The Sony BRC-H800 is a Full HD pan-tilt-zoom camera built for unattended broadcast and AV work. Its 1.0-type sensor and 12x optical zoom capture 1080p at 60 frames per second, with low-light capability down to 1.7 lux. It offers two 3G-SDI outputs, HDMI, PoE+ and VISCA over IP control, making it suited to lecture theatres, auditoriums and multi-camera production rooms across Qatar where one operator runs the shots.
Broadcast-grade Full HD for a camera one person can run
The Sony BRC-H800 is a robotic pan-tilt-zoom camera. An operator frames shots from a control room or desk, so the camera can sit in a ceiling corner or other discreet position where a conventional camera operator cannot. Its 1.0-type back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, with approximately 14.2 megapixels of effective pixels, outputs Full HD 1080 at 60p for fast-moving action, and it can switch to 24p for a film-like look.
Zoom, lens and low-light performance
The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens covers a focal length from 9.3 mm to 111.6 mm, which is 12x optical zoom. The aperture runs from F2.8 at wide to F4.5 at tele. Clear Image Zoom extends reach to 24x in HD, and Tele Convert Mode doubles it again to 48x while keeping 1920x1080 resolution. The camera captures colour video at light levels as low as 1.7 lux, which suits lecture theatres and halls where lights are dimmed during presentations.
Control, movement and connectivity
Pan runs ±170° and tilt covers +90° to -30°, with pan and tilt speeds from 0.3° to 60° per second in normal mode. The camera stores 100 preset positions, and PTZ Trace Memory records movement sequences. Operating noise is rated at NC30 or less under Sony's measurement conditions. Control is available through the supplied IR remote commander, VISCA RS-422, or VISCA over IP. The optional RM-IP500 Remote Control Unit can manage several cameras from one point.
- Two 3G-SDI outputs and one HDMI output, with genlock input on BNC
- PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) with DC 10.8 V to 13.2 V alternative
- Dual tally lamps on the front and rear of the body
- Free-d tracking data output for VR and AR setups, with firmware V2.10
Where it fits in Qatar
A university lecture theatre in Education City can record and stream lectures with one operator and a fixed ceiling camera, so the instructor stays in frame without a second camera crew. A government conference hall or corporate auditorium in Lusail or Msheireb can use the camera for hybrid meetings that connect Doha with teams abroad, with the operator framing speakers from the control room. A private school hall in Al Rayyan can capture assemblies and performances on a ceiling bracket, keeping floor space clear.
The operating range tops out at 40 °C, while Qatar summer temperatures often exceed 45 °C. Keep the camera in air-conditioned rooms and avoid exposed or unshaded positions. Confirm the environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team before mounting.
What to plan before ordering
- Ceiling or wall structure and load, given the body weighs approximately 4.3 kg
- Mounting angle limited to less than ±15 degrees
- Power route: PoE+ at 23.0 W maximum, or a DC 12 V supply at 19.0 W maximum
- AC power supply and cord sold separately in regions outside US and Canada
- Cable routing for 3G-SDI, HDMI and the VISCA over IP control network
