SRG-X40UH

What the SRG-X40UH is built to do

The Sony SRG-X40UH is a remotely operated PTZ camera for rooms where one person must frame a speaker, a presenter or a demonstration from a distance and send a clean picture to a display, a conferencing system or a recording device. At its centre is a 1/2.5-type Exmor R CMOS sensor with approximately 8.5 million effective pixels. It captures 4K at 29.97p and 25p, and it can also produce a 1080p image that is oversampled from the 4K sensor for sharper HD output.

Zoom, field of view and low-light performance

The optical zoom is 20x, with a lens that runs from a 4.4 mm wide end to an 88.0 mm telephoto end at F2.0 to F3.8. Clear Image Zoom extends the reach to 30x in 4K and 40x in FHD. At the wide end the horizontal viewing angle is approximately 70 degrees, enough to show an entire room. The camera needs only 1.6 lux at 50 IRE with high-sensitivity switched off, and its Day/Night function moves between full colour and black-and-white so that dim meeting rooms stay readable.

Movement, control and cabling

Pan covers ±170 degrees and tilt runs from +90 to -20 degrees. Top pan speed is 300 degrees per second, and a slow mode is available for gentle framing changes during a live session. Sony rates pan and tilt operation noise at NC30 or less under its measurement conditions. Up to 100 presets can be stored through VISCA control. Control runs over VISCA RS-422, VISCA over IP on an RJ-45 port, or the supplied IR remote commander, and power can arrive through a single LAN cable using PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).

Where it fits in Qatar

• A university lecture hall in Education City where the lecturer moves across the front of the room, the camera follows a stored preset and the feed goes to the room display through HDMI.
• A government boardroom in Msheireb or West Bay where officials join meetings with colleagues abroad. The USB Type-C port provides a UVC video source for a laptop or conferencing codec.
• A hospital or clinic training room in Doha where a demonstration is followed from a fixed ceiling position, so staff do not need to move equipment during the session.

The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C, so the camera belongs in air-conditioned rooms. External walls, sunlit atriums and unconditioned lobbies can exceed 45 °C during Qatar summers, so they need a different plan or an environment check with the SmartRooms Qatar team before installation.

What to plan before you order

Choose the mount first. The camera can sit on a desk or be fixed to the ceiling with the two supplied ceiling brackets, and the mounting angle must stay within less than ±15 degrees. At roughly 1.6 kg and 158.4 x 177.5 x 200.2 mm, it is compact, but a ceiling position should be checked on site. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to confirm sight lines, cable routes and the minimum object distance of 80 mm at wide and 800 mm at tele. Power comes from the supplied AC adaptor or a PoE+ port, with a maximum consumption of 25.5 W.
