Sony BRC-AM7B 4K AI PTZ Auto Framing Camera with 20x Optical Zoom

Sony BRC-AM7 Advanced 4K PTZ Auto Framing Camera

The Sony BRC-AM7 Advanced PTZ Auto Framing Camera is engineered for modern broadcast, live production, and professional AV environments where precision, automation, and exceptional image quality are critical. Featuring a powerful 1.0-type Exmor RS CMOS sensor and Sony’s BIONZ XR image processing engine, the BRC-AM7 delivers stunning 4K video at up to 60p with lifelike color reproduction and low-noise performance. This advanced PTZ camera combines intelligent AI analytics with professional imaging technology, enabling high-quality production with fewer operators.

Designed for demanding professional workflows, the camera’s built-in AI PTZ Auto Framing system recognizes human subjects with remarkable accuracy using advanced pose, face, head, and clothing recognition. The system automatically adjusts pan, tilt, and zoom to maintain smooth and natural framing during presentations, sports events, broadcast productions, and conference environments. With 20x optical zoom, integrated variable ND filtering, and extensive network streaming capabilities, the Sony BRC-AM7 provides the flexibility and control required for professional video production and IP-based workflows.

Seamless integration with Sony production ecosystems ensures reliable multi-camera operation. Support for ITU709, 709tone, S-Cinetone, and S-Log3 allows easy color matching with Sony system cameras, while remote control compatibility through Ethernet using the S700PTP protocol enables detailed control from Sony remote panels and master setup units. Whether deployed in studios, auditoriums, houses of worship, sports venues, or corporate environments, the BRC-AM7 delivers consistent professional results.
