Features
Hive Linked: PTZOptics cameras come Hive Linked out of the box. Once you’ve linked this camera to the PTZOptics Hive, you will be able to connect to this camera through a web browser from anywhere in the world.
Video Templates: The PTZOptics team is making it easy to select the best performance IP video streams for your project by providing easily selectable video templates for NDI, Dante, and IP streaming.
White Balance Modes: This feature helps adjust the color balance in your images, specifically focusing on white. Different lighting conditions can change the color of white, which may alter other colors in the image. White balance modes can help correct for different types of light, such as sunlight, shade, tungsten, fluorescent, etc. so that the white in your image remains true and other colors are displayed correctly.
Exposure Modes: Each exposure mode provides different combinations of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Various modes include manual (where you control everything), auto (the camera decides), and modes that allow control over one aspect (like shutter priority, where you control the shutter speed and the camera adjusts the other settings)
On-Camera Firmware Updates: Our developer team provides firmware updates accessible through the camera’s web UI. These periodic updates will improve performance, add new features, fix bugs, or support new accessories.
Profiles: Profiles allow you to quickly set up your camera for different shooting situations. For example, you might have one profile for indoor shooting, another for outdoor shooting, and another for low-light conditions. Each profile would have different settings like white balance, exposure, frame rate, etc.
Simple Network Discovery: This is a feature that allows the camera to be easily discovered and connected to a network. PTZOptics cameras can now be found by simply entering http://ptzoptics.local/ into any web-browser. The IP address can then easily be changed through the user interface.
NTP for NDI sync: Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks. This can be used to ensure that the timestamps on the Network Device Interface (NDI) streams from your cameras are accurate and synchronized, ensuring that your video streams are in sync with each other and with any other networked devices.
Multicast/Unicast: With multicast, data can be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously. With unicast, data can only be sent from one sender to one receiver. Choosing to use multicast or unicast will depend on the network setup and the requirements of the video stream.
12X & 20X, Optical Zoom Models: 2+ million pixel ultra-high resolution 1080p telephoto lens in 12X and 20X optical zoom.
1080p HD: Next generation SONY UHD CMOS sensor for shooting high quality video at 60 FPS, with the flexibililty to adjust numerous other resolutions and frame rates.
HDMI 2.0: HDMI 2.0, can directly output 1080p uncompressed digital video.
Low Light: CMOS image sensor with ultra-high SNR can reduce image noise in low light.
3D Noise Reduction: Produces a clean, clear image even in low light with a signal-to-noise ratio as high as 55db.
Multiple Interfaces: Simultaneous Output Combinations: HDMI 2.0 or 3G-SDI, plus IP Video [RTMP(S), SRT, RTSP, RTP] and either USB 3.0 or NDI HX 3 as outputs.
Multiple Control Options: Controllable via IR remote, network connection, and the USB port.
Tally Light: Features a built-in tally light that shines GREEN to indicate when the camera is in preview mode. The light shines RED when the camera is on-air. The tally light illuminates when used with NDI-compatible video mixing software.
