PTZOptics PT12X-NDI-WH NDI Streaming
Camera
Overview
NDI is a paradigm shift that will increase what is possible in all things
live video. In this video, we will think outside the box about how to plan out
live streaming and video production systems in the world of IP. Using standard
networking infrastructure NDI will enable us to do more with less. We will
uncover new possibilities for low budget streaming and high-end video
productions system alike as we move toward the future of broadcast video over
IP.
Unparalleled Versatility
Remote camera control options when and where you want them. Whether the
controls are built-in to your favorite video production software or provided by
one of our hardware joystick controllers, you have a plethora of options.
NewTek NDI
Built-in NDI compatibility for NewTeks industry leading IP technology.
Instantly accessible over your network for audio, video and PTZ camera control.
NDI is a trademark of NewTek, Inc.
3G-SDI
3G-SDI is a preferred cabling for 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second
run over long distances.
Power Over Ethernet
TZOptics HD-SDI camera models also include PoE (Power Over Ethernet) which
can learn more about here. The Ethernet port can be used for power, control and
video/audio streaming.
RS-232/RS-485 Camera Control
Every PTZOptics includes in/out RS-232 ports and a RS-485. These ports use
VISCA commands to integrate with larger control systems such as Crestron and
Extron.
Live RTMP Streaming
Every PTZOpticscamera has the ability to live stream directly from the camera
to your favorite CDN. Simply plugin your CDNs RTMP Streaming information into
the IP interface of your camera and start streaming!
IP Video Streaming
Camerasinclude h.265 High-Efficiency Codec IP Streaming along with h.264 and
multicast streaming.
Three Simultaneous Video Outputs
Simultaneously produce 1080p60fps video from HDMI, 3G-SDI and multiple
H.264/H.265/MJPEG IP Streams for maximum flexibility.
Wide Field of View
The 12X models offer a wide field of view with the ability to zoom into
narrow a 6.9. The 20X Models offer a wide 60.7 FOV with a tight 3.36 FOV.
iOS Camera App
PTZOptics has an updated iOS camera control app available here. The app is
not included free with each camera cost. A free android app is available
here.
HDMI Video Connection
Every PTZOptics camera comes with a HDMI video output capable of video
resolutions up to 1080p.
3.5mm Audio Input
Every PTZOptics camera comes with a 3.5mm audio input you can use to embed
audio. The HD-SDI models support embedding audio via a line level input onto
HDMI and Ethernet for IP Streaming.
3 Year Warranty
PTZOptics offers the industries best 3 Year Warranty. Repairs are handled in
our USA repair center located outside Philadelphia, PA.
The Awesome Power of NDI
Low Hanging Fruit
Lets capture some low hanging fruit with the benefits of broadcast IP video
and eliminate the need for capture cards in our next live streaming system
design. Imagine an entire generation of video engineers who will never use
expensive SDI cabling and capture devices. Using NDI we will have access to
sources from anywhere on our network. We will no longer be restricted to sources
directly connected to a single system. Capture cards are used for low latency
video conversion from traditional HDMI or SDI video to USB or PCIe where we can
use them with production software such as vMix, Wirecast, Livestream and more.
What if we could eliminate the need for capture cards altogether by providing
the same quality, low latency video directly to Wirecast, vMix, LiveStream, OBS,
or xSplit over the Ethernet connection we are already using.
Add Cameras with Ease
In one fell swoop, we have eliminated a point of failure from our video
production workflow and reduced the cost of implementing a new system
dramatically. At the end of the day, we have opened up a whole new universe of
possibilities where the network you already have has become the preferred method
of video routing. Need another camera shot? Just run a single Cat-5 cable to the
PTZOptics NDI camera and you will have high-quality video, camera control and
power solved in an instant.
Where the rubber meets the road
This is where the rubber meets the road, unlike SDI cabling, Ethernet can
provide power for cameras using a PoE source, such as a switch, simplifying
installation and eliminating the need for additional outlets. And unlike
traditional RS-232 control cables, Ethernet can also be used to control our
cameras within your favorite video production software or via one of our IP
joysticks without requiring direct analog control cabling to each camera.
From the Boardroom to the Production Studio
NDI will make your transition to IP video simple. Want to add your PTZOptics
camera from the Studio into a GoToMeeting call with your Producer across the
world? No problem. Access it from any computer on your network using NDI
transmit or the output of your software based video switcher like Wirecast or
vMix. Your favorite video production software will become much more powerful
with access to all NDI sources on your network. Want to live stream with your
Main PC and setup a secondary machine for isolated recordings of each camera? No
problem. Download the free NDI IsoCorder app from NewTek and get started.
NewTek NDI Tools
As you can see, we can start to envision new IP workflows leveraging free and
professional IP video tools available from NewTek and 100s of other NDI
developers. Do you work with a creative team? They will love the free Adobe
Creative Cloud plugin for NDI. Are you working on a budget? Try out the free
Open Broadcaster Software plugin for NDI or start out with low-cost vMix HD
license. The move toward IP video production will make the answer to your next
live streaming challenge Sure, we can do that. Adding another camera to your
system will be easier than ever using a single ethernet cable for audio, video,
PTZ camera control and power to simplify your life.
Future Proof Solution
Accomplishing your goals with IP-based video will become a solution you wont
want to live without. At PTZOptics, we are here to help with training resources
and a dedicated support team. With NDI, NewTek has already done the heavy
lifting and paved a future proof solution for a world of high-quality IP video.
Live Streaming Rookies and Broadcast professionals alike will find ways to use
NDI compatible software and hardware to change the way we think about live
streaming and video production.
Free Training Course
Whether you are a school looking to broadcast a morning announcements show or
a small business adding live video into your marketing strategy with a PTZ
camera system, even teams of broadcast professionals will find IP video will
likely help you accomplish your goals.
We believe that this technology has the power to save organizations thousands
of dollars with live video projects small and large and that is why we have
joined 100s of other manufacturers in the industry standardizing around the
NewTek NDI protocol. A basic understanding of what is possible with IP Video and
NewTeks NDI will go a long way to paving a future proof solution for your live
video production. Whether you are a one-man production studio searching for ways
to do more with less, or an advanced team of Broadcast experts, we believe the
future of IP video will enhance your capabilities greatly.
