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

2Product LineupBRC-H700Equipped with three 1/3-type HD CCDs, the BRC-H700 offersexcellent picture quality with high sensitivity and a high resolutionof 1,070,000 effective pixels. This camera has the best sensitivity ofthe BRC Series; it therefore delivers superior performance in dimly litenvironments, such as concert or wedding halls. Moreover, thecamera offers the widest viewing angle of the BRC Series, deliveringwider images of each scene and providing a complete picture ofongoing events.BRC-Z700The BRC-Z700 offers a resolution of 1,040,000 effective pixels bydeploying three 1/4-type ClearVid CMOS image sensors incombination with Sony-developed DSP technology. This cameraincludes a 20x optical auto-focus zoom lens with an optical imagestabilizer. The perfect choice for long-distance-shootingapplications, such as sporting coverage, this camera provides dualSD/HD outputs, enabling users to smoothly shift towards adopting atotal HD system.BRC-Z330Equipped with single 1/3-type 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor,the BRC-Z330 delivers stunning HD images and SD images. Thiscamera enables 1080i and 720p to be integrated in various HDsystems. It also outputs SD signals simultaneously for further systemflexibility; this is particularly useful when instigating a systemupgrade. Added to this, the camera’s quiet movement, compactsize, light weight, and stylish design broaden the options whendeveloping ideal applications.BRC-300/300PThe standard-definition BRC-300 comes equipped with three1/4.7-type Advanced HAD CCD sensors. This camera deliversdependable picture quality and is the best for costefficient SDapplications. It can capture images in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios,the latter providing a wider viewing angle.Product Lineup7

3Key FeaturesAll-in-one P/T/Z DesignStylish design suitable for mostenvironmentsThe sleek design can complement almost anyenvironment, including the interior décor ofhouses of worship, wedding halls, publicspaces, and more.Unobtrusive design ideal for realityshows and live eventsThe unobtrusive design of the BRC Series allowsspeakers and audiences to concentrate ondiscussions and lectures without beingdistracted. These inconspicuous cameras helpto capture natural expressions and behavior.Cost EfficiencyWhile each camera in the BRC Seriesincorporates CCD or CMOS image sensor, 12xto 20x zoom lenses, and P/T/Z movements, theyare also reasonably priced, and are ideal forremote video shootingapplications.With outstanding functionality and a large numberof peripheral components to choose from, youcan design a variety of user-friendly systems.Long-distance Operation Using an Optical Fiber Cable(BRC-H700,BRC-Z700, BRC-300/300P)Uncompressed digital data – including video,external sync, and camera control signals – canbe transmitted over a long distance using anoptical multiplex unit, an optical multiplex card,and an optical fiber cable. The maximum distancebetween the optical multiplex unit and thecamera is 1000 m for the BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700,and 500 m for the BRC-300/300P.The BRC-H700The BRC-Z700The BRC-300/300POptical multiplex cardOptical fiber cableMax. 1km(BRC-H700/BRC-Z700)Max. 500 m(BRC-300/300P)Optical Multiplex Unit(BRU-H700, BRU-300/300P)RM-BR300 Remote Control UnitVideo outNoteWhen using an optical fiber connection, optional video cards are used with the optical multiplex unit to provide a varietyof video signals. In this configuration, camera video outputs are also available from the camera unit itself. When you usean optional multiplex card inserted into the camera, you cannot control the camera directly by the RM-BR300. You cancontrol the camera only from the RM-BR300 through the BRU-H700 or BRU-300/300P.8 Key Features

This allows you toadjust not only skin tone color but also all other colors.Color gain & hue(BRC-H700)Color matrix(BRC-Z700/BRC-Z330)13.3 Color AE(BRC-Z330)The BRC-Z330 is equipped with a Color AE function. Thiscamera detects a particular color and adjusts exposurespecifically for this color. This feature is useful when shootingobjects located in front of a single-colored background.Techinical Appendix47

In the first configurationwith 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 transmitit via an optical fiber cable. The output signal from the BRU-H700 is an analog audio signal and a selectedvideo signal generated from a compatible optional video card. The third configuration adds even moreconvenience, allowing you to input the output signal to the HFBK-TS1. As a result, you can output the finaldata as HDV.(1) The BRC-H700HFBK-TS1(HDV Card)Audio ini LINK (HDV)Audio&Video(Audio delay is adjustable)(2) The BRC-H700/BRC-Z700BRBK-H700 for BRBK-H700BRBK-MF1 for BRC-Z700HD optical multiplex cardBRU-H700Optical fiber cableAudio inAudio out(3) The BRC-H700/BRC-Z700BRBK-H700 for BRBK-H700BRBK-MF1 for BRC-Z700HD optical multiplex cardBRU-H700Audio inOptical fiber cableAudio outAudio ini LINK (HDV)Audio&Video(Audio delay isadjustable)Techinical Appendix53
