Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work on Sony BRC X1000 , Panasonic 22X hdmi NDI

A: No, Sony and Panasonic IP controlled PTZ cameras require their respective branded controllers for complete compatibility and operation. Controllers such as: SORMIP10 for Sony PAAWRP60GJQ for Panasonic

Q: 2. How is this unit powered?

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

Q: 3. If I would like to transmit wirelessly to a television which is approximately 80 ft away, with two walls between - would this be possible? Could a smart TV with WI-FI alone, pick up good A/V in this scenario? Thanks very much for your reply.

A: This is not a wireless camera and intervening walls make it very difficult to transmit wirelessly. A TV will not natively pick up a television signal from a camera over Wi-Fi.

Q: 4. We have a conference that isn't very brightly lit, and there is an overhead projector that projects to a screen next to the presenter. Can this camera handle the person standing in the dim area of the room with a bright screen nearby?

A: This camera uses a 1/2.8" EXMOR Sensor. It should give you a decent performance in lower light.

Q: 5. Can this be used anywhere else in the world other than USA?

A: Yes, it may be used anywhere in the world for web based delivery (just be careful to use the proper AC power adapters for the region you're in), but if you plan to broadcast via television, then please note that this is an NTSC signal, which will not work in countries using PAL.

Q: 6. Is it possible to zoom the camera on an object. We would like to present devices to our clients via Zoom, sometimes we want to close the picture in on a particular component - even if we do it manually with a remote. Does it have this capability?

A: Yes. This camera features a 20x optical zoom... It is not a macro zoom so it will have certain limitations to how close you can get from very short distances, but it does give you a fairly impressive zooming capability.

Q: 7. 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: 8. How many computers/cameras can one software download be used with? Can one computer run this software for multiple cameras?

A: A single camera can connect to a single PC only.

Q: 9. Can this control a Marshall PTZ camera over a WAN? Meaning, when the camera is at a remote IP with open ports?

A: We are only aware that it will control cameras on a LAN network.

Q: 10. Would this work well for videoing aircraft aerobatic practice over an airfield? A small performance plane - not jets.

A: This system is really meant to track a speaker giving a presentation. We are not sure how well it will work for an airplane, as it is not really what it is designed for. This may be a situation where manually pan, tilting and zooming will work better than a following system.
