The Sony SRG-X400 is a remotely controlled PTZ camera with a 1/2.5-type Exmor R sensor, up to 30x zoom in 4K and 40x in Full HD, and a horizontal view of about 70 degrees. It streams over RTSP, RTMP(S) and SRT, supports NDI|HX with a separate licence, and can be powered by PoE+. Sony has discontinued this model, so SmartRooms Qatar quotes current equivalents for lecture halls, classrooms and meeting rooms across Qatar.
What the SRG-X400 does in a room
The Sony SRG-X400 is a remotely controlled pan-tilt-zoom camera built for fixed installations, where an operator or a control system frames the speaker from a distance. Sony has discontinued this model. This page is written for organisations that already run one, buyers comparing it with newer PTZ cameras, and anyone who needs a replacement that works in a similar way. SmartRooms Qatar can quote a current equivalent or a compatible replacement.
Sensor, zoom and framing
The image starts with a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor with approximately 8.5 million effective pixels. Zoom reaches 30x when shooting 4K and 40x in Full HD with Clear Image Zoom, and 4K output requires the optional 4K licence. The focal length runs from 4.4 mm at wide to 88.0 mm at tele, with an aperture of F2.0 to F3.8, and the horizontal viewing angle is approximately 70 degrees. The minimum illumination of 1.6 lux suits dimmed lecture halls, though the camera should still be tested in the actual room.
Movement is quick. Maximum pan speed is 300 degrees per second and maximum tilt speed is 126 degrees per second. The camera stores 256 presets in CGI mode or 100 in VISCA mode. Picture Freeze Preset holds a steady image while the camera moves between presets, and PTZ Motion Sync blends pan, tilt and zoom movements into smoother transitions. Pan range is plus or minus 170 degrees and tilt runs from +90 to -20 degrees.
IP streaming and NDI|HX integration
The camera encodes H.264 and H.265 at up to 60 frames per second, with IP video up to 3840x2160. It supports three streams at once and up to five clients, using RTSP, RTMP(S) and SRT. RTMP(S) and SRT require firmware V3.00. NDI|HX lets the camera join a network of other NDI-enabled devices once a licence is bought separately, which suits school studio builds. Two microphone inputs accept mini-phone connectors with mic or line selection, and audio is embedded in the IP stream.
Where it fits in Qatar
- School studio in Al Rayyan: a private school fitting out a small production room for recording lessons and assemblies, feeding the signal through HDMI, 3G-SDI or NDI|HX.
- Boardroom in West Bay: a company meeting room where saved presets frame the presenter, the table and a wide shot, with the camera operated from a touch panel or the IR remote.
- Training room in Msheireb: a clinic or healthcare training centre recording procedures and briefings, where a steady image during preset moves matters to viewers.
Operating temperature is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, so this camera belongs in air-conditioned rooms. Avoid window positions that receive direct sun and any outdoor location, because Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45 degrees Celsius.
Planning the installation
Ceiling mounting is supported, and two ceiling brackets and a wire rope are supplied. The mounting angle must stay within less than plus or minus 15 degrees, so check the alignment before fixing. The camera measures 158.4 x 177.5 x 200.2 mm and weighs approximately 1.8 kg. A free site survey helps confirm sightlines, cable routes and the power method, either PoE+ to IEEE 802.3at or the supplied AC adaptor.
