Description
The PTC-285G is a 4K PTZ camera engineered for professional broadcast and live production environments – it delivers 2160p video up to 60fps while supporting NDI HX, 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs. The camera combines a 1/2.8″ Sony CMOS sensor and 12x optical zoom to capture detailed imagery across wide and close framing. Integrated auto-tracking and PID-based speed adaptation provide reliable subject follow performance for single-operator workflows.
Key capabilities include NDI HX over a single Ethernet cable with PoE, simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and 12G/3G-SDI outputs, and dual-stream H.264/H.265 encoding for distribution and CDN streaming. The PTC-285G supports RTSP, RTMP(S), SRT and dvCloud workflows and offers NDI Virtual Input compatibility for conferencing platforms. The camera also supports ONVIF Profile S and multiple control protocols including VISCA over IP and Datavideo DVIP.
Image performance is driven by a 1/2.8″ Sony CMOS sensor with approximately 8.51 megapixels and 3D noise reduction for improved low-light clarity. Minimum illumination is 0.5 lux at F1.8 with AGC enabled, and the electronic shutter range is 1/30s to 1/10000s. Optical focal length is 4.4mm to 52.8mm (F1.8 to F2.6) delivering an 80 degree horizontal field of view at wide angle and a total of 12x optical zoom plus 16x digital zoom.
Connectivity options include HDMI 2.0, 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI and a GigE RJ45 port with PoE (IEEE 802.3at). Audio input is a 3.5mm mic/line jack and streaming supports AAC and G711 audio codecs. Control interfaces include IR remote, RS-422/RS-232, DVIP, VISCA, Pelco-P/Pelco-D and NDI control. Tally lights and web GUI preview are included for studio monitoring and operator feedback.
Typical use cases include multi-camera studio production, lecture capture, worship services and corporate presentations where remote operation and networked video transport are required. The PTC-285G’s auto-tracking, preset recall and PTZ speed curve make it suitable for single-operator or automated systems. NDI and SRT support simplify integration into modern networked production infrastructures.
Installation is simplified by PoE support and small footprint mounting options including ceiling brackets. The camera is available in black or white and includes configurable presets and firmware updates via Web UI or USB. Built from broadcast-grade components, the unit is intended for continuous operation in studio and installed environments and offers dependable performance and multiple control and streaming options.
