Super Low Light Performance

Super Image Stabilizer

  • The Bolin R9-230H FHD Low-Light Performance PTZ camera is built for studio broadcast, live production, and professional AV applications, delivering exceptional Full HD video quality with advanced low-light performance and smooth PTZ movement. Powered by a full Sony image block, the R9-230H ensures accurate colors, sharp details, and superb clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. Its 30x zoom provides crisp, detailed images, while Super Image Stabilization Plus minimizes vibrations, making it an ideal choice for sports, concerts, studios, and high-motion environments like nightclubs. The camera’s multiple simultaneous outputs, including dual 3G-SDI, HDMI, Optical SDI, and IP streaming, enable easy integration into both AV-over-IP and baseband video workflows. Supported IP Streams include RTSP, RTMP, SRT, ONVIF, and MPEG-TS.

    Designed for professional production environments, the R9-230H supports Genlock for frame-accurate synchronization, ensuring in-sync multi-camera productions. It also includes balanced XLR audio inputs, allowing for direct integration with professional sound systems. FreeD protocol support provides real-time tracking for AR/VR applications, expanding possibilities for virtual productions and immersive live broadcasts. A built-in color matrix enables precise color tuning, ensuring every shot meets professional broadcast standards.

    With PoE++ support, flexible mounting options, and a purpose-built design, the R9-230H is ready for any production environment. Whether capturing fast-paced live events or controlled studio shoots, the Bolin R9-230H delivers Full HD video with superior stability, professional audio integration, and next-level tracking capabilities, empowering production teams to capture every moment with confidence and precision.

    IEC 60601-certified for use in medical environments, including operating rooms, clinical training facilities, and healthcare education settings.

  • Bolin R9-230H FHD Low-Light Performance PTZ, equipped with the latest Sony new color camera block that achieves higher visibility by adopting the 8M ultra high resolution lens, 4M image sensor (1 / 1.8 type), and ISP  from Sony. The combination of these three Core technologies provides an overwhelming sense of resolution, and the advanced AF / AE / AWB functions reproduce faithful images even in low-light environments.(Data and Picture Quoted From Sony)

  • Advanced AF performance

    Play Video

    Sony’s proprietary AF algorithm enables zoom and focus at the same time in difficult conditions. Unlike common cameras, which cannot zoom and focus at the same time nor refocus after defocusing under certain circumstances, the camera can zoom and focus at the same time and has the algorithm design which minimizes defocusing in difficult conditions, especially in dark environments (including environments with a mixture of visible light and infrared light and environments with locally strong light sources).(Data and Picture Quoted From Sony)

    Play Video

    In pursuit of high image quality and a 1 / 1.8-inch sensor, we have introduced a 30x enhanced optical zoom with a combination zoom of an 8M compatible lens and a 4M image sensor. Beautiful images can be obtained not only at the Wide end, but also at the Tele end where the effects of reduced resolution and aberrations are easily visible. (Data and Picture Quoted From Sony)

  • Jero effect correction

    In electronic image stabilization, the image is generally distorted when the amount of blur is large. This product corrects this phenomenon and enables the acquisition of natural images with little distortion. (Data and Picture Quoted From Sony)

PTZ

  • FreeD Protocol Integrated for VR/AR Video Production

      • FreeD (Free Dimensional Video) is a protocol that enables the capture and rendering of immersive, three-dimensional video content. It is especially useful for virtual live video productions with baseband video feeds and, with Bolin PTZ cameras, with ultra-low latency AV Over IP streaming. This capability can be widely used in applications like weather reporting, sports, news, and live events.
      • FreeD helps provide all the axis data needed for a Bolin PTZ camera to intelligently and smoothly pan, tilt, and zoom while following designated objects and people. Broadcasters can combine Bolin’s FreeD-enabled PTZ cameras with available, sophisticated software to automate complex camera operations with spectacular results.
