A Camera that Automatically and Naturally Shoots Video for You
With the advanced PTZ Auto Framing feature, the camera automatically tracks the person in a comfortable viewing with smooth pan, tilt and zoom movement regardless of posture, movement and what one is wearing.
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 and zoom mechanism ensures that the presenter is always framed naturally, without the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements.
With Sony’s newly developed AI analytics algorithm, it detects the person’s skeleton and head position and matches the person’s detail features even when there are several people in the frame. It achieves accurate framing and consistent tracking.
When using PTZ Auto Framing to track a person, the composition is automatically adjusted to provide space in the direction of the subject’s gaze, depending on the orientation of the subject’s face. This enables tracking in a natural composition that is close to professional camera work.
Additionally, the size of the margin that can be set with the Lead Room Effect can be adjusted in three levels.
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).
