maintain optimum performance, we recommend
periodic maintenance. If abnormal noise occurs, consult
your Sony dealer.
Precautions
Camera function setting
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
– Exposed to direct sunlight, or close to hot 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
• Use of a mobile phone close to this camera may cause
a malfunction of the camera or affect the quality of
images. You are cautioned to turn off any mobile
phone near the camera.
• Never expose the lens to the sun or other strong
light source.
Exposing the lens to the sun or other strong light
source may cause damage to internal parts. When the
camera is not being used, keep it out of direct sunlight
and other strong light, or protect it with a lens cover.
°C to 40 °C [32 °F to 104 °F])
Before setting the function of the camera such as pan/
tilt, angle of view, zooming, etc., install the camera
suitably and fix the camera securely. If you change the
camera’s installation after setting functions, differences
may arise on the setting.
Recording an image
Make sure that the image is displayed correctly. If the
image is not displayed correctly (the image is distorted,
etc.), turn the camera off, then on again.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage a CMOS image sensor. You are
cautioned that the surface of a CMOS image sensor should
not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an environment
where a laser beam device is used.
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.
The pan/tilt mechanism
Do not disturb pan/tilt movement while power is
supplied to the camera. Doing so may cause damage or
malfunction.
Do not touch the camera casing, the lens, or any part of
the camera, when energized. It may cause a malfunction
of the camera.

Precautions
Phenomena Specific to
CMOS Image Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in images are
specific to CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) image sensors. They do not indicate
malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are produced with
high-precision technologies, fine white flecks may be
generated on the screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic
rays, etc. This is related to the principle of CMOS image
sensors and is not a malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases:
• when operating at a high ambient temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
The white flecks may be reduced by turning the camera
off, then on again.
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they may
appear jagged or flicker.
Focal plane
Owing to the characteristics of the pickup elements
(CMOS image sensors) for reading video signals,
subjects that quickly move across the screen may appear
slightly skewed.
Getting Started
Flash band
If you shoot a strobe or quick-flashing light, brightness
may differ between the upper and lower halves of the
picture.
Flicker
If recording under lighting produced by discharge tubes,
such as fluorescent, sodium, or mercury-vapor lamps,
the screen may flicker, colors may vary, or horizontal
stripes may appear distorted. In such cases, turn the
FLICKER CANCEL function on (see page 37).
Depending on lighting types, etc., such phenomena may
not be improved with the FLICKER CANCEL function.
It is recommend to set the shutter speed to 1/100 sec. in
the areas of 50 Hz power supply frequency and to 1/60
in the areas of 60 Hz.

Overview
Features
Built-in HD/SD-SDI output
• SDI output is available without inserting an optional
Interface Card. By operating the switch on the camera,
you can output an HD-SDI signal conforming to
SMPTE 292 serial digital interface standards, or
output an SD-SDI signal conforming to SMPTE
259M serial digital interface standards.
Compact, HD 3CMOS video camera with
Overview
built-in pan/tilt/zoom functions
• This HD 3CMOS video camera integrates a camera
block equipped with three 1/2-type Exmor CMOS
sensors, a pan/tilt mechanism, and a 14-magnification
optical zoom lens in a compact body. The
compactness and integration allow versatile usage of
the camera.
• 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 pan/tilt mechanism enabling smooth camera
movement even at low speed, realizes a minimum pan/
tilt speed of 0.22º per second.
• The pan/tilt mechanism is remarkably quiet, even at
the maximum pan/tilt speed of 60º per second.
Built-in down-converted output
The camera is equipped with video output connectors,
allowing HD
Interface Card. You can use the connectors for SD
output now and for HD output in the future.
1)
“HD” indicates high-definition broadcast with 1,080
or 720 effective scanning lines.
2)
“SD” indicates standard-definition broadcast
(conventional television).
1)
or SD2) output without inserting an
Built-in interface card slot
The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for
the optional BRBK-SF1 HD Optical Multiplex Card,
BRBK-HSD2 HD/SD-SDI Output Card, and BRBKSA1 Analog SD Output Card. Use of these Interface
Cards gives the camera the capability of having versatile
image output formats.
HD CMOS camera with high image quality
and high-resolution remote shooting
• The 3CMOS camera system that incorporates 1/2-type
CMOS image sensors with a total of 2,070,000 (1920
× 1080) picture elements allows the shooting of highdefinition images, providing superior picture quality
with high sensitivity and lower smear level.
• Shooting an image using the 1080i (effective
interlaced scanning: 1080 lines) high-definition
format, which is equivalent to the HDTV broadcast, is
enabled. The HD format can be switched (1080/59.94i
or 1080/50i) with the switch at the bottom of the
camera.
• A volume of information four times the capacity of a
normal TV broadcast and camera image shot in 16:9
aspect ratio provides a theater-like wide screen
picture.
Compatible with HD multi-format output
• The camera is compatible with the 720p (effective
interlaced scanning: 720 lines) format in addition to
the 1080i format. You can select the format by the
switch on the bottom of the camera. You can also
switch between 720/59.94p format and 720/50p
format by the switch on the bottom of the camera.
Long-distance image transmission and
pan/tilt/zoom control
• Combined use of the BRBK-SF1 HD Optical
Multiplex Card, CCFC-S200 Optical Fiber Cable and
BRU-SF10 Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony unique
camera connection technology and optical digital
multiplex transmission technology, allows a long
distance transmission of camera images up to 2,000 m
(6,562 feet) 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 brackets allow installation of the
camera on a ceiling or a shelf, etc., in a high position.
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 seven 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.
