Pan sweeps ±170° with a 100°/s ceiling; the head tilts between −30° and +90° and stores 255 presets recalled within 0.1°. September 2026 firmware lets a preset restore its stored image settings or move position only, keeping current exposure. Handy when daylight in a conference hall drifts through the afternoon.

The PT-JOY-G4 joystick controller puts iris, shutter and gain on dials, with five exposure modes (three of them priority modes), red/blue gain, five white-balance options, focus with lock and a fine zoom knob for slow on-air reframing. Pan speed has 24 steps, tilt 20, zoom 7. Ten custom buttons, automatic triggers that fire a command to the vision mixer whenever the operator selects another camera, and settings import/export over LAN let a crew reload the same desk layout for each recurring event.

Control travels over the network as VISCA over IP, with up to 253 addresses, or over serial. Serial VISCA tops out at seven cameras, so all six heads can share one RS-485 bus running up to 1,200 m when a venue's network is off-limits. Pelco-D/P remains available for older systems.

On the IP side, NDI|HX3 runs natively (NDI 6.3) in the HDMI-SDI/IP video mode, putting six sources straight into a TriCaster, vMix or OBS. NDI transport can be set to RUDP, TCP, UDP or multicast; multicast pays off when several receivers pull the same six streams through one switch. RTMP/RTMPS, SRT and RTSP (H.265, H.264 or MJPEG) run alongside, so one head can push a backup feed to a CDN while the rest serve the gallery.

Baseband goes out over 3G-SDI or HDMI 1.3, one or the other. A dedicated 30 fps mode brings USB-C into play for Teams and Zoom calls, though it switches HX3 off. Audio uses 3.5 mm line in and out, sampled at 48 or 44.1 kHz, and G.711 encoding was added for third-party conferencing and recording systems.

Cameras and joystick all draw 802.3af PoE, so seven ports on one switch, about 108 W of class budget in total, carry everything the kit needs. No switch is included, a sensible split when the venue's IT team already runs the network, and every unit also comes boxed with a 12 V adapter. One planning note: the Move SE's IR remote addresses only four cameras, so in a six-head room the joystick and web UI become the main control path.

Integrators get API routes that confirm when a recalled preset has arrived, report whether a head is still moving and return stills from either stream, useful for room-control scripts. Add image flip for ceiling mounting, a Kensington slot, privacy mode, ONVIF login protection enabled from the first boot, plus NDAA compliance, which public-sector tenders often require. Indoor operation, −10 °C to 40 °C.

Typical jobs: six-angle talk shows and video podcasts, hybrid conferences with a dedicated head on the audience, university courses recorded in adjacent halls from one control position, and town halls streamed to several platforms at once. Share the floor plan, camera-to-subject distances and your switcher model, and our team will confirm interoperability with your gallery, size the PoE switch and recommend mounts before dispatch.
