Will this product work with new tec tricaster mini 4K and NDI cameras
Asked by: Tom
Yes, SKAARHOJ's PTZ Pro controller with Blue Pill Inside can control NewTek Tricaster video switchers and PTZ cameras simultaneously. This is true for all SKAARHOJ's Blue Pill products. SKAARHOJ does not use NDI protocol for remote control, but use other protocols such as; native Tricaster and VISCA.

Could this unit work on the same LAN as a Canon IP100 controller to control one camera while the other controls the others?
Asked by: David
No, the Canon RC-IP100 Touchscreen PTZ Joystick Controller uses Canon XC protocol, which the SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro V2B with Hall Effect Joystick and Blue Pill Inside is not licensed for.

Will this control a Canon xf605 camera?

Will this control a Canon xf605 camera?
Asked by: Michael
Yes, the SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro V2B with Hall Effect Joystick and Blue Pill Inside can control the Canon XF-605 using the XC protocol from Canon. This device has a default configuration for this protocol so you should have some control out of the box. The only thing to note is that this is a PTZ controller, and the XF605 is not a PTZ camera. So some of the settings might not be a great fit for this camera. But it will absolutely work. We also recommend the following Canon controller for the Canon XF605.

The PTZ Optics 30X and 12X cameras aren't specifically listed as compatible but the 20X is. I would think that it's the same commands...can you confirm that the 30X and 12X are compatible?
Asked by: Lance
The SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro V2 Camera Controller would be able to communicate with the PTZOptics 12X-NDI Broadcast and Conference Camera and the PTZOptics 30X-NDI Broadcast and Conference Camera via IP.
