Sony SRG-A12 Overview

Capture natural-looking camera movements even without an operator using the white SRG-A12 4K PTZ Camera with Built-In AI from Sony. Equipped with a 1/2.5" Exmor R CMOS sensor and 12x optical zoom, this camera harnesses powerful AI-driven analytics to automatically frame and track your subject within the frame. Full Body, Waist, and Close-Up modes enable you to select the best option for your event, with center, left, and right angles available for each mode.

A tally lamp that changes from red (On-Air) to green (Auto-Framing On) lets you easily keep track of the camera's status mode. In addition to the 12x optical zoom, the SRG-A12 offers a 24x Clear Image Zoom function that increases the magnification without reducing resolution. Additional pro functions like high-speed pan and tilt, 256 camera presets, autofocus, auto exposure, and white balance ensure you can capture just the look you want for your PTZ presentations.

Integrated AI Analytics
  • Powerful AI-powered video analytics enable the SRG-A12 PTZ camera to automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the frame.
  • As the presenter moves, the camera's pan/tilt/zoom mechanism frames them naturally.
  • Eliminates the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.
  • Automatically detects and tracks your subject even when others are present in the same frame.
