Sony BRC-300 Brochure & Specs page 3

Precision 16:9 technology
The BRC-300 captures images in both 4:3 and
16:9 aspect ratios, and with its 3 CCD
technology, is able to achieve a wide angle of
view in the 16:9 mode.
Due to the greater number of pixels used in the
16:9 aspect ratio, the BRC-300 generates
extremely high-resolution images as compared
to conventional cameras.

presets can be easily accessed, and up to
seven cameras can be daisy-chained and
controlled by the RM-BR300 Remote Control
Unit.
