It transmits up to 1080p60 video and supports H.264/H.265 streaming for network distribution. The package enables discreet ceiling or wall installation and integrates tally and audio input for production visibility.
The camera provides 20x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom for precise framing and subject isolation – with autofocus and manual focus options for accurate imaging. Pan and tilt ranges of 340deg and 120deg and programmable presets let operators move quickly between positions. The camera supports 255 presets and multiple control protocols including VISCA, RS-232, Pelco-D/P, IR and DVIP over LAN.
Image performance is driven by a 1/2.8″ CMOS sensor and 2.07 megapixel effective resolution that deliver 1920 x 1080 at up to 60 fps. Noise reduction and adjustable gain controls improve low-light performance down to 0.5 Lux, while white balance and exposure settings offer reliable color and exposure control. The optical lens covers a 5.2 to 98 mm focal range with a horizontal field of view from 54.7 to 3.3 deg.
