Using the Sony SRG - X120 is straightforward. First, connect it to a power source using the provided AC power adapter or PoE+ if available. You can then use the IR remote commander unit to control the pan, tilt, and zoom functions. For live production, set up the camera on a tripod or use the ceiling bracket for ceiling mounting. Make sure to keep the mounting angle within ±15°. If you want to use the 4K resolution or NDI®|HX features, you'll need to purchase and install the optional licenses. When streaming, select the appropriate streaming protocol based on your network and requirements. As for maintenance, keep the camera clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures; the operating temperature range is 32°F to 104°F, and the storage temperature range is - 4°F to 140°F. Check the cables regularly for any signs of damage. If you're not using the camera for a while, put it in standby mode to save power.
