Datavideo PTC-150 Overview

By B&H Photo's

Capture high-resolution video up to 1080p with the black PTC-150 HD/SD PTZ Video Camera from Datavideo. It can be remotely controlled to perform pan, tilt, and zoom operations using the included IR remote control or by using a separately available serial PTZ controller. The camera can be mounted on a wall, ceiling, floor, or tabletop.

The PTC-150 features motorized 30x optical zoom capability, a wide dynamic range, backlight compensation, image mirror and rotation, and a tally light to indicate when the camera is active. Video outputs include 3G-SDI, HDMI, or CVBS ports that can simultaneously output video signals. The lens features a field of view range of 2.3 to 63.7° as well as an M52 filter thread to add a separately available filter. It also features 50 programmable position presets for your pan, tilt, and zoom operations.

A built-in IR cut filter is included to assist with low-light shooting, which then is disabled for daylight shots. The camera supports the VISCA protocol for PTZ control using the serial RS-422 interface and DVIP over the unit's RJ45 port.

Does this work with the Sony RM-BR300 joystick? It uses Visca protocol.
Asked by: Phillip
The Datavideo PTC-150T does use the VISCA and DVIP protocol. On the HBT-11 Receiver Box provided in the package, it does offer RS-422 and RS-232. The PTZ camera itself offers a HDBase T port as well as RS-422. The RM-BR300 does offer control capability through RS-232 and RS422. You will need to wire the cables either from the HBT-11 receiver box or camera to the RM-BR300.

question

Can the tally light be disabled?
Asked by: Anonymous
I use mine without the tally lights. Didn't really do anything to turn them off, just did not hook up tally cable.
