Sony PTZ and operated cameras for rooms, studios and live production.
SRG and BRC PTZ cameras with the RM-IP500 controller, XDCAM camcorders and Cinema Line cameras. Varto quotes Sony cameras on their own or as part of a production system, and checks the lenses, outputs and control each position needs. We can install the cameras with the rest of your system and train the operators on the camera controls.

SRG PTZ cameras
PTZ for classrooms, chambers and sanctuaries.
First decide whether the camera should frame people on its own. The SRG-A40, SRG-A12 and SRG-AS10 have Sony PTZ Auto Framing; the SRG-XS10 is the SRG-AS10 without it, for positions an operator drives or recalls from presets.
4K30 · auto framing
SRG-A40 and SRG-A12
Auto framing for one presenter or a group of up to eight, with 4K30 over HDMI, HD over 3G-SDI and PoE++ power. The A40 has the longer lens for deep rooms and the A12 a 12x lens for smaller ones. NDI|HX is an optional license on both.
4K60 · NDI HX2 included
SRG-AS10 and SRG-XS10
A 10x lens, 4K60 over HDMI and NDI HX2, which comes pre-installed, HD over 3G-SDI, and RTMP or SRT streaming from the camera itself. The AS10 adds auto framing; the XS10 leaves it out.
production PTZ
Robotic cameras that cut with the rest of the show.
When a PTZ has to match operated cameras, look at the sensor and the outputs. The BRC-AM7 and the ILME-FR7 both output 12G-SDI and take genlock and timecode, and one RM-IP500 can drive several of them.
1.0-type sensor · 20x
BRC-AM7
4K60 with a 20x optical lens and auto framing, 12G-SDI plus an SFP+ optical output, two XLR inputs, and NDI|HX pre-installed.
full-frame · E-mount
ILME-FR7
A Cinema Line full-frame sensor with interchangeable E-mount lenses, for a shallow-focus look from a robotic position. The lens you choose sets the shot and much of the cost.
joystick controller
RM-IP500
Runs up to 100 compatible BRC, SRG and FR7 cameras over IP, or seven over RS-422, with up to 100 presets. Some cameras need a firmware update for every feature.
operated cameras
When someone runs the camera.
An XDCAM camcorder is the simplest operated position: built-in zoom lens, XLR audio, SDI and streaming in one body. A Cinema Line camera is for interchangeable lenses and a more cinematic picture.
1.0-type · 20x
PXW-Z200
A compact XDCAM camcorder with a 20x lens, 12G-SDI with timecode, and RTMP or SRT streaming from the camera.
three-chip · 17x
PXW-Z300
Three 1/2-type 4K sensors and a 17x lens that holds F1.9 through the zoom, with 12G-SDI and HDMI out at once.
full-frame · 12G-SDI
ILME-FX6
Full-frame Cinema Line camera with built-in variable ND, XLR audio, timecode and 12G-SDI for a live switcher. It has no genlock input, so the switcher frame-syncs it.
compact · HDMI
ILME-FX3A and ILME-FX30
Compact E-mount bodies for gimbal and second-camera work, full-frame (FX3A) or Super 35 (FX30). HDMI out only, so an SDI production adds a converter.
