Features
Pan/Tilt/Zoom CMOS video camera equipped with a small built-in pan-tilt head
- The camera unit is equipped with a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor and an optical zoom lens *1 with pan/tilt/zoom features integrated into a small built-in pan-tilt head. This versatile camera can be used for various applications.
- The pan-tilt head can pan to the right or left by 170 degrees and tilt upward to 90 degrees and downward to 20 degrees, which allows the camera to remotely shoot wide areas.
- The camera pans and tilts at a speed of between 0.5 and 101 degrees (maximum speed) per second, and it also pans and tilts at a maximum speed of 300 degrees per second in the preset operation.
Zoom performance for capturing distant subjects
For BRC-X400/X401 and SRG-X402, in addition to 20 × 1 optical zoom, it uses Sony's 2 × 2 Clear Image Zoom function and 2 × Tele Convert mode *2 to achieve the equivalent of up to 80x optical telephoto performance. Moreover, using digital zoom together achieves the equivalent of up to 480x telephoto performance.
Audio output
The camera is equipped with 2ch audio which is applicable for microphone/line input. Input audio signal is transmitted to HDMI/SDI simultaneously. Additionally, the signal is transmitted to the IP network by with the streaming function.
Video output
In addition to HDMI/SDI output, IP network transmission can be performed simultaneously by IP streaming function (SDI output does not support 4K).
For IP streaming function, ITU-T H.264/H.265 is applied to video compression mode (video codec) and it achieves high compression rate while keeping the image quality. Also, it decreases the network bandwidth load.
The network bandwidth load required for video transmission decreases.
Moreover, the camera supports multi-streaming output. Up to 3 codec modes can be selected.
Preset function
Up to 100 preset data can be stored in the VISCA command and up to 256 preset data in the CGI command.
On the PTZ Motion Sync function *3 , pan, tilt, and zoom work together to enable smooth preset operations.
Equipped with RS-422 interface
The camera is equipped with RS-422 interface which is the industry standard VISCA camera protocol in external communication.
Equipped with PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus)
The camera supports IEEE802.3at-compatible PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) and a single LAN cable is used for power supply and control.
Compatible with VISCA over IP protocol
An IP connection can be established between the camera and the remote controller.
Equipped with external video sync function (BRC-X400/X401)
The camera is equipped with an external video sync function to synchronize the camera images on multiple cameras.
Equipped with tally lamp (BRC-X400/X401)
The camera is equipped with a tally lamp that instantly distinguishes cameras in use.
Supports network connection with RCP/MSU (BRC-X400/X401)
Network connection to an optional remote control panel (RCP) or master setup unit (MSU) is supported.
Picture profile preset function (BRC-X400/X401)
Picture profile presets from PP1 to PP6 can be loaded. By using these presets, an image texture gets close to the one shot with other cameras with the picture profile function, and the camera creates an image texture similar to the one of cinematic film.

SSL tab (BRC-X400, SRG-X400/X120)

Configure the SSL or TLS function (called "SSL" hereafter). The settings allow the camera to communicate with the client computer by using SSL.
Notes
- When using the SSL function, always configure the settings after setting the date and time of the camera. If the date and time are not correctly set, it may cause web browser connection problems.
- Reload the window when you change the SSL setting. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.
SSL
Function
Select [Enable] to use the SSL function.
When [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients)] is selected, both HTTP and SSL connections are allowed. When [Enable] is selected, only SSL connection is allowed.
When Internet Explorer is used
When SSL session is established, it appears in the right of the address bar on your web browser.
When you use SSL connection for the first time
When you use SSL connection only by setting the SSL function to [Enable], you cannot access the camera if the SSL function does not work properly. In this case, you must reset the camera to the factory settings. (All settings will be initialized.)
To avoid this, check that SSL connection is possible by performing the following steps.
1 Set the SSL function to [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients)].
2 Click [OK] to close the web browser.
3 Display the viewer in SSL connection. For details, see "When the SSL Function is Used" (page 59).
4 After confirming that SSL connection is possible, set the SSL function to [Enable].
Even if the web browser is closed as SSL connection is impossible, HTTP connection will be possible if [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients)] is selected. First check the setting contents of SSL tab in HTTP connection, then check the SSL connection again.
If [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients)] is not selected, you will not be able to access the camera when SSL connection becomes impossible. In this case, press the reset switch on the camera for 5 seconds or longer to return to the factory default settings. For details, see page 9.
Note
SSL connection will load the camera down; therefore, not all images may be downloaded, and the mark may appear when the camera accesses from the web browser. In this case, reload the window. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.
SSL server authentication
Certificate options
Select an installation mode of the certificate.
[Use an external certificate]: Uses the certificate including private key information issued by a CA. The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are supported.
Note
SSL is not available when [Certificate options]-[Use an external certificate] is selected, or certificate and private key password is not set properly even SSL is set to [Enable].
[Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)]: This mode uses the certificate and private key pair generated by "Self-signed certificate generation" (page 84). Private key information corresponding to the certificate is stored in the camera. You do not need to install an external certificate. However, you cannot execute the existence proof that is one of the SSL functions for the following reasons. - The private key generated in the camera is self-signed by the camera. - A prepared value is set for a distinguished name (Common name, etc). - The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA. For reasons of security, we recommend using this mode only when there is no problem even if perfect security is not ensured, such as for operation test.
Notes
- When [Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)] is selected, the [Security Alert] dialog appears on the SSL connection with a web browser. For details, see "When the SSL Function is Used" (page 59).
- SSL connection may be impossible due to the type of certificate installed in the camera. In this case, refer to "To import the CA certificate" on page 87 and install.
- When [Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)] is selected, you may not be able to use SSL connection depending on the web browser or OS you are using.
