Overview
Product description from Datavideo
Live productions depend on high performance cameras and camera controllers.
Datavideo is introducing the 4K50/60p auto tracking PTZ camera, PTC-285T can be easily controlled via traditional RS-422 serial port, or IP remote control via DVIP or Sony VISCA over IP. This brand new 4K camera series supports dual streaming output for A/V market application. You can easily stream to Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube and dvCloud.
More about this product
This HDBaseT version allows single CAT-6 cable to transfer video, control, power, and tally.
HDBaseT allows you to transmit power, HD video, control, and tally over a single Ethernet cable.
You will be allowed direct access to auto tracking via various external controllers such as the supplied RMC-1AT remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, PTC View Assist, etc.)
In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers which include iCAST mini, SHOWCAST 100, etc as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Hybrid Video Production Solution.
If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for auto tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.
The positioning of talent depends on the videographer's creativity and intent rather than strict rules. Different positions can convey various emotions, messages, or visual effects. A centered composition provides a sense of stability and balance, suitable for scenes that require highlighting the main subject. Videographers may also place the talent on the left third or right third of the frame, leaving adequate space in the foreground to showcase the talent's sight direction or potential future possibilities.
All of the PTC-285 camera series include RMC-1AT controller. User can quickly select full-body, half-body and close up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.
The S-Shaped Speed Curve, inspired by the smooth acceleration and deceleration of a lift, is a pivotal feature that enhances the camera lens movement. Much like the elevator ride that starts and stops seamlessly, the PTZ camera ensures your video captures maintain uninterrupted fluidity.
This innovative technology eliminates any jerky movements that might be discernible to the naked eye, resulting in professional-quality, visually pleasing content. The S-Shaped Speed Curve is your assurance that the camera's pan, tilt, and zoom functions will operate with precision and grace, delivering an unparalleled visual experience for your audience. Experience the future of camera movement with the Datavideo PTZ camera.
