Precautions
Operating or storage location
Operating or storing the camera in the following locations may cause damage to the camera:
•Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C [32°F to 104°F])
•Exposed in direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g., near heaters)
•Close to sources of strong magnetism
•Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV transmitters
•Locations subject to strong vibration or shock
Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in materials equal in quality.
Cleaning
•Use a blower to remove dust from the lens or optical filter.
•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of detergent solution, then wipe dry.
•Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may damage the surface finishes.
Maintenance
The camera mechanism may cause abnormal noise due to wear and lubrication loss after a long period of use. To maintain optimum performance, we recommend periodical maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult with your Sony dealer.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CCD. You are cautioned that the surface of a CCD should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment where a laser beam device is used.
Typical CCD Phenomena
The following phenomena may appear on the monitor screen while you are using the BRC-300/300P color video camera. These phenomena stem from the high sensitivity of the CCD image sensors, and do not indicate a fault within the camera.
Vertical smear
A “smear” may appear to extend vertically from very bright subjects, as shown below.
Video monitor |
Pale vertical |
|
screen |
||
smear |
||
|
Very bright subject (such as an electric lamp, fluorescent lamp, sunlight, or strong reflected light)
This phenomenon is common to CCD imaging elements using an interline transfer system, and is caused when electric charge induced by infrared radiation deep within the photo sensor is transferred to the resistors.
Aliasing
When shooting fine stripes, straight lines or similar patterns, the lines may become slightly jagged.
Blemishes
A CCD image sensor consists of an array of individual picture elements (pixels). A malfunctioning sensor element will show up as a single pixel blemish in the image. This is generally not a problem.
White speckles
When you shoot a poorly illuminated object at a high temperature, small white dots may appear all over the entire screen image.

Precautions / Typical CCD Phenomena 5
Overview
Overview
Features
Compact, 3CCD video camera with builtin pan/tilt/zoom functions
•The camera integrates the 3CCD camera block, pan/ tilt mechanism, and 12-magnification optical zoom with 4-magnification digital zoom in a compact body. The compactness and integration allow the camera versatile usage.
•The camera is provided with a wide-angle pan/tilt mechanism of ±170º horizontally, 90º upward and 30º
downward, which enables wide-range remote shooting.
•The new pan/tilt mechanism enabling smooth camera movement even at low speed realizes a minimum pan/ tilt speed of 0.25º per second.
•The pan/tilt mechanism is remarkably quiet, even at the maximum pan/tilt speed of 60º per second.
Mega-pixel 3CCD camera allowing high image quality and high-resolution remote shooting
•The camera incorporates three 1/4.7 type Advanced HAD* CCDs containing 1,070,000 picture elements in total.
*HAD is an abbreviation of Hole-Accumulated Diode.
Advanced HAD is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
•The camera realizes the high-quality image and high resolution, having a minimum illumination of 7 lx, horizontal resolution of 600 TV lines, and signal-to- noise ratio of more than 50 dB. In addition, the use of a primary-color optical prism enables shooting with superior color reproduction.
•A fine image is obtained by employing a newlydeveloped DSP of 14-bit A/D conversion for signal processing. This also greatly reduces digital noise and is effective for shooting at low illumination and shooting of black subjects.
•The aspect ratio of the camera image is selectable between 4:3 or 16:9. In addition, an optional wide conversion lens can be attached to the camera, allowing use in various shooting conditions.
Built-in interface card slot
The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for the optional BRBK-301 Analog RGB Component Card, BRBK-302 SDI Card or BRBK-303 Optical Multiplex Card. Use of these interface cards gives the camera the capability of having various image output formats.
Long-distance image transmission and pan/tilt/zoom control
•Combined use of the BRBK-303 Optical Multiplex Card, CCFC-M100 Optical Fiber Cable and BRU300/300P Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony's unique camera connection technology and optical digital multiplex transmission technology allows short to long distance (up to 500 m, or 1,640 feet) transmission of camera images and pan/tilt/zoom control signals. Use of the optical fiber cable enables an economical and easy system configuration for long distance.
•The supplied ceiling bracket allows installation of the camera on a ceiling.
VISCA camera protocol supported
•The camera is equipped with both RS-232C and RS422 communication interfaces. As the camera supports the industry-standard VISCA camera protocol, up to 7 cameras can be connected and remotely controlled at a high communication speed of 38,400 bps.
•The optional RM-BR300 Remote Control Unit allows easy camera operations.
•The VISCA protocol allows use of cameras and controllers of other manufacturers together with those of Sony.
External video sync function
The camera is equipped with an external video sync function to synchronize the camera images on multiple cameras. The camera also has a composite video output connector and S video output connector as standard equipment.
Tally lamp
The tally lamp of the camera allows you to make sure it is selected at a glance.
Mounted circuit board using lead-free solder
Lead-free solder is used for the circuit boards of the camera for environmental reasons.
