Sony Electronics is expanding its PTZ camera line-up with the introduction of the new SRG-X40UH. The camera adopts 4K Exmor R CMOS image sensor and is designed for 4K images alongside increased zoom capability with a wide viewing angle, UVC and HDMI connectivity. (4K 30p image is supported via HDMI. Full HD 60p is supported via UVC.) It is planned to ship in North America in November 2022.
The camera is designed for remote communication and monitoring in a wide range of markets, which have seen strong growth in the last couple of years, such as corporate, education and healthcare. Designed for simple functionality and interface connection, it is suited to live streaming video.
“As an affordable 4K PTZ camera, the SRG-X40UH will deliver outstanding detail and high-quality imagery, natural color reproduction and high sensitivity that captures facial or other relevant details in remote communications situations, even in low light. In addition, oversampling from 4K will deliver excellent image quality even in FHD,” Sony’s announcement states.
A zoom up to 40x in FHD and 30x in 4K with the Clear Image Zoom technology (optical zoom capability is 20x) combined with an approximately 70-degree wide viewing angle is designed to complement rapid and smooth PTZ movement. A ceiling mounting option allows this camera to capture scenes in small conference rooms or large auditoriums.
The SRG-X40UH, with its UVC and HDMI connections and PoE+ support, can be integrated into existing systems with minimum cabling, and remotely controlled through a VISCA/VISCA over IP command.
“Over the past two years, the world has witnessed and adapted to drastic changes in the way we work and learn. Such circumstances have created a pressing demand for efficient remote communication tools like our new SRG-X40UH PTZ camera, which multiple users can access anytime, anywhere with high reliability,” says Theresa Alesso, President, Imaging Products & Solutions Americas, Sony Electronics. “Sony has driven the adoption of 4K technologies for many years, and more now than ever, the additional detail is providing customers and audiences with superior image quality and more options for creativity.”
