Overview
Product description from Datavideo
The Datavideo 4K Auto Tracking PTZ Camera PTC-305 is a high-performance tool designed for live production settings. This camera operates at 4K 50/60p with advanced auto-tracking capabilities. It can be controlled using a traditional RS-422 serial port or through IP remote control via DVIP (Datavideo's proprietary protocol) or Sony VISCA over IP.
The PTC-305 series supports dual streaming output, making it ideal for A/V market applications, and facilitates easy streaming to platforms like Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube, and dvCloud. Additionally, the PTC-305 includes integrated NDI control functionality, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency for modern live production environments.
More about this product
Compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, the PTC-305 ensures compatibility and interoperability in various network video environments. For diverse workflow needs, Datavideo offers extended models like the PTC-305T 4K HDBaseT.
Connect your PTC-305 to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time.
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-305 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.
RMC-1AT PTZ Controller: All you need is a remote control to set and control all four cameras and save the four presets.
The web user interface provides preview, pan-tilt-zoom control and configurations setting in IP mode.
Datavideo PTZ cameras utilize high-quality Sony CMOS sensors to deliver exceptional image quality and reliability. Renowned for their performance in various lighting conditions, Sony CMOS sensors are widely used in broadcast, cinematic, and professional video cameras. Additionally, these sensors offer lower power consumption, which leads to reduced heat generation and a longer camera lifespan.
With built-in 1/1.8" CMOS sensor, supports resolution up to 2160p 50/60.
The PTC-305 camera has 20x Optical Zoom and 16x Digital Zoom with the f1.58 wide open aperture.
Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.
Supports simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to 2160p 50/60 and also 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60/50.
Choose 4K where your production needs it most. Output 4K over NDI|HX3 with Full HD HDMI, or switch to 4K HDMI with Full HD NDI|HX3, giving you the flexibility to optimize your workflow for IP or HDMI-based production.
Support RTSP and RTMPS protocols, easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud as well.
Support compression of resolution up to 3840x2160 with frame up to 59.94, 60fps and the second channel 720x480p compression. AAC, MP3 and PCM audio compression also supported.
The PTC-305 supports PoE for easy installation. No need to find local power outlets or hire an electrician to install outlets wherever you want to mount your camera. Simply run a single CAT-6 cable to power your PTC-305.
Green and red lights tally to show the preview and program status for broadcast applications.
Control real-time pan, tilt, and zoom camera movements with Datavideo SHOWCAST 100, PTZ View Assist APP, RMC-300A and RMC-180. With configurable preset positions supported.
RS-422 and ethernet to use DVIP or VISCA over IP commands to integrate with larger control systems.
The PTC-305 series cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability in network video systems.
Datavideo's PTZ camera series now supports NDI (Network Device Interface) features, enhancing their versatility and integration capabilities. With NDI, these cameras can transmit high-quality, low-latency video over IP networks, making them ideal for live production environments. The implementation of NDI utilizes the DVIP (Datavideo Protocol) ports, ensuring seamless connectivity and control. This advancement allows users to leverage the flexibility of IP-based workflows, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional cabling, ultimately streamlining the production process.
NDI Pan Tilt Zoom cameras offer several advantages for various applications, particularly in the realm of video production, broadcasting, live streaming, and video conferencing. NDI, or Network Device Interface, is a technology developed by NewTek that allows video and audio to be transmitted over a network, making it easier to integrate and manage multiple devices.
With NDI PTZ cameras, you can easily set up a multi-camera production environment, enabling you to capture different angles and perspectives for more dynamic and engaging content. Here are some reasons why using NDI PTZ cameras can be beneficial:
NDI PTZ cameras provide high-quality video and audio transmission over a network, enabling crisp and clear visuals for broadcasting, streaming, or video conferencing.
NDI technology allows for easy setup and scalability, enabling you to add and manage multiple cameras seamlessly.
