The Datavideo PTC-280W 12x 4K PTZ Camera, White is a professional-grade PTZ camera designed for live production, broadcasting, video conferencing, and more. This versatile camera boasts exceptional video quality, flexible control options, and easy installation, making it a valuable asset for a variety of applications.

The PTC-280 captures stunning 4K resolution video at up to 60 frames per second, ensuring crisp and detailed visuals. The 12x optical zoom lens allows you to get close to the action, while the simultaneous streaming capabilities enable you to stream to multiple platforms simultaneously using HDMI, SDI, and IP outputs. The camera also supports RTSP, RTMPS, and NDI protocols for further flexibility.

With dual video encoding, you can stream high-quality video to two different platforms at once. The PTC-280 supports H.264/H.265 encoding for resolutions up to 4K and a secondary stream at 720p. Installation is simplified with Power over Ethernet (PoE), eliminating the need for separate power outlets.

The PTC-280 features a wide 71-degree field of view, ideal for capturing expansive scenes. Controlling the camera is a breeze with various options available. You can use the traditional RS-422 serial port, IP, DVIP (Datavideo proprietary protocol), or Sony VISCA over IP. Datavideo also offers a free PTZ View Assist app for iOS and Android devices. This app allows you to monitor live video feeds, control up to 4 cameras simultaneously, adjust presets, and manage white balance, focus, and iris settings.

Advanced noise reduction technology ensures clear images even in low-light environments. Integrated tally lights provide visual feedback for preview and program status during broadcast applications. The PTC-280 is available in a black or white finish to match your installation environment.
