4K Auto Tracking PTZ Camera with 12G-SDI Output

The PTC-285 series can be easily managed via the traditional RS-422 serial port or remotely through IP using DVIP (Datavideo's proprietary protocol) or Sony VISCA over IP. This cutting-edge 4K camera series supports dual streaming outputs for versatile A/V market applications, allowing effortless streaming to platforms like Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube, and dvCloud.

In addition to these features, the PTC-285G includes integrated NDI control functionality, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency for modern live production environments.

Simultaneous Outputs

Connect your PTC-285G to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time.

Quick Access to Camera's Auto Tracking

You will be allowed direct access to auto-tracking via various external controllers, such as the supplied RMC-1AT remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, PTC View Assist, etc.)

In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers, including iCAST mini, SHOWCAST 100, and more, as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Hybrid Video Production Solution.

Custom Auto Object Tracking

If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for auto-tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.

Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation

The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.

Talent Position: Centre / Left Side / Right Side

The positioning of talent depends on the videographer's creativity and intent rather than strict rules. Different positions can convey various emotions, messages, or visual effects. A centred composition provides a sense of stability and balance, suitable for scenes that require highlighting the main subject. Videographers may also place the talent on the left third or right third of the frame, leaving adequate space in the foreground to showcase the talent's sight direction or potential future possibilities.

Quick Selection of Full Body / Half Body / Close-up

All of the PTC-285 camera series include an RMC-1AT controller. Users can quickly select full-body, half-body and close-up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.

S-Shaped Speed Curve

The S-Shaped Speed Curve, inspired by the smooth acceleration and deceleration of a lift, is a pivotal feature that enhances the camera lens movement. Much like the elevator ride that starts and stops seamlessly, the PTC-285 camera ensures your video captures maintain uninterrupted fluidity.

This innovative technology eliminates any jerky movements that might be discernible to the naked eye, resulting in professional-quality, visually pleasing content. The S-Shaped Speed Curve is your assurance that the camera’s pan, tilt, and zoom functions will operate with precision and grace, delivering an unparalleled visual experience for your audience. Experience the future of camera movement with the PTC-285.

Low Noise in Low Light

Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.

Multiple Simultaneous Video Outputs

PTC-285G supports simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to 2160p 50/60 and 12G-SDI output up to 2160p 60/50.

Multiple Network Protocol with Dual Stream Function

It also supports RTSP and RTMPS protocols, making it easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud as well.

RS-422, DVIP and Ethernet Camera Control

RS-422 and ethernet allow you to use DVIP or VISCA over IP commands to integrate with larger control systems.

Compliant with the ONVIF Profile S Standard

The PTC-285 series cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability in network video systems.

One Ethernet Cable with NDI | HX Technology

There is no need for multiple cables and complicated setup. Single-wire concept helps you to transfer video, audio, power, tally, and control over only one Ethernet cable.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality allows you transmit all the information and power over only one cable. NDI is a registered trademark of Newtek, Inc.
