Advanced AF performance
Play VideoSony’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 VideoThis is another video in the R9-230 series. Here, we demonstrate the outstanding low light performance of the Sony 9500 image block. Bolin uses the full Sony 9500 image block in our new flagship B9 PTZ camera. You will be amazed at the quality of the color and the image in very low light conditions.

30x enhanced optical zoom
Play VideoIn 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)

Bolin PTZ Camera with NDI Embedded Bridge
"NDI Bridge revolutionizes remote media production by eliminating traditional geographical limitations and facilitating seamless connectivity, collaboration, and content creation from any global location."
With Bolin's NDI Embedded Bridge PTZ cameras and decoders, the devices send and receive encrypted NDI streams over WAN from any location globally. With one device running the embedded bridge, all NDI streams on a network can be sent and received. With NDI embedded devices, no complex setups required and configurations can easily be done ahead of time for plug and play operation in the field.
Bolin's NDI PTZ cameras with NDI Embedded Bridge provide real-time collaboration, robust security, and a seamless user experience for remote production and broadcast, virtual events, and content creation.
"It essentially allows individuals or teams from multiple locations to share, send, and receive high-quality, low-latency video, audio, and metadata streams, and control across the globe."
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.
PTZ Movement-Smooth, Accurate and Quiet
- PAN: 340° (-170° to +170°); Fully proportional, speed 0.05° to 70°/s
