Sony BRC-X1000 Reviews

Fantastic Robotic Cam

By Dave
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2019-03-13

The flexibility of this camera cannot be understated. The image quality and ease of use are astounding. The sensor cropping zoom is seamless when shooting in HD, and it allows the camera to compete with other manufacturers cameras on zoom distance. I have never been able to notice the point that it changes from optical to digital zoom. Things they can improve upon: -desperately needs an easy connection point for a safety cable. -12G-SDI outputs on each bnc.

Does this have auto-tracking of subjects or faces?
Asked by: Kevin
No auto-tracking feature is currently published by the manufacturer, but because this camera's firmware is easily upgraded via its IP, there may be some future firmware addendums along the way, which may address subject/face tracking.

No you cannot. Panasonic and Sony use different protocols for control therefore Panasonic Controllers can not control Sony Cameras.

Hi Ramey, When connecting the camera to a PoE+ power supply device use a Category 5e or higher. It is also important to make sure the wires are solid copper core and NOT CCAW (Cooper Clad Aluminum Wire). ~Ralph

What is the maximum distance when filming 1920 X 1080P?

For maximum distance, if you mean the maximum distance that a SDI cable can support at 1080p, that would be about 100 meters (or about 330 feet).
