Sony introduced two new compact cameras – SRG-XP1 (POV) and SRG-XB25 (BOX) – that deliver high-quality images at 4K 60p alongside full IP connectivity, expanding its renowned remote camera line up.
With product availability starting in August 2020, users can select the wide-angle SRG-XP1 or the powerful optical zoom SRG-XB25, which offer new options for sites that are hard-to-access or where there is no space for a full sized camera and dedicated operator. The cameras are ideal for remote communication, monitoring and content production applications in a wide range of verticals such as corporate, education, healthcare, live broadcast and more.
Utilizing a single network cable, simple and cost-efficient set-up for power supply, image distribution and camera control is a reality with the SRG-XP1 and SRG-XB25, as they support full IP-based operation. Equipped with NDI|HX capability via optional license, both cameras offer unprecedented flexibility when working with other NDI-compatible hardware or software anywhere on the network. The cameras also support Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) and Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) for easy recording and distribution of video and audio.
The SRG-XP1 POV camera is capable of capturing video across a 100-degree wide horizontal viewing angle despite its compact, lightweight design. This is particularly useful for recording reality shows and in settings such as e-sports and remote meetings/discussions, where the entire location can be captured regardless of the installation position. On the other hand, the SRG-XB25 BOX camera is extremely useful for large spaces thanks to its powerful 25x optical zoom, capturing footage from a distance for events, lectures, seminars and faith applications.
With more than 20 years of technical expertise, Sony offers a range of remote cameras that are now widely used for remote teaching and communication purposes at universities and hospitals; for shooting and distributing content in government, corporate and faith-based facilities; and for remote production in event and broadcasting stations.
