Bolin Technology B9-418 Overview

Capture professional 4K or HD video for your video conferencing, education, house of worship, or other video application with this black 4K30 IP/HDMI/3G-SDI High-Bandwidth 1" PTZ Camera with 18x Optical Zoom from Bolin Technology. This remotely controllable PTZ camera features a dome-style housing, and it allows you to capture up to 4K30 resolution video and output via HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB-C, or IP dual streaming via its Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet interface. Additional features include a 18x optical zoom, an additional 16x digital zoom, a ±170° panning range, a ±120° tilting range, auto or manual focus, a wide dynamic range, and serial/IP control. It also features a 3.5mm mic/line audio input and output, and it features a durable magnesium alloy housing.

The large, low-noise 1" 14.2MP Sony CMOS sensor ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio, while advanced 2D/3D noise-reduction technology further reduces image noise, so an even sharper image is delivered in low light. The RJ45 Ethernet port allows you to control and configure the camera via IP, and it also allows simultaneous dual streaming via IP for a live Internet stream. You can also output the video via USB with UVC support, making it easy to interface with a computer to send video and audio to a streaming or recording application. There is also an audio line input on the back to input stereo audio into your streams and video output.

The pan/tilt/zoom mechanism uses quiet, smooth movements, controllable using the included IR remote controller, ONVIF and VISCA-over-IP control, or the RS-232 input/outputs that support VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P protocols for use with a separately available controller. You can store up to 255 preset positions using an optional serial controller, or store six presets when using the included IR remote. You can power the camera using a networked PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) switch or the included power adapter. The camera also includes an RS-232 control cable.

High-Quality Image Sensor
Equipped with large back illuminated 1" Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor, the camera produces brilliant broadcast-quality color images in 4K30 with excellent low-light sensitivity. Comprehensive image parameter setting like Black Level, Color Matrix, tally lights, and genlock for professional applications. The camera can also be operated in 23.98p/24p mode for cinematic video.
Video Output
All Blue Line PTZ cameras deliver IP streaming video to the network with local HDMI video and USB streaming to computer software for conventional video production and cloud-based video conferencing applications. Cameras with 4K30 support also provide 3G-SDI lossless baseband video for live production and light broadcast use.
Video Settings
Image parameter adjustments include exposure, focus, iris, shutter speed, white balance, gamma, wide dynamic range, E-flip/mirror, and more, with configurable video settings.
Smart Focus and Exposure
The camera is built with Bolin's latest AI-powered face analytical engine, which enables precise smart focus and smart exposure to bring a greater level of user experience and effective image quality improvement in a complex user environment.
Audio
HDMI, SDI, and IP video streaming signals have high-quality audio streaming embedded with support for mic-in and line-in audio inputs.
PTZ Movement
Extremely quiet and smooth operation for pan/tilt movements combined with enhanced adaptive, variable, and super slow speed control provides accurate and effective operation experiences. Picture Profile Preset: Image parameter settings restored with presets and quick access operation.
Remote Control and Setup
Bolin's Blue Line PTZ cameras support serial RS-232/RS-422 control and VISCA-over-IP control over a network. Remotely control pan, tilt, and zoom movements with full access to the camera's image parameter settings via a keyboard controller or IR controller.
Ease of Installation and Use
Use optional Bolin mounting accessories and connect one network cable with PoE+ enabled Ethernet network/PoE device, or use the included RJ45 port cable adapter for serial control to make the installation easy.
Always up to Date
Free and easy firmware updates are available via the IP interface to keep camera features and performance up to date, even for customized function upgrades.
