PTZOptics is stepping up their professional offerings with the new Rise 4K broadcast-ready PTZ camera, which sports a 1” Sony CMOS sensor, 20x optical zoom with phase-detection autofocus, optical image stabilization, auto-tracking and more. The Rise 4K also sports a panoply of useful I/O, including 12G-SDI, timecode, genlock, and SFP+ fiber. For those who want to step up their PTZ game, the Rise could prove a strong contender.
The Rise 4K has the auto-tracking technology that PTZOptics is known for, including ReID, FaceID, and voice tracking, alongside a Sony 1” 50MP CMOS sensor that helps the camera capture sharp 4K video at up to 60p. The camera’s wide 70° field-of-view aids in tracking flexibility and reliability, as does the phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and 20x optical zoom. Operators can switch between subjects via software or hardware, and define preset positions.
The professional ambitions of the Rise 4K become especially clear when looking at the ins and outs on the back of it: 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, timecode, genlock, SFP+ fiber, 3-pin XLR audio, a microSD slot, USB-C 3.0, Ethernet with POE++, RS422 in and out, RS232 in, AC power, and audio line in and line out. The camera supports NDI|HX3 streaming right out of the box, and FreeD camera tracking is also built-in to aid with virtual production and VFX work.
Expect wide software compatibility, including PTZOptics’ new multifaceted Horizon Web browser-based control interface, plus popular apps like OBS, Livestream Studio, Wirecast, vMix, mimoLive, and Vizrt’s TriCaster. The Rise 4K works with physical controllers and joysticks connected via IP or with wired RS protocols. The camera also comes with an IR remote for quick and easy adjustments. If you need a powerful, professional PTZ that can be controlled from anywhere in the world, give the Rise 4K a look.
