Add a high-resolution PTZ camera to your conference room, education setting, live event, house of worship, or remote video conference with this black 4K HDMI/3G-SDI NDI|HX Tracking PTZ Camera with 12x Zoom from Datavideo. The camera features remote pan, tilt, and zoom control via a remote control or via NDI|HX, IP, and serial protocols, and its built-in zoom lens offers an optical zoom range of 12x with a 16x digital zoom to view just about any angle in your setting. You can stream live using RTSP or RTMP protocols as well as stream video and control when on an NDI network using high-quality, low-latency HDI|HX technology. The camera also features an AI autotracking algorithm that allows you to follow the subject automatically.
Streaming Outputs and NDI|HX3
Connect your PTC-285NDI to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time, supporting simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to UHD 4K 2160p60 and also 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60. It also supports high-quality, low-latency HDI|HX3 streaming technology.
Quick-Access AI & Object Tracking
Setting up AI tracking is available via various external controllers such as the included RMC-1 remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, RMC-180 MARK II, and PTC View Assist). In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable AI tracking on smart switchers, which include KMU-200, SHOWCAST 100, and others, as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Smart Classroom.
If you are capturing multiple people, you can designate a single person for AI tracking. Once set up on the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people crossing back and forth, and large objects.
Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt, and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.
Low Noise in Low Light
Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.
Streaming and Network Support
The camera supports NDI|HX streaming for compatibility on an NDI network, as well as RTSP and RTMPS protocols, making it easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud.
