Q: 1. Does this have auto-tracking of subjects or faces?

A: No auto-tracking feature is currently published by the manufacturer, but because this camera's firmware is easily upgraded via its IP, there may be some future firmware addendums along the way, which may address subject/face tracking.

Q: 2. We have this camera wired 422 to RM-BR300. Controls movement and can set presets but no control over white balance and gain. What are we doing wrong?

A: Sony BRC-X1000/WPW 4K PTZ Camera with 1" CMOS Sensor and PoE+ (White) Color balance is a parameter handled via the on-screen menu. Use the IR remote.Data Screen Color.

Q: 3. Can filters be screwed on the the lens?

A: They cannot. You can not screw filters to this camera's lens.

Q: 4. Could I Control the BRC-X1000 with a Panasonic AW RP120? I would assume over IP connection.

A: No you cannot. Panasonic and Sony use different protocols for control therefore Panasonic Controllers can not control Sony Cameras.

Q: 5. does this camera require shielded CAT6 or higher?

A: You will need to use Cat 5e or higher rated cables. Using Shielded cable will be a good idea for installation purposes, but not necessary.

Q: 6. How can white balance be calibrated? I've heard complaints.

A: This camera offers two AUTO White Balance settings which you can adjust the speed at which it changes the balance. It also offers presets for Indoors and Outdoors. Finally it has a ONE PUSH White Balance and Manual White Balance.

Q: 7. What is the CAT6 distance limit? What is the SDI limit?

A: CAT6 cable length limit for IP control is 100 meters (328 ft.), 3500 ft. for RS-422 control. SDI cable length limit depends on the cable type which is dictated by the signal SD, HD, 4K etc, etc you are sending. So that we my further assist you, please email us. provideo@bhphoto.com.

Q: 8. Is there an online software that I may be able to connect via IP from outside the network to control the cameras?

A: While does offer software to control this camera, we are not aware of it being operable from outside of the network the cameras are installed within.

Q: 9. Did Sony make this camera so it can zoom slower than the BRC-H800? It was not possible to zoom slow enough with that camera to get professional results. I was wondering if the engineers ironed that out in this unit. Thanks!

A: Hello, James! The BRC-X1000 has a much slower zoom capability. The issue with the H900 is that if you tried to zoom slower, then the lens becomes unstable. If you are using the X1000 and put the camera into ramp mode 3 and you combine with the RMIP500 (with its variable speed zoom control), you can do on air zooms that the H900 cannot. ~Zac

Q: 10. Can this camera be used with the Sony IR-IP10 controller?

A: This camera is compatible with the RM-IP10 and the RM-IP500 controllers
