Z CAM P2-R1 18x Zoom is a professional PTZ camera for fixed rigs that need cinematic subject separation and consistent colour without a dedicated operator. The large 1/1.3" CMOS sensor, Z CAM colour science and selectable looks including Rec.709 and HLG support reliable camera matching in multi-camera control rooms. Exposure control spans 1/10000–1 s shutter with gain up to 24 dB (ISO 800–25600) when venues move from stage spots to LED walls.
The integrated optics deliver an 18x optical zoom covering a 35 mm-equivalent 36–648 mm range, with a fast f/1.6–f/3.5 aperture and a horizontal 51°–3.6° field of view for back-of-room close-ups. PDAF autofocus plus manual focus handle fast presenter movement, while E.I.S. and precision PTZ mechanics (pan 350°, tilt 240°, up to 180°/s, 0.01° accuracy) keep reframes repeatable. The camera also supports intelligent AI auto framing when you need consistent framing during panel discussions.
Connectivity is production-centric: HDMI 2.0 outputs up to UHD 4K 59.94p, 3G-SDI covers HD program feeds, and RJ45 IP plus USB-C 3.0 fit modern routing and USB workflows. Internal recording to SD (H.265, 8-bit, up to 4K60) provides a safety master, and 1080p120 supports high-motion analysis and replay. IP streaming supports RTMP/RTMPS, RTSP, SRT and SSP.
Operational tools target broadcast installs: a front tally light, web client control, VISCA over IP or RS-422, and up to 256 presets via CGI (100 via VISCA) for instant shot recall. Power can run over a single cable via PoE+ (802.3at) or 12 V DC (18 W max); Genlock input supports multi-camera sync. Feed audio through the 3.5 mm mic/line input and deploy P2-R1 in TV studios, corporate stages, houses of worship, esports and lecture capture where deterministic presets and low-latency streaming matter.
