The Sky is The Limit

The Marshall CV730

Marshall offers a variety of HD
and UHD PTZ cams from the CV620
with HD60fps and 20x optical zoom
all the way up to the CV730 with
UHD60fps and 30x optical zoom. All
models contain the same smooth and
synchronous pan, tilt, zoom and focus.
All also have the ability to save up to
250+ preset positions and multiple
transition speeds from ultra-slow 5°
per second to 300° per second for
quick setup.
The Marshall CV630 and CV730
contain one cable to camera setup
with IP (Ethernet) connection for
video, audio, power, control and tally
in addition to NDI|HX integration with
easy discovery over existing networks
and low latency video transmission.
The Marshall broadcast level VSPTC-IP controller provides direct dial

adjustment of colour, exposure, white
balance, and joystick and rocker dial
for zoom and focus.
" PTZ cameras provide an
opportunity for fewer camera
operators to get more shots
from multiple perspectives of the
production from a single controller, "
says Tod Musgrave, Director of
Cameras. " Operators can setup
alternative points of view and switch
between them. This ability allows for
more creative perspectives, which
enhances production value of the
event or production. When content can
be seen from multiple perspectives it
increases viewer participation with a
deeper immersive viewer experience. "
Datavideo claims its PTC-140 is
currently the most cost effective
professional PTZ camera with NDI|HX
technology on the market. Its new
RMC-300A camera controller can
control up to 24 Datavideo cameras
using IP technology and features a
touch panel to control all camera
parameters.
" Our PTZ cameras are used
anywhere, but the coolest place we've
seen was underwater at a waterpolo
training facility in Hungary, " says
Valentijn Diemel, Marketing Manager
EMEA. " They've encased them in
special waterproof housings and put
them underwater to see the movement
of the individual players. "
He explains, " Datavideo PTZ cameras
use stepper motors, so getting back
to the exact same position each time
is a piece of cake. Combined with IP
control we can make them do the
same motion time and time again.
This means that they are exceptionally
suited to be put in a system
where they are operated
automatically.

Lumens latest 4K UHD PTZ is equipped
with NDI|HX allowing the camera to
deliver and receive high video quality
with ultra-low latency

" Using AI you can incorporate
tracking of a person moving on
stage, however this comes with some
pitfalls. As you can imagine you should
carefully buffer the motions to prevent
a jerky image when someone moves
back and forth the whole time. "
Lumens Digital Optics offers another
NDI connected model. The VC-A61PN
transmits 4K 30fps video image quality
directly to NDI. Its power, signal, and
control go over a single cable allowing
users you to reach a larger audience
via live streaming with a simpler and
quicker installation process without
bulky cables. In addition, the VC-A61PN
offers multiple interfaces such as
HDMI and 3G-SDI, which enhances the
convenience in connectivity.
" With its 4K UHD ultra-clear video
quality and a powerful 30x optical
zoom capability, the camera can
perfectly frame presenters and
deliver outstanding detail and clarity
to participants that are located far
away, " the company says. " Even with
low light or the extreme contrast of
brightness and darkness in a room, a
clear image is delivered. This makes it
the preferred camera for capturing live
events under any environment. "

Panasonic's flagship UE150 features
a 1-inch sensor with 4K/50p images
with the option of fibre or 12G video
output. Its optics are built well enough
to support usage within both AR and
VR environments.
" They have allowed us to support
the growth of fixed-rig for factual
programming, as well as within
television studios or used in locations
for beauty shot cuts, " says Oliver
Newland, Field Marketing Manager.
" We are constantly seeing PTZ
cameras being placed in locations
where high-quality video is desired,
but it is otherwise difficult or
unobtainable to have a camera
operator permanently located. "
This includes a growth in lecture
capture systems for higher education
to support distance learning, court
rooms as seen by the Supreme
Court of the UK, or in-house studios
and auditoriums for multinational
organisations to help deliver both
internal and external content as with
RWE in Germany.
" We've also seen our PTZ camera
technology be used to continue
bringing the performing arts to global
audiences throughout the
