Sony SRG-A12 4K PTZ Camera with Built-In AI and 12x Optical Zoom

Capture natural-looking camera movements even without an operator using the white SRG-A12 4K PTZ Camera with Built-In AI from Sony. Equipped with a 1/2.5" Exmor R CMOS sensor and 12x optical zoom, this camera harnesses powerful AI-driven analytics to automatically frame and track your subject within the frame. Full Body, Waist, and Close-Up modes enable you to select the best option for your event, with center, left, and right angles available for each mode.

A tally lamp that changes from red (On-Air) to green (Auto-Framing On) lets you easily keep track of the camera's status mode. In addition to the 12x optical zoom, the SRG-A12 offers a 24x Clear Image Zoom function that increases the magnification without reducing resolution. Additional pro functions like high-speed pan and tilt, 256 camera presets, autofocus, auto exposure, and white balance ensure you can capture just the look you want for your PTZ presentations.

Integrated AI Analytics

Powerful AI-powered video analytics enable the SRG-A12 PTZ camera to automatically detect and track the presenter's position within the frame. As the presenter moves, the camera's pan, tilt and zoom mechanism smoothly adjusts to keep them naturally framed, eliminating the need for a human camera operator to manually follow their movements. The camera can also automatically detect and track the selected subject even when other people are present in the same frame.

Firmware Update v4.00

The latest update adds PTZ auto-framing functionality with a new Ball Sports (Basketball) framing mode, enhanced face registration and external face data importing. Registered faces can be temporarily deactivated, while face data protection helps improve security. Users can also save and recall PTZ auto-framing settings, view tracking ranges and fixed-angle positions on the Web App Live screen, and select a new closer close-up framing option. The update also provides more intuitive PTZ auto-framing status monitoring, adds a fixed-IP mode, removes restrictions on input strings, and improves overall operational stability and security.

Three Shooting Modes

Choose from three shooting modes to suit your presentation, including Full Body, Waist and Close Up. Each mode offers centre, left and right angle options, providing flexible framing to capture the presenter from the most suitable position.

Built-In Tally Lamp

A built-in tally lamp provides a visual indication of the shooting status for your talent and crew. The lamp colour will change from red (On Air) to green (Auto-Framing On).

12x Optical Zoom

The SRG-A12 PTZ camera's 12x optical zoom is supplemented by a 24x Clear Image zoom in HD. Clear Image Zoom technology increases the magnification without reducing resolution.

4K Exmor R Sensor

The highly sensitive 1/2.5-type image sensor captures crisp 4K video images with extremely low noise, even when shooting in low light.

High-Speed Pan and Tilt Movements

Speedy, precise pan and tilt operation ensures that the camera can accurately keep track of the presenter's movements.

Camera Position and Freeze Presets

The camera can store and instantly recall up to 256 preset positions, making it easy to switch between different framing setups. It can output high-quality still images while simultaneously streaming 4K video, while smooth pan, tilt and zoom movements provide seamless transitions between preset positions.

Imaging Tools

Autofocus, Auto Exposure, and Auto White Balance ensure professional-looking results without needing manual exposure adjustments.
