Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the benefit of having a 4K sensor in the 8.51MP Full HD 3G-SDI Indoor ePTZ ZCam Box Camera?

A 4K sensor allows you to capture zoomed-in views while maintaining the high-quality resolution of 1080p and 720p. It also enables digital ePTZ functionality, letting you determine the maximum zoom level that suits your project, thereby optimizing your 4K image output.

What does 'Dual SDI outputs' mean for this camera?

Dual SDI outputs mean that the camera can produce two separate video feeds at the same time. This allows for seamless cutting between wide and tight camera views from the same camera, adding a dynamic element to your video production.

What is the purpose of the iOS/Android Control App?

The iOS/Android Control App allows you to remotely control and manage the camera. This includes adjusting settings, controlling the pan, tilt, and zoom, and viewing the camera feed from your smartphone or tablet.

What does 'Power Over Ethernet' mean?

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network cables to carry electrical power. For devices like this camera, PoE means you only need one cable for both data connection and electrical power, simplifying installation.

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MARK M : Seems to be a good single camera option to cover a small to medium space. Good image quality, easy to set up and control over IP link.

Amazing little camera

Using these for recording my band. Best if you start with SDI first and go to IP. Watch the youtube videos for undocumented features. Getting all the software bits working is a bit of a chore the first time. The camera itself has exceeded expectations in every regard, with the eptz functionality quite useful in context. It's early days, but so far a happy buyer.

Dual Output SDI ZCams
With the latest 4K video camera sensor built-in you can captured zoomed in views while maintaining 1080p and 720p quality levels. Determine the maximum zoom level that fits your project to get the most out of your 4K image. Zoom into your 4K image and create digital ePTZ presets that you can recall with the click of a button.

Digital PTZ inside 4K
EPTZ simulates pan, tilt and zoom operations inside of a large resolution pixel space. For example, a 4K image space allows for 3X lossless digital zoom with a 720p output. With two unique SDI outputs, your production can effectively cut between wide and tight camera views from the same camera.

Overview Video
The EPTZ ZCams are going to change the way you think about 4K and 1080p production environments using the power of electronic Pan, Tilt and Zoom.

Ultra HD Video
A large UHD CMOS image sensor and camera lens make close up details more realistic on video. Whether you are recording a video, live streaming, or video conferencing details will look crisper even when digitally enhanced with ePTZ.

Two Cameras In One
This short set up video shows you how quickly you can use this camera with two SDI video sources in your system. Learn how to connect and control this camera on your network.

Consider controlling this PTZ camera with the (IP Joystick or NDI studio monitor). Once connected to your LAN (Local Area Network) you can also control this camera with our free PTZ control applications for Mac and PC OR with a compatible video production software such as vMix, Wirecast, OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), NewTek Tricasters, MimoLive and more.
