Sony ILME-FR7 Cinema Line Full-Frame PTZ Robotic Interchangeable Lens Camera

The Sony ILME-FR7 provides smooth pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) control coupled with a full-frame image sensor and compatibility with the high-quality E-mount lens line-up. A variety of focal lengths and shallow depth of field provide creative freedom and combine with remote PTZ control capability to open a new world of creative potential.

Cinema Line image quality

The FR7’s “Cinema Line” name identifies it as part of a renowned line-up of creative tools designed to unleash the true power of visual storytelling. It provides Custom and Cine EI modes that adjust camera operation to your workflow while maintaining consistency with other Cinema Line cameras.

Staggering latitude for a powerful expression

The Sony ILME-FR7 offers a wide 15+ stop latitude to prevent blown highlights and crushed shadows. In Cine EI mode, base sensitivity can be set to either ISO 800 or 12800 for a consistent look regardless of lighting conditions.

Outstanding Image Quality in Low Light

The Sony ILME-FR7 offers cleaner images in low light by taking full advantage of the sensor’s size and high sensitivity. ISO can be expanded as far as ISO 4096008 when shooting in extremely low light conditions, such as live concerts.

Slow motion for extensive creative possibilities

Smooth 5x slow motion provides extensive creative possibilities, making every moment clearer and more dramatic. The FR7 allows internal slow-motion capture at up to 120 fps9 in 4K10 resolution and up to 240 fps in full HD.

4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit output

The Sony ILME-FR7 supports clean, high-quality output via its HDMI and SDI OUT connectors. This makes it possible to record Apple ProRes 422 or Avid DNxHR®11 in 4K 60p 4:2:2 10-bit format with compatible external recorders via an HDMI or SDI cable.

Remote control for creative camera placement

With its integrated, remotely controllable pan and tilt mechanism, the FR7 can be mounted on the ceiling or in other out-of-the-way locations. Follow your subjects or instantly recall pre-composed shot framings for unprecedented creative potential.

Innovative Remote Control

With a newly developed Web App that enables easy access via QR code or URL input, you can set up the FR7 from a tablet or a PC through a web browser. You can also use the optional RM-IP500 for precise joystick-controlled pan, tilt, and zoom operation. Speed adjustment knobs let you set the speed of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus operations suitable for the subject and setting. Zoom can be controlled either via the joystick or a seesaw lever.

Advanced Technology for Cinematic Expression

Bearing the Cinema Line name, the FR7 incorporates key features that support cinematic expression. The FR7 features a back-illuminated 35 mm full-frame CMOS image sensor for the first time in a pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) camera. Also, the BIONZ XR contributes to superb image quality with high sensitivity, smooth gradations, and true-to-life color.

Express your vision with E-mount lenses

The FR7 features Sony’s E-mount and can be used with all E-mount lenses. These include the superlative G Master series, known for its stunning resolution and beautiful bokeh. A choice of focal lengths ranging from 12 mm to 1200 mm6 gives you comprehensive creative control.

Lens support rods

Two lens rods provided below the camera head allow attachment of standard 15-mm rod-mountable accessories.

Explore the possibilities with remote PTZ

Smooth pan, tilt, and zoom operation Capture the scene from any angle

The FR7 incorporates smooth pan, tilt, and zoom3 functionality that can be remotely controlled or recalled to preset positions. The pan angle range is from -170° to +170°, and the tilt angle range is from -30° to +195° when used in normal upright orientation.

A full-featured dedicated Web App

With a new dedicated Web App, you can use a tablet or a computer’s web browser1 to pan, tilt, zoom, focus, record, and adjust all camera settings. You can access cameras in hard-to-reach locations with easy setup using each camera’s unique QR code. The Web App uses the same menu format as the FX6 for intuitive operation.

Multi-camera shooting

The FR7 supports multi-camera production with just a small staff. It can be mounted on a tripod, on the ceiling, or in limited-access locations so that subjects can be unobtrusively followed and recorded from a range of viewpoints. A single RM-IP5002 remote control unit can be used for a setup of up to 100 FR7 cameras (10 groups of 10 cameras).

Electronic Variable ND Filter for smooth remote operation

Sony’s built-in continuously variable electronic ND (neutral density) filter allows exposure control at a distance for smooth operation in a remote setup. It allows seamless ND adjustment from 1/4 to 1/128 to control exposure remotely—and even automatically—allowing control of depth of field while maintaining consistent exposure.

Breathing compensation

The FR7 includes a breathing compensation function that minimizes unwanted changes in the angle of view for better-looking focus transitions. With compatible lenses, the angle of view is automatically kept consistent even when focusing, making it possible to achieve smooth and dramatic focusing effects.

Connectivity to match creative workflows

Outstanding connectivity

The FR7 provides excellent connectivity for video output, IP streaming, and synchronization with other devices. HDMI video output can be used for real-time monitoring, while SDI video output delivers a RAW signal to an external recording device. Camera control, video and audio transfer, and power supply can be carried out via a single LAN cable.

Connecting to external devices

Easily connect to external devices to provide timecode synchronization, control tally light signals, and coordinate synchronization signals in multi-camera setups.

Power supply

LAN and PoE++ connector

The FR7 can be powered with an external PoE++ (Power over Ethernet Plus Plus17) device via a standard network cable (CAT5e or higher), eliminating the need for separate power supply cabling.

DC IN connector

If not using PoE++, the supplied AC adaptor connects to the FR7’s “DC IN” connector to power the unit. The cord clamp on the rear panel of the FR7 can be used to prevent the power cable from being accidentally unplugged.

IP streaming made it easy

RTSP streaming allows video output from one camera to be simultaneously distributed to up to five viewers. SRT enables high-quality, low-latency video transfer even in unstable network conditions. And NDI|HX14 connects to NDI-compatible devices such as switchers and media servers, supporting efficient live video production using Internet protocols.
