About the Sony SRG-XP1
Easily shoot and stream high-quality 4K 60p video with this space-saving point of view remote camera that covers the whole room with its wide field of view.
The SRG-XP1 POV (point of view) camera offers an accessible entry point into the world of 4K video production. It's ideal for 'unattended' video streaming in environments including e-sports venues and reality TV shows, classrooms, meeting space and hospital operating rooms where it can also serve as a high-quality secondary camera.
Compact dimensions and simple installation make the SRG-XP1 ideal for multi-camera set-ups with no need for dedicated camera operators. It can be used on walls, ceilings, tripods and shelves, as well as space-limited locations where it's costly or impractical to install large numbers of full-size cameras.
The wide angle lens offers a generous over 102° (with Distortion correction: 85°) field of view (horizontal), allowing the camera to see an entire subject, even from very close range. It can also capture the entire audience in a classroom or auditorium - even from tricky positions where it's hard to install an ordinary room camera.
Streaming video, power and camera control signals are all carried over a standard Ethernet cable, reducing installation costs and simplifying integration in today's IP networked production environments.
Features
Robust, stylish and compact
Measuring just 51.2 x 72.4 x 121.7 mm and weighing 417 g, the SRG-XP1 can be readily integrated into any environment. Upper and lower tripod mounts increase installation flexibility. Rear panel guards assure extra robustness, and the large, easy-to-read tally lamp is useful in multiple camera set-ups.
Wide field of view
The wide angle lens covers a generous over 102° (with Distortion correction: 85°) field of view (horizontal). As well as accommodating the presenter's entire face or body from close range without cropping, it can also cover the entire room, ensuring that everyone is visible in the frame.
Multiple streaming outputs
Streaming video available over HDMI, Ethernet and USB 3.0 interfaces offers even greater operational flexibility.
Easy IP connectivity, single-cable installation
Camera control, PoE and streaming video output are carried over a single Ethernet cable, reducing installation costs and simplifying integration in space-restricted or hard-to-reach locations. Full IP integration includes support for Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) and Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). Support for NDI ®|HX is also available via an optional licence.
High quality 4K 60p images
The camera's large 1/1.8-type Exmor R CMOS sensor captures smooth, crisply detailed 4K 60p video with excellent low-light sensitivity.?
Audio input
Connect an external microphone or line-level source to capture clear pictures plus sound in lecture theatres and meeting rooms or on reality TV shows.
Broadcast-style tally light
The camera-mounted tally light gives visual confirmation to the lecturer or presenter when the camera is active. The horizontal bar-style light is easily visible to both performer/presenter and director.
