones when their capacity decreases. No price has yet been set. bebob.de/en
The Bebob Cube 1200 li-ion block battery now comes in a more powerful version, the Cube 1200/700. With a maximum load of 700W at a capacity of 1140Wh and voltages of 14.4/24/48v, this bigger version is still compact at under 9kg. The new Cube has three 12v outputs – one D-Tap and two XLR, two 24v XLR outputs and a 48v XLR output with cable compensation. There are also two 5v USB outputs.
A new wide-angle zoom to fit Sony E-mount is designed to be compact, but has a limited range compared to its current 16-35mm f/2.8 sibling. The Sony 16-25mm f/2.8 G costs £1198/ $1198, almost half the price of its bigger brother. It weighs in at just 409g/0.9lb and has a 67mm filter thread, against the 547g/1.2lb and 82mm thread of the latest 16-35mm II. The new 16-25mm has 16 lens elements in 13 groups with three ED (extra-low dispersion) and four aspherical elements, including one ED aspherical lens. And an 11-bladed, rounded aperture promises smooth bokeh. Autofocus is from two linear motors for speed and precision while reducing noise, meaning it’s ideal for smooth tracking even at 240fps. The lens has a focus hold button, lockable aperture ring and is dust- and moisture-resistant, featuring a fluorine coating on the front element to repel contaminants. sony.co.uk Compact wide zoom for E-mount
