Each of the cameras in this series offers particular features and advantages, providing a variety of cameras for any application. The cameras are easy to operate and can be quickly reset after each use simply by touching a button on the supplied controller – which recalls pre-specified positions for capturing speech and switching scenes.

City Council

Remotely controlled by the RM-BR300, BRC Series cameras quickly capture all of the actions at council meetings or trials. Each camera provides simple, streamlined operation by offering multiple presets which pre-define P/T/Z positions.

Auditorium/Concert Hall

With its pan/tilt/zoom (P/T/Z) capability, a single camera can capture a wide shooting range during an entire live performance, including audience shots. Therefore, with the BRC Series, fewer cameras and camera operators are required, resulting in huge cost savings. These cameras make it easy to get close-ups of performers from locations that are typically difficult for a camera operator to reach. Additionally, each camera’s compact size and quiet movement doesn’t distract the audience from the performance.

Sports Events

With high-speed and extremely smooth pan/tilt movement, BRC Series cameras can follow the quick, spontaneous flow of sports action. With cameras installed in high positions, operators can obtain extensive views of each event, and capture shots at unique angles, typically very difficult to achieve with conventional shooting. Also, optical fiber connection (max. 2,000 m) achieves longdistance data transfer and enables single-operator broadcasting.

Effective control of up to seven cameras

The RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit achieves remote operation of up to seven cameras in a daisy-chain configuration, allowing only one operator to manage multiple camera systems.

Various Camera Presets

Various camera settings can be adjusted within the menu. The BRC-H900/BRC-H700/BRC-Z700/

BRC-Z330 have sixteen presets each and the

BRC-300/300P has six presets to which predefined P/T/Z positions and other various camera settings can be allocated.

42 Remote Operation

8

Operation with the RM-IP10 IP Remote

Controller

The BRC-H900, BRC-Z700 and BRC-Z330 can be controlled by the RM-IP10 IP Remote Controller.

8.1 Required Equipment

IP remote controller: RM-IP10

You can control up to 112 cameras that are compatible with IP connection, and you can add up to five IP remote controllers in the same network.

The joystick of the IP remote controller allows comfortable pan/tilt and zoom operations.

You can also select the RS-232C or RS-422 connection and operate up to seven cameras.

Note Select the LAN, RS-232C or RS-422 connection. You cannot use multiple communication methods simultaneously.

IP control card: BRBK-IP10 (for BRC-H900 or BRC-Z330)

By inserting this card into BRC-H900/Z330, the camera can use an IP connection.

This card outputs an HD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE 292 serial digital interface standards, or outputs an SD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE

259M serial digital interface standards. An audio signal is not output from the card.

IP control card: BRBK-IP7Z (for BRC-Z700)

By inserting this card into BRC-Z700, the camera can use an IP connection.

This card outputs an HD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE 292 serial digital interface standards, or outputs an SD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE

259M serial digital interface standards. An audio signal is not output from the card.

*Connect the tally connector (outputs the camera number that is on-air) of the video switcher to the TALLY/CONTACT connector of RM-IP10. If there are multiple RM-IP10s, connect the same signal to all the TALLY/CONTACT connectors. In this case, set the

TALLY/CONTACT switch (DIP 1 switch 4 and 5) to the ON AIR TALLY mode for all RM-IP10s. When a camera is on-air, the CAMERA button on RM-IP10 lights in red. (This function will be supported by version 2.0 or later).

For details of connection and settings, refer to the operating instructions of the IP remote controller.

Note

• You cannot use the RS-232C and RS-422 connections when using the IP connection. When BRBK-IP10/IP7Z is attached to the camera, the RS-232C/RS-422 connector does not work.

• When outputting an HD-SDI signal from BRBK-IP7Z, the signal delays about 4H in comparison with a Y/Pb/Pr or RGB signal that is output from the camera.

14.1 Color Adjustment

(BRC-H900, BRC-Z700, BRC-Z330)

The BRC-H900, 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 independently, and the BRC-H700 is able to modulate six colors simultaneously.

14.2 Color Detail

(BRC-H900, BRC-Z700, BRC-Z330)

The BRC-H900, 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.

14.3 Color AE

(BRC-H900, BRC-Z330)

The BRC-H900, 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.

14.4 KNEE/GAMMA Adjustment

(BRC-H900)

The BRC-H900 can adjustment “KNEE” and “GAMMA” on the camera menu.

14.6 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.
