PTZOptics Link 4K PTZ Camera Overview

Add a high-resolution streaming and tracking camera to your classroom, house of worship, or conference room for remote meetings with software such as Skype, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom with the gray Link 4K SDI/HDMI/USB/IP PTZ Camera with 30x Optical Zoom from PTZOptics. The Link 4K camera features the same 4K capture resolutions up to UHD 4K60 via IP and HDMI, up to 1080p60 over 3G-SDI, and it adds support for Dante AV-H audio and video routing.

The Link 4K features auto-tracking for presentations where your subject moves around the room, great for education, how-to, and corporate environments without the need for an operator. Its wide dynamic range, 3D noise reduction, and handy Dante AV-H workflow capabilities provide a sharp, consistent image, even in low light.

The camera's features include a 1/1.8" 4K CMOS 8.42MP sensor for crisp imagery. The built-in zoom lens has an optical zoom range of 30x, and you can zoom in further with up to 16x digital zoom. With 255 programmable preset positions via serial, you can set the camera to rapidly move between positions using IP, RS-232, or RS-485 with separately available controllers or by using IR control with the included remote. It also features a tally light, and it is photo booth capable. The video output is compressed using H.265, H.264, or MJPEG formats, and you can transmit up to two simultaneous streams using Dante AV-H, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP protocols.

The camera supports external audio input via a 3.5mm stereo line-level jack for embedding audio into your stream and a 3.5mm audio output. Power is provided by the included AC adapter or via PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) on a supported network.

Dante AV-H Support
Dante AV-H brings device interoperability and the power of Dante to H.26x endpoints. With Dante AV-H, all video and audio routing, configuration, and management of devices is done with one easy-to-use platform. Dante AV-H adds Dante audio to video devices that are independently routable and compatible with thousands of Dante products.
Connectivity Features
Every Link 4K camera features SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP output for unparalleled performance and versatility. Using technology by Dante, the Link 4K can provide 1080p60 resolution over Dante AV-H, as well as SDI.
PTZ and Tracking Movement
The Link 4K's auto-tracking can lock onto a specific person, even while other people are in frame. Users can switch between on-stage presenters with the click of a button. The Link 4K can track subjects up to 300' away.

In addition to the Link 4K's auto-tracking features, users will also have access to the latest Web UI, updated to provide everything you need in one simple menu. Almost every feature in the Web UI has a tutorial function, perfect for novice producers navigating the settings for the first time.

Control Options
Users can control Link 4K cameras using video production software such as OBS, Livestream Studio, Wirecast, vMix, mimoLive, or Tricaster, or via a hardware joystick controller such as a PTZOptics IP joystick, serial joystick, or the SuperJoy. The options for camera control are endless, allowing you to take charge of your camera in a way that fits your workflow.

Link 4K cameras can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world using a variety of tools, including NDI and cloud-based software such as Zoom. Users can also live stream directly to content delivery networks such as Facebook and YouTube.

Multiple Mounting Options
Mount the Link 4K camera above, below, or beside the action using optional wall or ceiling mounts to capture the ideal view every time. The Link 4K's automatic video inversion feature senses the camera's orientation and saves time on installation and setup.
