Telycam Explore 500 4/3-inch 4K60 PTZ Camera

The Explore 500 is the top of Telycam's 2026 Explore line, built around a Sony 4/3-inch 9MP UHD CMOS sensor and a 20x zoom running f = 9.79 to 186.5mm at F2.8 to F4.5. An optical low-pass filter sits in front of the sensor to keep moire and aliasing off LED walls and patterned backgrounds, and a built-in variable ND filter steps light transmission through 1.6%, 6.3%, 25% and 100% without adding glass to the front element. Native AI auto-tracking and auto-framing follow a presenter without an external tracking box.

Outputs run in parallel: NDI and NDI HX3, 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI 2.0, SFP+ and USB Type-C, all capable of 4K60 on the fibre and SDI paths. Audio comes in on a mini XLR with phantom power or a 3.5mm stereo line input, and the camera takes DC 12V or POE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) over a single Cat cable. Control is RS232, RS485, RS422, VISCA over IP or NDI, with FreeD position data for virtual sets and dual front and rear tally lights. Part number TLC-900-IP-20-4K(NDI)-AB-G2, in black or white.
