JVC KY-PZ540N Overview

The black KY-PZ540N 4K NDI Auto-Tracking PTZ Camera with 40x HD Zoom from JVC supports up to UHD 4K60 video and can be used as a single camera or as part of a multi-camera setup for capturing and streaming your content. It features a 1/1.8" sensor, a 40x full-resolution zoom in HD, a 20x optical zoom in UHD 4K, and a 16x digital zoom. This PTZ camera features 3G-SDI, HDMI, and USB-C outputs and can simultaneously output video while streaming over its GbE port using a variety of popular protocols including NDI|HX3.
40x Optical Zoom
Whether you're shooting a sports, conference, or HOW (house of worship) event, you can now get closer to your subject with the 40x HD optical zoom and JVC's VSM (Variable Scan Mapping) technology. VSM dynamically scans the camera's 4K sensor, producing seamless and lossless image transmission.
NDI|HX3
This camera's built-in NDI support includes an NDI|HX3 mode, which delivers maximum quality and near-zero latency at a reduced bandwidth compared to NDI High Bandwidth. The reliable UDP (RUDP) transmission protocol ensures reliability through retransmission with high-speed communications such as UDP.
NDI SDK Version: NDI 5
The KY-PZ540N camera has built-in NDI|HX3 and supports NDI 5. The reliable UDP (RUDP) transmission protocol ensures reliability through retransmission with high-speed communications such as UDP.
Versatile UHD 4K60 Streaming
The versatile KY-PZ540N 4K Robotic PTZ Camera uses the popular H.264 and H.265 codecs and supports multiple streaming protocols including MJPEG, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SRT, and UDP. Ultrahigh resolution 4K60p streaming is ideal for viewing sports and events. Highly efficient H.265/HEVC compression technology also produces similar or better image quality than H.264 at 50% of the bitrate.
Advanced Auto-Tracking
SMART (subject movement and recognition tracking) advanced auto-tracking features include standard, area, stage, wide area, and fine adjustment options.
Smooth, Agile Pan/Tilt Moves
Pan speeds of up to 80.5°/second and tilt speeds of up to 49°/second enable the KY-PZ540N camera to quickly and smoothly cover your event participants.
Supports up to UHD 4K
Use this PTZ camera for IP streaming at rates up to UHD 4K60 and for external recording at rates output at rates up to UHD 4K59.94 via HDMI, up to UHD 4K29.97 via USB-C, and up to 1080p59.94 via 3G-SDI.
Multi-Slice Encoding
Multi-slice encoding technology increases performance and efficiency while reducing latency to achieve optimal image quality of live transmissions in 4K60p HEVC mode.
Additional Features
  • Multi-camera synchronization is available with VITC and NTP.
  • Menu setup files can be saved as a setup file on a PC.
  • Capture still images of your events.
  • The 2-color tally function is useful for studio shooting.
  • Use the 2x to 16x digital extender for additional magnification.
