Getting Started
Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image Sensors
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
– 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
• 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.
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.
°C to 40°C [32°F to 104°F])
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 environmental temperature
• when you have raised the gain (sensitivity)
This symptom may be improved by turning the camera
off and 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
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 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.
Flicker
If recording is made 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 34).
In some cases, 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
shooting of high-definition images for various
shooting situations.
• Adoption of a 20-magnification optical zoom lens that
enables zooming without deterioration in picture
quality allows realistic high-definition images.

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 ClearVid CMOS image
sensors, a pan/tilt mechanism, and a 20-magnification
optical/4-magnification digital zoom lens 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 0.22º per second.
• The pan/tilt mechanism is remarkably quiet, even at
the maximum pan/tilt speed of 60º per second.
The camera is equipped with video output connectors,
allowing HD
Interface Board. You can use the connectors for SD
output at the moment and use them for HD output in the
future.

Built-in interface card slot
The camera is equipped with an interface card slot for
the optional BRBK-HSD1 HD/SD-SDI Output Card
and BRBK-MF1 HD Optical Multiplex Card. Use of
these Interface Boards gives the camera the capability of
having versatile image output formats.
HD CMOS camera with high image quality
and high-resolution remote shooting
• The newly developed 3CMOS camera system that
incorporates 1/4-type ClearVid CMOS image sensors
with a total of 1,120,000 picture elements allows
shooting of high-definition 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 of 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.
Excellent optical performance allowing
superior quality shooting
• Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar ® T* lens is adopted. Use of
the multi-reflection reduction coating minimizes
unnecessary light reflection inside the lens and
significantly reduces flare and ghost to provide a
realistic image with high contrast and superior color
reproduction.
• The lens has a focal length of 37.4 mm to 748 mm
(equivalent to a 35-mm camera). Using the optional
Long-distance image transmission and
pan/tilt/zoom control
• Combined use of the BRBK-MF1 HD Optical
Multiplex Card, CCFC-M100HG Optical Fiber Cable
and BRU-H700 Optical Multiplex Unit, and Sony’s
unique camera connection technology and optical
digital multiplex transmission technology allows a
long distance transmission of camera images up to
1,000 m (3,281 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 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.

Notes
• The video signal delay in this system is caused by signal processing in the HFBK-TS1 HDV Interface Board. If you
are uncomfortable with the delay, output the video signal via the RGB/COMPONENT connector on the BRU-H700.
• You cannot operate pan/tilt and zoom with HDV video equipment connected to the i.LINK (HDV) OUT connector
on the HFBK-TS1 HDV Interface Board. Use the VISCA RS-232C or VISCA RS-422 connectors instead.
• Use AUDIO DELAY in the HDV menu of the camera to compensate for the delay between the video signal of the
camera and the audio signal input to the HFBK-TS1 HDV Interface Board (see page 41). The delay is adjustable by
STEP (approx. 24 mS).
