Description

The PTC-155 is an AI-powered PTZ camera designed to capture Full HD 1080p60 video with precise subject tracking. It combines a 1/2.8 inch CMOS sensor and a dual-lens system to deliver stable, sharp footage across a wide field of view. The camera supports both live streaming and professional signal outputs to fit modern AV workflows.

Key features include AI auto-tracking, a secondary ultra-wide lens for full-stage coverage, and 30x optical zoom plus 16x digital zoom to frame distant subjects accurately. Built-in advanced 2D/3D noise reduction preserves image clarity in challenging lighting conditions. The integrated PID-based PTZ control and S-shaped speed curve ensure smooth, natural panning and zooming movements.

Technically, the PTC-155 records 1920×1080 at up to 60fps and encodes dual streams in H.264 and H.265 formats. Audio is supported in AAC, MP3, and PCM codecs and tally lights indicate preview and program status.

Network protocols include RTSP, RTMP(S), DHCP, TCP/IP, HTTP and Multicast, while ONVIF Profile S ensures compatibility with many IP systems. Control options include RS-422, VISCA over IP, Datavideo DVIP and the PTZ View Assist app for multi-camera management.

The PTC-155 suits theaters, lecture halls, corporate stages and houses of worship where reliable automated tracking and broadcast-quality video are required. Its dual-lens design helps retain context while following a performer or speaker across a large area. The camera is available in black or white to match install aesthetics.

Installation and daily operation are straightforward thanks to web-based preview and control, preset recall via controllers or apps, and single-cable NDI|HX3 operation for combined power, control and media. The unit is designed for continuous operation and reduced heat thanks to the efficient Sony CMOS sensor. Overall, the PTC-155 delivers an automated, network-ready PTZ solution for live production environments.
