The camera features remote pan, tilt, and zoom control via a remote control or via IP and serial protocols, and its built-in zoom lens offers an optical zoom range of 12x with a 16x digital zoom to view just about any angle in your setting. The camera supports frame rates and resolutions up to 4K, allowing you to utilize high-quality video for your broadcasts and internet streams. The camera sends video over its HDMI and/or 3G-SDI ports to compatible HDMI or SDI video converters, switchers, recorders, or other devices. It can also live stream video via the LAN Ethernet port.

With 255 programmable preset positions, you can set the camera to rapidly move between positions using a variety of protocols including DVIP over your LAN, RS-422 using an optional serial controller, or IR control using the included IR remote. The camera compresses using the common, high-quality H.264 and H.265 protocols for streaming over your LAN, and you can simultaneously encode two live video streams using standard RTSP or RTMP protocols that are compatible with a variety of Internet streaming sites. The camera also supports external audio input via its 3.5mm stereo line-level input, and you can mount the camera via the 1/4"-20 threaded mounting thread. There is a red/green tally light on the camera so your room will know whether the camera is on or off.

The camera is powered by the included power adapter, and it includes a ceiling mount bracket. You can utilize the separately available WM-1, WM-10, or WM-11 wall mount kits if you prefer to mount the camera on a wall.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the expected latency for the SDI output?

A: This is not specified by the manufacturer at the moment. In general, one can expect 0 to 2 frames latency; selected frame rate, quality and length of the cabling also play a big factor.

Q: 2. Does this work with the Sony RM-BR300 joystick? It uses Visca protocol.

A: The Datavideo PTC-150T does use the VISCA and DVIP protocol. On the HBT-11 Receiver Box provided in the package, it does offer RS-422 and RS-232. The PTZ camera itself offers a HDBase T port as well as RS-422. The RM-BR300 does offer control capability through RS-232 and RS422. You will need to wire the cables either from the HBT-11 receiver box or camera to the RM-BR300.

Q: 3. How is this unit powered?

A: An AC power supply is included in the box with this camera.

Q: 4. Is the manual focus control knob and the iris/shutter knob smooth when turning (ie. clickless)? Or does it advance to set stops when turning? Wondering if you can "find your focus" like you would with a broadcast or SLR lens.

A: This a very smooth controller.

Q: 5. Will this camera work with the Vaddio ProductionVIEW Super Joystick?

A: Sorry, no. It will work with a Datavideo controller like this one. Datavideo RMC-190 Camera Controller for PTC-120 B&H # DARMC190.

Q: 6. Can I send signal wirelessly? Obviously I won't be able to power it wirelessly.

A: It cannot. HDBaseT is a wired system.

Q: 7. Does this come with a tripod?

A: No, a tripod is not included with the Datavideo TP-900 Presentation Prompter Kit for PTZ Cameras (BH #DATP900).

Q: 8. will the the panasonic ue150 fit in this one?

A: Datavideo states that the Datavideo TP-900 Presentation Prompter Kit for PTZ Cameras is compatible with almost all sizes of PTZ cameras. Considering the Panasonic AW-UE150K UHD 4K 20x PTZ Camera is around the same size as many other PTZ cameras, we expect that it would fit.

Q: 9. Does this work with the Sony SRG-300H camera?

A: no it will not

Q: 10. I see PoE mentioned in the description. Can these cameras be powered, controlled and stream all over ethernet simultaneously?

A: Yes, Datavideo, does state that through the HDBaseT port, "all signals, power, and control data travel through a single CAT6". https://www.datavideo.com/us/product/PTC-140T
