Add versatility and UHD 4K quality video to your production with the R9-L420N Large-Sensor UHD 4K NDI PTZ Camera with 20x Zoom from Bolin Technology. This feature-packed PTZ camera outputs up to UHD 4K60 and 1080p120 HFR via simultaneous 12G-SDI, HDMI, and NDI/IP multi-streaming. It features a large-format 1" CMOS sensor with 50MP image capture, a 20x optical zoom, genlock, ultrafine movement, an optional optical SFP fiber module, USB recording, and a wide 71.28° angle of view. This model also supports global NDI transmission using full NDI and NDI|HX3, allowing the camera to fit right into an existing NDI network.
Large-Format Sensor
The R9-L420N features a 1" Sony image sensor capable of capturing detailed 4K60 video.
The larger sensor captures more light, improving image clarity, dynamic range, and color reproduction.
20x Zoom Lens
A 20x zoom lens with an additional 16x digital zoom provides flexible framing from wide establishing shots to tight close-ups without sacrificing image quality. A wide 71.3° horizontal field of view captures more of the scene to cover your whole space.
Hybrid Autofocus
Hybrid autofocus combines Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) with Contrast Detection Autofocus (CDAF) for fast focus acquisition and precise focus accuracy. PDAF quickly determines the direction and distance needed to reach focus, while CDAF fine-tunes the image for maximum sharpness.
Lip Sync Adjustment
The camera is factory-calibrated to ensure audio and video remain properly synchronized out of the box. Built-in lip sync adjustment allows operators to fine-tune audio timing when external equipment introduces processing delays.
Threaded Lens Filter Mount
A standard 77mm threaded filter mount allows common screw-on filters to be attached directly to the lens.
This enables the use of accessories such as ND filters, diffusion filters, or protective filters without requiring additional mounting hardware.
Built-In ND Filters
Four selectable ND filter stops—clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64—are built directly into the camera, allowing operators to quickly reduce incoming light while maintaining the desired aperture and shutter settings.
Timecode Sync
Built-in timecode support via a dedicated BNC input allows the camera to synchronize with other cameras and production equipment. By aligning timecode across devices, operators can maintain accurate timing during multicamera productions and complex broadcast workflows.
High Frame Rate
Support for up to 120 fps at 1080p resolution allows fast action to be captured with greater smoothness and clarity. The higher frame rate provides additional motion detail and enables clean slow-motion playback when needed.
External USB Recording
Video can be recorded directly to external storage using the USB-C port into MP4 files with H.265 or H.264 codecs.
This allows operators to capture high-quality footage locally without requiring an external recorder or additional recording hardware.
Connectivity
- A Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE++ delivers power, control, and network connectivity through a single cable
- Balanced XLR inputs support mic or line-level audio with phantom power, allowing high-quality sound to be embedded with video
- Optical SDI uses an optional SFP module to transmit SDI video over fiber for long-distance signal delivery.
- An open API allows developers and integrators to build custom applications, automate control, and integrate the camera into larger systems
- NDI Embedded Bridge enables secure NDI connections across different networks
- Output video simultaneously through HDMI, SDI, and IP with independently configurable resolutions
- Support for multiple concurrent IP streams
- Genlock synchronizes the camera with external reference signals for multicamera productions, supporting both Blackburst and Tri-Level Sync
- Ultralow latency video output ensures near real-time response, ideal for live production
LCD Screen
A built-in front LCD screen provides quick access to key camera information such as IP address, resolution, video format, and codec settings.
Image Cropping
The camera allows you to output a user-defined cropped region of the main image through the secondary SDI port, providing additional framing options from a single camera.
Ultrafine Movement
Ultrafine Movement Control expands PTZ positioning to 255 control steps, far beyond the typical 24-step standard used by most cameras. This increased precision allows operators to achieve smoother, more refined camera movement and more accurate positioning.
Additional Details
- Quiet motor operation for noise-sensitive environments
- Record camera movements and replay them to repeat complex motion paths
- Pan and tilt speeds range from an ultraslow 0.05° per second to a fast 70° per second
- FreeD output provides precise camera tracking data for AR elements, virtual sets, and XR production environments
- Adjust color properties to better match other cameras and maintain consistent color across multicamera productions
- A built-in carry handle makes it easier to transport, position, and deploy the camera
