Broadcaster Pro 25X Fiber
PRC-425FB
PTZ camera for broadcast and professional production featuring AI tracking, NDI|HX3, FreeD, and 4K image quality.
Everything in sync. Nothing at risk.
In high-end broadcast production, raw power is useless without control. Every synchronization error between cameras, every missed shot has consequences during a live broadcast. Broadcaster Pro 25X Fiber ( PRC-425FB) is built specifically for this environment: 1/1.8″ CMOS sensor, 4K/60fps, uncompressed 12G-SDI, multi-camera Genlock, AI Tracking, and full connectivity.
These aren't isolated features. They're layers of a single solution, designed to keep everything running smoothly.
Sync with the moment
Capture every moment as it happens. From the fastest action to the finest detail, every frame remains sharp, smooth, and usable.
The 1/1.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor ensures that the camera captures exactly what the eye sees, with the fidelity required for professional production.
At 4K and 60 frames per second, every detail comes through perfectly. Every shot is captured exactly as it happens. No lag. No loss of detail.
The 25x optical zoom lets you capture the action from any distance without compromising on quality. Getting a close-up from a distance without using digital zoom means the sensor's resolution remains uncompromised at all times.

Sync with the production
Genlock locks each camera to a common reference signal, ensuring that the entire system operates on the same time base. In multi-camera setups, this makes all the difference: without synchronization, every cut between shots is a risk. With it, the production flows smoothly, without glitches, without image jumps, and with no room for error during a live broadcast.
Broadcaster Pro Fiber natively into professional broadcast infrastructures and is compatible with the leading broadcast ecosystems on the market, including Blackmagic Design infrastructures and equivalent systems.
Sync with the distance
Miles away. No signal loss.
The SFP+ output on the Broadcaster Pro 25X Fiber allows for the transmission of video, audio control signals over fiber optics, covering distances of several kilometers without signal degradation. The fiber's bandwidth effortlessly supports the 4K/60fps stream generated by the camera.
Sync with the connection
In a multi-camera environment, a fraction of a second can make all the difference. Your signal arrives. In sync.
1. RS-232 IN/OUT
Serial communication for remote control and connection to legacy production systems
2. RS-422/485
Professional serial control for integration with PTZ controllers, matrix switchers, and broadcast automation systems
3. RJ-45
Ethernet connection for IP control, remote management, and network streaming
4. HDMI 2.0
Video output for monitors and preview systems on set or in the control room.
5. 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI
Uncompressed video output from 1080p up to 4K/60fps. Standard for professional broadcast switchers and matrix systems.
6. GENLOCK
Reference signal input for multi-camera synchronization. Synchronizes the camera with the rest of the system.
7. SFP+
Fiber-optic transmission for long-distance installations, with no signal loss.

AI Tracking for Broadcast
In broadcasting and live production, framing is just as important as the image itself.No matter where the subject moves, the AI tracking system follows the presenter, operates within defined zones, or switches between the two modes as required by the production.
Presenter mode
The camera identifies and tracks the main subject in the scene using facial recognition. At a product conference with multiple speakers on stage, it keeps the focus on the presenter.
Smart Auto-Framing
The system automatically adjusts the composition based on the number of people in the frame, keeping them properly framed at all times without any manual intervention.
Zone mode
The operator defines zones with custom presets: framing, zoom, and composition. When a person enters a zone, the camera automatically executes the assigned preset.
Hybrid mode
The camera tracks the subject as it moves freely, but when the subject enters a predefined zone, it executes the corresponding fixed preset.
Web interface
The new web interface puts full control of the camera just a click away, from any browser, without the need for additional software. Presets, layouts, face masking, image settings.
Cleaner, faster, and designed so that the production crew can work with the camera without it getting in the way.
Sync with the future
It adapts to your workflow. Instantly.
With NDI®|HX3, the camera becomes a high-quality IP source that can be accessed from anywhere on the network, without the need for additional capture hardware.
HX3 is the most advanced version of the protocol: lower latency, better image quality, same network cable.
The signal travels over a standard network, is automatically detectable by any compatible system, and allows for video and control to be managed over the same cable.
FreeD connects the camera to the virtual environment in real time. It continuously transmits precise position data (pan, tilt, zoom) to the rendering engine, ensuring that graphics, virtual sets, and augmented reality elements are always perfectly aligned with the live feed.
The applications are wide-ranging: sports broadcasts with statistics and AR graphics superimposed on the screen, virtual sets in news or entertainment programs, or film and television productions that combine live-action footage with visual effects.
FreeD natively supports the tools used by most virtual production studios: Unreal Engine, disguise, Mo-Sys, and stype.
