Digital audio and robotic cameras from Sony, technological protagonists of 'Utopia'

Sony's digital audio technology and robotic cameras will be used for the recording of 'Utopia', new TV8 programme to be broadcast in Turkey, tanto por televisión como Internet.

Desarrollado originalmente en Holanda, ‘Utopía’ es el nuevo programa de la cadena TV8 que sigue el día a día de quince concursantes mientras conviven en un lugar remoto deshabitado en el que tienen que crear una comunidad desde cero.

El concurso, con una duración de diez meses y que en breve retransmitirá la televisión turca y en Internet, cuenta con la tecnología de audio digital y cámaras robóticas de Sony para su grabación y producción continua, selected by Acun Medya.

Koray Köymen, responsable comercial de Sony, ha señalado “la gran suerte de trabajar con Acun Medya en muchos proyectos anteriormente, incluido ‘Survivor’. We have continued this collaboration during the 'Utopia' project, in which we have the opportunity to use the latest in remote robotic camera technology and digital audio.".

concretely, for the recording of 'Utopia' Sony robotic cameras BCR-Z330 and BCR-Z700 are used, that deliver excellent HD images, even in low light conditions, while at night the EVI-H100S model is used.

The BRC-Z330 and BRC-Z700 robotic systems can be mounted on ceilings or any other flat surface and their wide-angle pan/tilt/zoom performance offers flexible operation in a variety of remote recording applications. Autofocus optical zoom lens allows users to record small or distant objects.

For the evening recording of the program, BRC-Z330 robotic camera offers discreet pickup, thanks to its small size, with HD-SDI video output and high-precision Exmor CMOS image sensor with Full HD image quality (See more details at Digital AV Magazine).
