Optical Multiplex Unit (BRU-H700,
BRU-300)
Users can transmit uncompressed digital data
including external sync and camera control signals via
an optical multiplex unit such as the BRU-H700 and
BRU-300.  With only a single cable connection
between the camera and the HD optical multiplex
unit, the system is extremely easy to install.  The
maximum cable length between these units are 500
meters for the BRC-300 and 1000 meters for both 
the BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700.
RS-232C/RS-422 Remote Control
(VISCA protocol)
System integrators can easily configure complex
systems with the BRC Series because each camera is
equipped with RS-232C/RS-422 interfaces supporting
the VISCA
TM 
protocol, which allows them to be
controlled by external PCs and/or controllers.  All local
controls such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom, camera settings, and
presets can be easily accessed, and up to seven
cameras can be 
daisy-chained.
Multiple Position Presets and User-
friendly Interface
The BRC-H700 and BRC-Z700 each have sixteen
presets and the BRC-300 has six presets to which
predefined Pan/Tilt/Zoom positions and other
parameters can be allocated.  These presets can be
recalled at the touch of a button to easily capture
video from pre-specified areas.  They can also be
controlled from either the supplied IR Remote
Commander™ Unit or optional RM-BR300 Remote
Control Unit.  The ergonomically designed joystick
and feature-rich control panel of the RM-BR300
provide superb operability in various remote video
shooting applications.
Flexible Installation
Because the BRC Series has an “Image Flip” function,
the unit can either be mounted on a ceiling using the
supplied ceiling mount kit or placed on a flat surface
to meet the user’s installation and space
requirements.
