In rooms with several talkers, the licensed Voice Tracking add-on reads positions from networked microphones such as the Audio-Technica ATND1061, Nureva HDL410, Yamaha RM-CG, Shure MXA920 or Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2, recalls the matching preset and can switch OBS, vMix, an INOGENI or an Epiphan unit to the right camera. One operator then supervises three or four heads instead of steering each of them.

Baseband video leaves the rear panel through HDMI 2.0 at up to 2160p60 or through 3G-SDI on a BNC connector at up to 1080p60. Only one of the two is live at a time: Video Mode selects it, and a 16-position rotary switch fixes the format, applied after a restart. Everything else runs side by side. Over Gigabit Ethernet travels NDI|HX3, on NDI 6.3 since the September 2026 firmware, with a High profile for 1080p50/60 and an Ultra profile for 4K50/60, each with H.264 or H.265 encoding and transport over RUDP, TCP, UDP or multicast. Alongside it, AES-encrypted SRT, RTMP, RTMPS and RTSP can feed a CDN, a remote gallery and a recorder at once, and a lighter second stream serves browser previews. USB 2.0 presents the camera as a UVC device at up to 4K30 for Teams, Zoom or a laptop encoder. A 3.5 mm line input embeds lectern or programme audio, with a 3.5 mm output for monitoring it.

Within the Move 4K line, only the 20x has a switchable IR-cut filter. With IR Night Mode on, the filter leaves the light path and the camera produces a black-and-white image lit by external infrared illuminators, which keeps a blacked-out theatre stage visible to the control room during scene changes, or an auditorium while a film is screened. Exposure for colour work can be automatic, manual, Bright, One Push, or shutter- and iris-priority; anti-flicker at 50 or 60 Hz, offered in every mode except manual and shutter-priority, removes banding under LED walls and dimmed house lights. White balance offers Auto, Indoor, Outdoor, One Push, manual red/blue gain and a variable 2,500–8,000 K setting in 20 K steps. If a director needs more reach than the glass gives, SuperZoom doubles it to 40x at 1080p; standard digital zoom goes to 16x.

IP control uses VISCA over IP on TCP 5678 or UDP 1259, Sony VISCA over IP, an HTTP API and ONVIF Profile S. Serial lines reach 30 m on RS-232 and 1,200 m on RS-485, with VISCA, Pelco-D and Pelco-P, and the supplied IR remote addresses four cameras from up to 9 m. Pan sweeps ±170° at speeds from 0.7 to 100°/s, tilt spans −30° to +90° with a top speed of 69.9°/s, and 255 presets land within 0.1°; an Image Presets option decides whether presets also recall exposure and colour. The Horizon browser interface is included at no extra cost. On a tablet it gives each camera a tab, visual presets and a WebRTC preview, and its Color View page adds a waveform, an RGB parade and a vectorscope for matching the 20x to other cameras. vMix, OBS, Wirecast, TriCaster, mimoLive and Blackmagic switchers work with it, SuperJoy and PT-JOY-G4 joysticks control it via VISCA over IP, and a built-in tally lamp signals on-air status. HIVE Linked adds cloud monitoring across sites, while FreeD position data, still in beta, lets Unreal Engine LiveLink track a virtual set to the camera's moves.

A single Cat5e or Cat6 cable, 100 m at most, from a switch delivering PoE+ (802.3at) powers the camera and carries control and video; a 12 V DC socket covers locations without PoE. PTZOptics advises leaving Energy-Efficient Ethernet off on that switch port. The camera detects an inverted mount and flips its image; it works indoors between −10 °C and 40 °C, and NDAA compliance with ONVIF certification eases public-sector and university tenders. The grey housing is the sensible pick for black-box studios, dark lighting trusses and theatre ceilings, where a white head would show up in wide shots. Besides this single 4K PTZ camera, we carry Move 4K 20x bundles of three to six cameras with a PTZOptics joystick and, in the Full versions, a Netgear AV Line PoE+ switch, plus matching mounts, and we can price a complete camera, network and controller package against your room plan.
