PTZOptics LINK 4K

The Link 4K is PTZOptics' Dante-enabled line of 4K pan-tilt-zoom cameras, and the 30X model is the long-throw member of the family: a 30x optical zoom on a Sony 1/2.5-inch CMOS sensor pulls a tight, usable shot from the back of a large auditorium, arena, or house of worship. Dante AV-H carries the video, audio, and control on the same Dante platform the rest of the venue runs, so the camera slots into an existing routing system rather than a parallel one.

Presenter-Lock AI auto-tracking locks onto a chosen presenter even when others share the frame and follows them up to 300 feet, so one operator can run a stage from the booth. HDMI 2.0 runs 4K at 60fps, while 3G-SDI, USB 2.0, and Dante AV-H carry 1080p60. A PoE+ (802.3at) connection powers and controls the camera on one cable, with 12V DC as a backup, and a built-in tally light shows talent when they are live. In the box: camera, AC power supply, USB A-A cable, RS-232 cable, IR remote, two AA batteries, and quick start guide.
