Datavideo PTC-285 4K PTZ Camera w/Tracking

The PTC-285 is a 4K PTZ camera with AI object tracking, built to keep a presenter framed without an operator on the joystick. You designate a single person, and the camera follows only that subject, ignoring desks, cross traffic, and large objects that would fool a simpler tracker. Behind the automation sits a 1/2.5 inch, 8.51 MP CMOS sensor with 12x optical and 16x digital zoom.

It outputs simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP up to 2160p 50/60, with a 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60/50 for the switcher, and carries NDI|HX for network production. PoE means a single Cat cable delivers power, data, and control, which makes ceiling and wall installs clean and quick. A tally light indicates on-air status, and the included wireless remote can command up to four Datavideo PTC series cameras.
