Sony SRG-A40WC PTZ Camera with Auto Framing 8.5MP, 4K

The groundbreaking PTZ Auto Framing technology with integrated AI analysis ensures high-quality image compositions without operator intervention.

Video recording redefined. AI works for you.

A camera that automatically and naturally records videos for you

Thanks to the advanced PTZ Auto Framing function, the camera automatically tracks the subject with smooth pan, tilt, and zoom movements, regardless of posture, movement – or whether the speaker is wearing glasses.

Since the camera automatically handles most of the work, the operator can focus on other tasks.

PTZ Auto Framing with integrated AI analysis

This camera uses effective AI-powered video analysis that can automatically detect and track the speaker's position within the image area. When the speaker moves, the camera's pan-tilt-zoom mechanism ensures a natural framing at all times, without a human operator having to manually follow the speaker's movements.

Automatically and reliably records videos for you

With Sony's newly developed AI analysis algorithm, it detects the subject's skeleton and head position and assigns detailed features of the subject, even when multiple people are in the image. It enables precise framing and consistent tracking.

Three recording modes available

The camera offers three recording modes: full body, waist, and close-up. In each mode, you can adjust the image composition (size, up and down as well as left and right). In addition, the SRG-A40 and the SRG-A12 can automatically track the subject and keep it in the selected optimal position.

Integrated recording light

The SRG-A40 and the SRG-A12 feature an integrated recording light, similar to what can be found on professional studio cameras. The recording light gives the speaker visual confirmation of the recording status or the activated PTZ Auto Framing function. The color of the recording light changes from red ("on air") to green ("PTZ Auto Framing activated").

Fast pan/tilt

The fast and precise pan-tilt function enables reliable tracking of the speaker's movements by the camera.

Wide-angle zoom lens

In addition to high-quality close-ups, the camera can also capture a wider view of the speaker or their audience.

Powerful zoom, wide-angle

The integrated high-resolution lens offers features up to 40x zoom (FHD) or 30x zoom (4K) with Clear Image Zoom for the SRG-A40 as well as 12x zoom for the SRG-A12 with a large wide-angle range of approx. 70° to capture every point of interest.
