Datavideo PTC-280 4K PTZ Camera

The PTC-280 is a 4K professional PTZ camera built around a 1/2.5 inch, 8.51-megapixel CMOS sensor with a 12x optical zoom and a bright F1.8 lens that holds down to 0.5 lux. It outputs Ultra HD over HDMI 2.0 and IP up to 2160p 50/60 while also sending 3G-SDI up to 1080p 60/50, so the same camera can feed a 4K recorder and an HD switcher at once. Advanced 2D/3D noise reduction keeps low-light rooms clean.

Because it carries a built-in dual-stream H.264/H.265 encoder, the PTC-280 can push two simultaneous streams to services like Facebook (RTMPS) and YouTube without an external encoder. Control comes over traditional RS-422 serial or IP, using Datavideo's DVIP protocol or Sony VISCA over IP, and the included wireless remote can drive up to four Datavideo PTC-series cameras. Pair it with an RMC-300A panel for full joystick control across a bank of cameras.
