The Datavideo PTC-285 is a 4K auto-tracking PTZ camera with a 12x optical zoom, designed for precise video capture in live events, presentations,...
Capturing motion-rich 4K content at 60 frames per second, the Lumens VC-A71SN Black is a PTZ camera built around a 1/1.8-inch 9.17-megapixel CMOS sensor and a 30x optical zoom lens with a focal range of 6.5 mm to 202 mm. That range covers everything from wide establishing shots at 63° horizontal to tight close-ups at 3.7°, and a 12x digital zoom extends reach further still. With an aperture of F1.6 and a minimum illumination of 0.05 lux, this camera handles dimly lit stages and studio environments where lighting shifts without warning. Smart AF and Smart AE adjust focus and exposure automatically, freeing operators to concentrate on framing.
The VC-A71SN carries a 12G-SDI output delivering uncompressed UHD 4K at 60 fps, alongside HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and a full suite of IP streaming protocols. Native NDI|HX3 support — plus NDI|HX2, RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS, and SRT — enables low-latency video distribution across IP networks without external converters. NDI Genlock keeps multiple units frame-synchronised during multi-cam broadcasts, a critical feature for live switching in television and esports production. A 3.5 mm audio line-in embeds microphone audio directly into the output streams.
Integrated FreeD protocol support transmits exact pan, tilt, and zoom position data over IP in real time, letting graphics engines render perspective-matched virtual backgrounds without additional tracking sensors — a significant advantage for VR/AR set operators. The BT.2020 wide colour gamut, switchable to Rec.709, ensures colour accuracy that matches cinema-grade cameras on mixed-vendor shoots. IQ Sync keeps image parameters consistent across multiple Lumens units, simplifying colour matching in sports arenas, concert venues, and broadcast studios.
The Lumens VC-A71SN Black pans 340° and tilts 120° at up to 300°/sec, with 256 presets recalled via VISCA, VISCA-over-IP, ONVIF, or PELCO D. Control runs over RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet, USB, or the supplied IR remote, and power arrives through 12 V DC or PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) for single-cable ceiling or truss installations. A five-year manufacturer warranty underlines the reliability professional operators expect.
