These can all be replaced by a single ethernet cable, giving you more options when it comes to where the camera can be installed and used. Anywhere a remotely controlled PTZ camera can be used, an NDI PTZ1 would do the same job more simply. There’s no need for communication cables to and from the camera nor for a power source. The NDI HX-PTZ1 also has 3G-SDI and HDMI output, but NDI makes these redundant.
It can send and receive high-quality video with low latency for frame-accurate switching. NDI is a protocol that allows for two way communication to a camera. If you are not familiar with NDI, you should be.
That single ethernet cable will even provide power to the camera. With just one ethernet cable, you can transmit video from the camera and also control the pan, tilt and zoom along with focus and exposure. Sure, it can shoot 1080 60p and has a 20 times optical zoom, but this PTZ camera also has NDI built in - and that’s it secret. The NewTek NDI HX-PTZ1 is no ordinary pan tilt zoom camera.
