BZBGear BG-Commander PTZ Joystick Controller

The BG-Commander is the full-size joystick in the BZBGear line and is meant to live on a production desk rather than in a rack. It drives cameras over IP or over RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485, and speaks VISCA, VISCA over IP, ONVIF, Pelco-P and Pelco-D, so it is not tied to BZBGear heads.

Power comes over the network cable via PoE or from the supplied 12 V supply, which keeps the desk tidy in a control room where the only cable to the panel is the one carrying camera control. The button beep can be switched off for a live environment.
