PTZOptics Link 4K PT12X-LINK-4K-WH brings precision PTZ imaging to Dante networks. Its 1/2.5" 8.51 MP CMOS captures UHD 3840×2160 at up to 60 fps via HDMI and IP, while 3G-SDI delivers 1080p60 for existing HD chains. A 12× optical zoom (4.4–52.8 mm) spans a wide 72.5° HFOV down to tight shots with clean detail; 16× digital is available for framing assists. Hardware auto-tracking enables Presenter Lock and Group Lock, holding focus on talent across stages and classrooms with smooth PTZ moves.
Dante AV-H links video natively with networked audio workflows. Route camera feeds (up to 1080p60 over Dante) in Dante Controller, or monitor in Dante Studio, while simultaneously streaming via SRT, RTSP, and RTMPS. Choose H.265/H.264/MJPEG encoding to balance bandwidth and latency. For embedded audio, line-level 3.5 mm in/out are provided. Connectivity covers HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB 2.0 (up to 4K30), and Gigabit IP; a front tally streamlines multi-camera vision mixing.
Precision motion control underpins repeatable moves. The head stores 255 presets and responds over VISCA over IP, RS-232, and RS-485; Mini-DIN RS-232 in/out allows daisy-chains up to 30 m. A responsive web UI exposes exposure, color matrix, WDR and 3D-NR to match broadcast sources. Shutter spans 1/30 to 1/10,000 s, and the f/1.8–2.6 lens maintains clarity in challenging conference or studio lighting. Power options include 12 VDC and PoE+ for single-cable installs.
A 5-year warranty adds reliability in critical environments.
Built for pro integration, Link 4K works with OBS, vMix, Wirecast, TriCaster, Crestron/Extron, and joystick controllers. For centralized fleet control, PTZOptics Hive and robust APIs streamline provisioning. Deploy the PTZOptics Link 4K 12× White where dependable 4K60 imaging, Dante-native routing and accurate auto-tracking are essential in corporate studios, lecture capture and live streaming.
