Information

4K PTZ Camera with 20X Optical Zoom Auto Tracking and 12G-SDI Features

The PTC-305G is a professional-grade PTZ camera designed for broadcast applications, featuring 12G-SDI output. This allows it to deliver high-quality 4K 60p video over a SDI cable, making it ideal for professional broadcasting environments where top-tier video quality and seamless integration are paramount. Additionally, the PTC-305G is equipped with a 20X optical zoom, allowing for detailed close-ups and precise framing even from a distance. 

The PTC-305 series supports dual streaming output, making it ideal for professional broadcast and A/V market applications, and facilitates easy streaming to platforms like Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube, and dvCloud. Moreover, the PTC-305G includes integrated NDI control functionality, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency for modern live production environments.

Compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, the PTC-305G ensures compatibility and interoperability in various network video environments. For diverse workflow needs, Datavideo offers extended models like the PTC-305T 4K HDBaseT.

Simultaneous Outputs

Connect your PTC-305G to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time.

Quick Access to Camera's Auto Tracking

You will be allowed direct access to auto tracking via various external controllers such as the supplied RMC-1AT remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, PTC View Assist, etc.)

In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers which include iCAST mini, SHOWCAST 100, etc as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Hybrid Video Production Solution.

Custom Auto Object Tracking

If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for auto tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.

Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation

The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.

Talent Position: Center / Left Side / Right Side

The positioning of talent depends on the videographer's creativity and intent rather than strict rules. Different positions can convey various emotions, messages, or visual effects. A centered composition provides a sense of stability and balance, suitable for scenes that require highlighting the main subject. Videographers may also place the talent on the left third or right third of the frame, leaving adequate space in the foreground to showcase the talent's sight direction or potential future possibilities.

Quick Selection of Full Body / Half Body / Close-up

All of the PTC-305 camera series include RMC-1AT controller. User can quickly select full-body, half-body and close up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.

The PTC-305 series cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability in network video systems.

Datavideo PTZ Cameras Support NDI Features

Datavideo's PTZ camera series now supports NDI (Network Device Interface) features, enhancing their versatility and integration capabilities. With NDI, these cameras can transmit high-quality, low-latency video over IP networks, making them ideal for live production environments. The implementation of NDI utilizes the DVIP (Datavideo Protocol) ports, ensuring seamless connectivity and control. This advancement allows users to leverage the flexibility of IP-based workflows, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional cabling, ultimately streamlining the production process.

One Ethernet Cable with NDI | HX Technology

There is no need for multiple cables and complicated setup. Single-wire concept helps you to transfer video, audio, power, tally, and control over only one Ethernet cable.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality allows you transmit all the information and power over only one cable.
