Sony SRG-A12/N 12x PTZ Camera with NDI License, Black

Sony SRG-A12/N 12x PTZ Camera with NDI License, Black

A Camera that Automatically and Naturally Shoots Video for you
With the advanced PTZ Auto Framing feature, the camera automatically tracks the target in a comfortable viewing with smooth Pan-Tilt-Zoom movement, regardless of posture, movement and what one is wearing.

Since the camera does most of the work automatically, the operator can spend their time efficiently.

PTZ Auto Framing with built-in AI analytics
This camera harnesses powerful AI-powered video analytics that can automatically detect and track the position of a presenter within the camera frame. As the presenter moves, the camera’s pan/tilt/zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.

Automatically and reliably shoots video for you
With Sony’s newly developed AI analytics algorithm, it detects the subject’s skeleton and head position and matches the subject’s detail features even when there are several people in the frame. It achieves accurate framing and consistent tracking.

Choice of three shooting modes
The camera has a choice of three shooting modes; Full body, Waist, and Close-up. In each mode, you can adjust picture composition (size, up & down, and left & right) and the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 can automatically track and keep the subject in the selected optimal position.

Integrated tally lamp
The SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 feature a built-in tally lamp, just like you’d find on professional studio cameras. The lamp illuminates to give presenters visual confirmation of shooting status, or to show that PTZ Auto Framing mode is active. The lamp color will change from Red (On Air) to Green (PTZ Auto Framing ON).

High speed pan/tilt
Speedy, precise pan/tilt operation ensures that the camera can accurately keep track of the presenter’s movements.

Wide angle zoom lens
As well as powerful close-ups, the camera can capture broad shots of the presenter or audience with a wide field of view.

Powerful Zoom, wide angle
Integrated high-resolution lens offers zoom capability up to 40x (FHD) or 30x (4K) with Clear Image Zoom for SRG-A40 and 12x for SRG-A12, with an expansive approx. 70° wide angle coverage to capture every point of view.

PTZ Auto Framing
Automatically track a person with Pan, Tilt, and Zoom movement regardless of posture, movement and what one is wearing, while framing the subject naturally for comfortable viewing.
