Sony announces two 4k IP-based pan-tilt-zoom cameras

PARAMUS, N.J. – Sony Electronics is adding to their lineup of pan-zoom-tilt (PTZ) cameras with two new 4K models with built-in AI analytics.

The new offerings are the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 models. Sony said that the cameras automatically and consistently track, and naturally frame presenters, regardless of movement or posture. This allows the user to have seamless content creation and control without the need for a computer. This is thanks to the new Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Auto Framing technology which features automatic operation for quick object tracking and rediscovery, as well as multiple Auto Framing options.

"Our latest PTZ cameras truly represent a new generation," said Rich Ventura, Vice President of Professional Display Solutions, Sony Electronics. "While they incorporate the image quality that is Sony's bedrock, these efficient new models are even smarter than ever with the addition of built-in AI analytics which enable PTZ Auto Framing, paired with the potential resulting from remote control. Our customers have told us that the way in which they capture content – and even the location from which they do it – has changed drastically over the last few years. We listened and created a new user-friendly series that enables mounting freedom, prioritizes location-free operation and creates a streamlined workflow that empowers operators with varying degrees of expertise to create extremely professional content while keeping operating costs down."

Highlights for the cameras include image quality with automation, flexibility of IP, powerful zoom, remote control, and easy configuration and operation. Sony stated that the SRG-A40 and SRG-A12 are expected to be available in North America by September, 2023.
