Sony BRC-X400 4K IP PTZ Camera with NDI/HX Capability

Built to handle NDI®|HX technology, Sony's BRC-X400 is a versatile PTZ camera that is ideal for use in a wide range of environments — from broadcast studios and remote on-air suites to sports stadiums, arenas, houses of worship, and lecture halls. Available in black or white, this 4K PTZ camera can capture every point of view with excellent picture quality and efficient IP production workflow.

The camera's 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor captures broadcast-quality 4K images with excellent sensitivity, very low noise, and rich, natural color reproduction. It's complemented by the integrated high-resolution lens that offers a powerful zoom capability up to 80x in Full HD (30x in 4K), with an expansive 70-degree-wide angle coverage to capture every point of view.

Efficient IP-based live production is augmented with support for NDI®|HX (via optional license), allowing flexible configuration with other networked NDI-enabled devices. Images can also be reviewed remotely via a web browser, with support for RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) and RTMP* (Real Time Messaging Protocol) ensuring smooth, stable streaming of video plus audio (from an optional microphone, available separately) over an IP network.

Installation and set-up is easy, with a new Scene File function allowing the same settings to be applied to multiple cameras. Convenient integration in multi-camera live events is also simplified with genlock support and an "on-air" tally lamp.

NOTE: *Available through future upgrade planned in early 2020
