PTZ Camera Trends
PTZ cameras still continue to grow in popularity as production tools, not least in applications
such as stage events or sports where they allow a production team to capture wide-angle
or close-up images efficiently and unobtrusively - by David Kirk...
R
emotely controlled PTZ cameras
have long been among the most
useful of television production tools,
allowing

quality of PTZ camera sensors and
optics has improved in recent years,
allowing easier integration with
the output
from high-specification
broadcast cameras.
Many current-generation PTZ pan
and tilt motor mechanisms allow

acceleration/deceleration
during live
transmission rather than jerked into
position while the camera is offline.
The transition from remote control
to autonomous
robotic
control
is
also progressing and looks likely
to become a standard capability in
practically all PTZ cameras.
This
article looks
at
options including SDI, HDMI,
Full
NDI, NDI|HX2, NDI|HX3, SRT and
h.264 and well as balanced XLR
audio. The user interface provides
system statistics such as the number
of
bandwidth usage, and
recent
introductions from some of the major
providers.
BirdDog has expanded its range of
NDI PTZ cameras with the new P240.
" The P240 builds on the innovations
of our P200 series cameras to further
advance the category of best-in-class
PTZ cameras and set a new standard
in the industry for format support,
connection flexibility, and picture
quality, while delivering excellent
low light performance, " comments
Eamon Drew, Chief Marketing Officer
at BirdDog. The P240 includes an
updated Sony Exmor R broadcast
sensor and offers multiple output
traffic. Operators can select an NDI
source as the timing master. The
P240 supports the FreeD protocol
for sending PTZ positioning data to
AR/VR systems. The cameras can
generate reference patterns as
NDI and/or NDI Proxy. Users
can choose from histogram,
waveform, vectorscope or
RGB parade and the position
on the NDI stream. Adding a
BirdDog Cloud subscription allows
access the cameras from anywhere
in the world with no additional
computers needed on the camera
side. 64 levels of saturation and hue
control over red, green, blue, cyan,
yellow and magenta are provided.
A free BirdDog Cam Control app is
available for Windows 10.
Canon's CR-N700 is a PTZ camera
capable of delivering 3840 x 2160

support for PQ as well as HLG HDR.
Autofocus locks onto a presenter's
head, tracking moves or turns to face

while
face-priority AF allows operators to

with virtual productions. Connectivity
options include 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI,
HDMI or PoE++ IP as well as dual XLR
audio inputs and genlock. The drive
mechanism
enables
movements
down to 1 degree per second and is
compatible with Canon's RC-IP100
controller, RCCA controllers
and
some third-party controllers. A crop
function allows a region of interest
within the frame to be selected and
output in HD as a secondary feed.
