The NewTek PTZ3 PTZ camera, black, combines the simplicity and control of a PTZ camera with the NDI|HX3 protocol. It provides video professionals and AV system integrators with an HD video PTZ camera for remote learning, hospitals, meeting rooms and TV studios. The PTZ3 features a 20x optical zoom and 2x digital zoom, as well as smooth, natural pan and tilt movements. It can send high quality video with virtually no latency and using less bandwidth than previous NDI protocols, and has SDI and HDMI outputs for local monitoring. In addition, the PTZ3 has a mini-XLR audio connection, and includes an XLR to mini-XLR adapter for use with professional audio equipment.
The NewTek PTZ3 camera supports tally, control, power, audio and video over a single CAT network cable, allowing the PTZ3 to be used with any application that supports NDI. The single cable connection simplifies camera placement, as only one Ethernet cable needs to be run and there is no need to run a separate power line. The included ceiling and wall mounts allow you to mount the PTZ3 anywhere and control it remotely.
Advantages of NDI
NDI cameras can be easily integrated into any workflow, and are automatically found once they join a network. The PTZ3 features NewTek's NDI|HX3 protocol integration, giving it the option to offer low-latency, low-bandwidth transmission while maintaining the lossless, visual standards demanded by NDI users.
Audio
You can use the mini-XLR professional audio input, in addition to the standard 3.5mm, line level, to deliver clean, professional-grade audio directly from the camera to the NDI network. The XLR connection offers a range of connectivity options. When combined with NDI Audio Direct, XLR audio connects to NDI receivers and virtually any audio software, providing unprecedented levels of creative flexibility.
Multicast
Optionally allows multiple destinations to receive video from the NDI|HX PTZ camera, without individual point-to-point connections, to preserve network bandwidth.
Preset positions and smooth motion
The NewTek PTZ3 offers synchronised preset starts and a new motion algorithm, helping to create a natural look and feel in any production.
Single cable connection
The NewTek PTZ3 can be incorporated into any workflow, with a single Ethernet cable, for up to 1080/60p HD video, audio, PTZ presets and control, Tally and PoE.
Power over Ethernet
Streamlines installation and reduces cabling complexity by eliminating the need for a separate power connection with Power over Ethernet support via POE+.
3G-SDI and HDMI outputs
Capture and deliver video in conventional workflows, with support for 3G-SDI and HDMI hardware outputs.
