PTZs Packing a punch
Sony's BRC-X400/SRG-X400/X120
newly support the SRT streaming
protocol
with
Sony's unique
ARC
(Adaptive Rate Control) technology.
Poor network conditions can mean
glitchy, stuttering video streams with
distorted
or
frozen
pictures.
SRT
technology addresses the challenges
of remote video contribution while
maintaining speedy delivery.
" The latest software version allows
the cameras to output SRT video/audio
which can be directly streamed to
the cloud via public internet, " Paquet
explains. " Sony offers some unique
features in this regard, namely a stable
and high-quality streaming through
the use of SRT & ARC technology, as
well as effectively creating a one-stop
solution for native cloud production
(what we call Virtual Production). "
Sony began supporting the FreeD
protocol in 2020 for its BRC range of
PTZs and has since been expanding
its ecosystem with various 'virtual
solution' providers this year. These
collaborations make the design of
virtual studios simpler and more
effective. These include Mo-Sys,
Brainstorm, Pixotope, Zero Density
and Skaarhoj.
Marshall Electronics'
CV730
contains a variety of I/O options for
onsite production workflows, REMI
production, or hybrid production
events. Available outputs include low
latency 12GSDI, HDMI, IP(SRT), NDI and
even USB3.0.
According to the company's Director,
Tod Musgrave, the CV730 is designed
around a UHD sensor producing up
to 3840x2160p at 60fps, as well
as support for HD resolutions in
progressive and interlaced. The 30x
zoom range starts with a wide angle
70-degree (4mm) angle-of-view
through a long telephoto 3-degree
(135mm) which is more than enough
zoom to reach most of the
long shots.

other live productions where image
synchronization is crucial. Remote
control capabilities are made possible
through the JVC RM-LP100 Remote

Selecting the NDI model (CV730-NDI)
and using the newly release NDI5 tools
permits remote, cloud or hybrid-based
productions to become much easier
from anywhere in the world, he says.
The model is available in standard
IP (CV730-BK/WH) where Secure
Reliable Network (SRT) might be the
chosen path boasting pristine quality,
low-latency
live
networks.
" There is undeniable convenience of
having one-cable to camera from an
IP (PoE) switch, and our collaboration
with NDI and SRT software designers
was a game changer enhancing
usability of IP in all types of
workflows. " Choose a hardware

The camera is equipped with a

allows for versatility in current and
future production systems.
of the CV730
platform is that it provides flexibility
and versatility as an all-in-one camera
model with exceptional broadcast
video quality. "
Among JVC's PTZ range is the new
4K KY-PZ400N camera for streaming
remote production over the internet.
It is equipped with a 4K 1/2.5-inch
progressive scanning CMOS
image sensor, NDI|HX
and SRT streaming and
H.265/H.264/MJPEG
encoding. Additionally,
with the incorporated
Vertical Interval Time

(VITC)
camera
with
Network Time Protocol
(NTP), the new JVC
PTZ
also
features multi-camera
synchronization for
live event production.

The software version 2.16 makes
the AW-UE150 series compatible with
FreeD and Augmented Reality (AR) and
Virtual Reality (VR) systems.
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

" 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. 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. "
