PTZOptics PT-JOY-G4 IP/Serial Joystick Controller

The PT-JOY-G4 is PTZOptics' fourth-generation joystick controller, the hands-on desk unit for driving pan, tilt, and zoom across a network of cameras. A three-axis joystick gives you smooth, variable-speed moves, and a single Ethernet run both powers the controller over PoE and reaches every camera on the network, so one operator can jump between angles without a rack of cabling.

It controls up to 255 cameras over IP and up to seven over serial VISCA, and it speaks to most PTZ cameras running serial or IP protocol, including Sony. Alongside the RJ45 network port it carries RS-232 and RS-422/485 serial connections plus a 12V DC input. The unit ships with a 12V 2A international power supply, an 8-foot RS-232C cable, and a quick start guide, and is backed by a 2-year warranty.
