January 30, 2023, Weybridge, UK — Sony is expanding its range of PTZ cameras with the addition of two 4K models with built-in AI-based analytics. The SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 camerasThey automatically and consistently track and naturally frame presenters, regardless of their movement or posture, to create and control flawless content—all without the need for a PC. New PTZ auto framing technology enables fast tracking and framing of objects with a multitude of options. Highlights of the cameras include image quality with automation, IP flexibility, powerful zoom, remote control, and ease of setup and use. They are ideal for use in educational, corporate, medical, government, broadcast, and religious applications, as well as live events.

“Our latest PTZ cameras certainly represent a new generation,” says Claire Lam, Director of Network Camera Solutions at Sony Professional Europe. “As well as delivering the image quality that is Sony’s trademark, these powerful new models are made even smarter with the addition of built-in AI-based analytics that enable PTZ auto framing, along with all the possibilities that remote control offers. remote. Our customers have told us that the way they capture content (and even where they capture it from) has changed dramatically in recent years. We’ve listened to your feedback and have created a new easy-to-use series that allows freedom of assembly,

Intelligent automation: automatic PTZ framing

New to this series of advanced cameras is Sony’s integrated PTZ auto-framing technology with AI-based analytics, which improves ease of use and productivity. Multiple auto framing angles allow you to perfectly capture close-ups, waist-up or full-length images, offering greater creative freedom and customization options. With automatic operation, the cameras start up as soon as they are turned on, searching for an object to track and focus on. A combination of advanced and consistent recognition technologies is employed, including facial recognition that can even detect faces wearing masks. A new user-friendly tally indicator allows users to easily identify which camera is active by tracking movements.

Excellent image quality

Both the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 cameras feature a high-sensitivity Exmor R™ CMOS sensor for high-quality, vivid yet natural images and reduced noise with 4K 30p and Full HD 60p support. The SRG-A40 offers Clear Image Zoom technology that doubles optical zoom from 20x to 30x in 4K or 40x in Full HD, while the SRG-A12 offers up to 12x zoom. With teleconversion mode, the SRG-A40 can zoom up to 80x, while the SRG-A12you can zoom up to 24x, all while delivering fast, fluid PTZ movement between cameras. Day and night modes help optimize capture in terms of brightness and shadows.

Flexible and stable production

The new models offer 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP connectivity (NDI®|HX available via optional license)[1] and can be remotely controlled via VISCA/VISCA over IP with a single network cable for power, output and control. They also include PoE++, allowing for simplified integration into new or existing environments without separate power cabling. With robust connection and integration options, the new series leverages the distinctive ability of PTZ cameras to provide capture and control even in hard-to-reach places, while offering new angles and viewpoints. Support for RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) enables remote viewing, while SRT (Security Reliable Transport) provides secure, smooth and stable video transmission.

Simple setup and operation

In addition to their easy integration and installation, the cameras are easy to set up and use for operators with different levels of experience. With the Image Settings Store feature, users can quickly configure and duplicate menu settings from one camera to another, providing consistency and greater familiarity of use. The PTZ motion synchronization function of the new models enables smooth and fast PTZ movement to a target position with a maximum range of pan/tilt angles of ±170°. Preset recall enables quick transitions from one camera to other preset angles to capture important moments. An image freeze preset can also be used to fix the last image captured while moving the camera, allowing you to eliminate blurry transactions and minimize distractions. In addition, the virtual webcam driver software can turn up to five connected cameras into collaborative conferencing and presentation tools via a PC to deliver professional image quality during Internet meetings.

The SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 cameras are expected to be available in summer 2023 at a price of €4,300 for the SRG-A40 camera and €3,600 for the SRG-A12 . The new models will be unveiled at ISE, at Sony’s stand 3E400 in hall 3. For more information, visit pro.sony/ISE.

*Sony’s Edge Analytics Appliance, REA-C1000, will support the PTZ auto framing feature via a firmware update in 2023. An auto tracking license, REA-L0200, is required.
