Combining the simplicity and control of a PTZ camera with NDI | HX 3 protocol, the NewTek PTZ3, in black, provides video professionals, technology managers, and A/V system integrators with an HD video PTZ camera for remote learning, hospitals, meeting rooms, and studios. The PTZ3 features a 20x optical zoom with 2x digital zoom capability and smooth, natural looking pans and tilts. It can send high-quality video with almost no latency while using less bandwidth than previous NDI protocols, and it features both SDI and HDMI outputs for local monitoring. Furthermore, the PTZ3 has a mini-XLR audio connection and includes an XLR to mini-XLR adapter for use with professional audio equipment.

The camera supports tally, control, power, audio, and video using a single network cable, allowing you to use the PTZ3 with any application that supports NDI. The single-cable connection simplifies placement of the camera, as you only have to run a single Ethernet cable, and do not need to run a separate power line. The included ceiling and wall mounts allow you to mount the PTZ3 out of the way, so you can control it remotely.

NDI Cameras can be easily integrated into any workflow and are automatically found once they join a network. The PTZ3 features integration of NDI | HX3, giving you the option to deliver low-latency transmission with reduced bandwidth, while maintaining the visually lossless standards NDI users' demand.

Use the professional mini-XLR audio input, in addition to the standard 3.5mm line-level, to deliver clean, professional-level audio directly from the camera into the NDI network. The XLR feature offers an array of connectivity options. When combined with NDI Audio Direct, the XLR audio connects to NDI receivers and virtually any audio software, providing unprecedented levels of creative flexibility.

Optionally allow multiple destinations to receive video from your NDI | HX PTZ camera without individual point-to-point connections to conserve network bandwidth.

PTZ3 offers synchronized preset starts and a new motion algorithm that helps create a natural look and feel to any production.

The NewTek PTZ3 can be added into any workflow with a single Ethernet cable for HD video up to 1080/60p, audio, PTZ presets and control, tally, and PoE.

Streamline installation and reduce cabling complexity, optionally eliminating the need for a separate power supply connection with support for Power over Ethernet via POE+.

Optionally acquire and deliver video into conventional workflows with support for 3G-SDI and HDMI hardware outputs.

Receive tally notification from compatible NDI devices via physical LEDs when video output from your NDI | HX PTZ Camera is visible on Program and/or Preview.

Operate camera controls, monitor video, manage login credentials, and configure audio, video, and network settings from any compatible networked device using the Web-based user interface or NewTek NDI Studio Monitor.

Capture live NDI | HX PTZ Camera video remotely from any compatible computer or device using NewTek NDI Studio Monitor.

Designate your NDI | HX PTZ Camera as the video input source in popular desktop video applications like Google Hangouts, GoToMeeting, Skype, Skype for Business, WebEx, Zoom, and more, via the included software driver.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is quality of NDI Video over network? Is it full uncompressed quality or is there a compression of some sort?

A: NDI was made to use existing 1 Gigabit networks to allow easy adoption of the NDI without installing new cabling. NDI does this by using video data compression within its codec. This delivers 1080 full HD video data rates at nominally 100mBit/sec with latency low enough for professional production.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with switchers other than NewTek? For example, the Blackmagic ATEM TV Studio Pro HD?

A: This camera has both SDI and HDMI outputs which will allow it to connect to any number of switchers, such as the ATEM TV Studio Pro HD.

Q: 3. What is the sensor size of this camera??

A: 1/3 is the size of the sensor.

Q: 4. Can the camera provide phantom power to a boundry microphone?

A: The NewTek PTZ3 UHD NDI Camera with 30x Optical Zoom does offer phantom power through the Mini-XLR port.

Q: 5. Do you need an expensive controller to operate the ptz, or can it be done through a web page?

A: There are web page controls for PTZ, but you can also use the free 'NDI Studio Monitor' application that runs on Windows PCs to control PTZ via an on screen interface or by using a Windows dual axis joystick.

Q: 6. Can this license be applied to the new PTZ SE cameras?
