AJA Unveils RovoCam At ISE 2016

News Image
AJA Video Systems has unveiled RovoCam at ISE 2016. RovoCam is the company's first compact block camera for industrial, corporate, security, ProAV and broadcast applications.

Both Ultra HD and HD imagery is captured with Sony optics with built in 12x optical, and up to 20x zoom with Sony Super Resolution Zoom. The camera also has an integrated HDBaseT interface supporting uncompressed video, power, stereo audio, and RS-232 control over a single CAT 5e/6 cable running lengths of up to 100 metres. The single cable connectivity simplifies installation, camera setup and footprint requirements.

RovoCam is built around Sony's 4K FCB-ER8300 Functional Camera Block featuring the back illuminated CMOS sensor technology and Sony image processing. Encased in aluminium, the RovoCam is small and light, which allows simple mounting in a range of scenarios. RovoRx-HDMI, the companion receiver unit, offers integration for RovoCam with an HDMI output, and all video/audio signals, power, and control over HDBaseT. RovoCam is also compatible with select third party receivers.

John Monti, Director, Sony Visual Imaging Solutions, said: "Sony is proud to have collaborated with AJA on their innovative new RovoCam system development using the 4K FCB-ER8300 Functional Camera Block. We anticipate RovoCam will find homes in many ancillary video capture applications within the broadcast, content creation, security, corporate campus, and remote learning vertical markets."

"AJA has always been known for supporting open standards with highly functional, flexible and reliable technologies, and the release of RovoCam continues this trend. Marrying our HDBaseT interface technology with Sony's compact 4K camera delivers incredibly powerful camera acquisition with very simple single cable setup and operation," added Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems. "We've partnered closely with Sony for many years and RovoCam comes as the latest in a long line of collaborations with them."

The RovoCam will be available soon through AJA's worldwide reseller network for $2,495.00 (US MSRP). RovoRX-HDMI will be available for $495.00 (US MSRP).
