Add a high-definition 4K PTZ camera to your e-sport production, classroom, reality TV show, or remote corporate meeting space with this black from Sony. The compact box-style digital camera features an 8.5MP 1/2.5" CMOS sensor that can capture up to UHD 4K60 video for output over HDMI. Its lens features a 25x optical zoom with a 4.8 to 120mm (28 to 694 35mm equivalent) focal length, so you can capture a wide area when the camera is very close to the subject or zoom in close when you are farther away. If you pair it with the separately available SRG-XP1, you can add a POV-style camera to your switched production.
The camera allows you to record up to 8-bit 4:4:4 video up to UHD 4K60 via the HDMI 2.0 output, and you can stream via its RJ45 LAN port using RTMP/RTSP protocols as well as with a Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) option. You can also embed or de-embed analog audio using 3.5mm input and output jacks. There is also a tally light on the front of the camera, so you can tell when the camera is live and recording.
To power the SRG-XB25, you can either plug the camera into mains power with the included power adapter, or you can utilize PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) using your local PoE-supported LAN to save power cable runs. You can control the camera via the RS-232 8-pin DIN I/O connectors using the VISCA serial protocol and a separately available serial controller, or you can utilize the Ethernet port for LAN control.
