Sony's BRC-AM7 PTZ outputs free-d D1 camera tracking to up to four IPv4 destinations (port 1024-65534, default 40000) with a settable Camera ID (0-255, default 255) and a manually entered camera position, and output may lag in some modes; the FR7 outputs both free-d D1 (lens encoder, iris, position, orientation) and OpenTrackIO (adding focal length and entrance pupil position), synchronised to the sync signal.

Curator qualifications: Help pages read 2026-10-22; no camera connected. Page lists different X vs Y/Z ranges under the same unit (inconsistency kept); packet layout in Sony integration document not read. Limitations: Help pages read 2026-10-22; no camera connected. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
