AVMATRIX PKC3000 PTZ Camera Controller
€519.00
Operating a multi-camera PTZ setup during a live broadcast, a church service, or a corporate conference demands precision — and the AVMATRIX...
Running a multi-camera show falls apart the moment an operator has to guess where a remote head is pointing. The Lumens VS-KB21 answers that problem with a built-in 3" LCD preview screen that pulls live RTSP video straight from the camera being driven, so framing, focus and presets are set against the actual picture rather than a memorised position. Producers covering sport, houses of culture, council chambers or lecture theatres get the confidence of a confidence monitor without bolting on a separate display.
Control sits under the hand where it belongs. A weighted 4-axis joystick handles pan, tilt and zoom with the smoothness camera ops expect from far pricier desks, while a dedicated zoom seesaw and a speed knob let movements be feathered for a slow reveal or snapped quickly between two talkers. Seven hot keys switch the operator instantly between connected heads, and the controller addresses up to 255 IP cameras with the same number of stored presets — enough headroom for a permanent install in a large auditorium or a touring production that grows over time. Iris, shutter, gain and white balance each have direct access, and two user-assignable keys map the functions a given venue leans on most.
Compatibility is what keeps the desk relevant across mixed fleets. The VS-KB21 speaks VISCA, VISCA over IP and ONVIF, so it sits comfortably in front of Lumens heads and third-party box and PTZ cameras alike, with serial RS-232 and RS-422 on hand for legacy rigs. Baud rates from 2400 up to 115200 bps cover almost any device an integrator is likely to meet on site.
Installation stays refreshingly tidy. Connected to a PoE switch, a single Cat 5 run carries video preview, control data and power together, which trims cable counts in a crowded rack and shortens commissioning time; a 12V DC input remains available where PoE is not. Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Lumens VS-KB21 is a dependable long-term control surface for any team that treats uptime and repeatable results as part of the budget.
