The Datavideo PTC-280 is a dark-blue 4K PTZ camera for conference rooms, education, worship spaces, live events and remote production. Its 12× optical zoom, 16× digital zoom and 255 preset positions make it easy to recall repeatable framing, from a wide room view to a close shot of a speaker. Video is available simultaneously over HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI and Gigabit Ethernet/IP, allowing the camera to feed a production system and network workflow in parallel. HDMI supports up to 2160p50/60 in YUV 4:2:0; SDI supports up to 1080p50/60. The built-in encoder supports two IP streams and H.264, H.265 or MJPEG. Control is available over IR, RS-422, DVIP, VISCA, Pelco-D/P and NDI; the camera also has a 3.5 mm stereo line input and can be powered by 12 V DC or IEEE 802.3at PoE+.

4K 12× PTZ CAMERA FOR LIVE PRODUCTION
The Datavideo PTC-280 is a dark-blue 4K PTZ camera for conference rooms, education, houses of worship, live events and remote production. Its 12× optical zoom, 16× digital zoom and 255 preset positions make it practical for a fixed installation that needs both a wide room view and repeatable close-ups.
Send video simultaneously through HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI and Gigabit Ethernet/IP. HDMI supports up to 2160p50/60 in YUV 4:2:0; SDI supports up to 1080p50/60. The camera can also encode two IP streams for distribution over a local network or supported streaming platforms.
Recall up to 255 camera positions and adjust pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris and white balance using the included infrared remote, the RS-422 serial connection, or network control. Supported control protocols include DVIP, Sony VISCA over IP, VISCA, Pelco-D, Pelco-P and NDI control.
The PTZ View Assist app can monitor and control up to four compatible Datavideo cameras. The PTC-280 also supports external stereo line-level audio through its 3.5 mm input and has a 1/4″-20 UNC tripod thread.
The built-in encoder supports H.264, H.265 and MJPEG with RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, SRT, ONVIF, multicast and NDI|HX network workflows. Dual-stream output lets the camera provide a main stream and a lower-resolution secondary stream at the same time.
Use the included 12 V DC adapter or power the camera over Ethernet with IEEE 802.3at PoE+. A ceiling-mount bracket is included; compatible WM-1, WM-10 and WM-11 wall mounts are available separately.
The 4.4–52.8 mm lens frames both wide shots and distant speakers; 16× digital zoom is available when additional enlargement is needed.
HDMI, 3G-SDI and Ethernet/IP allow the camera to feed production and streaming systems in parallel.
The included ceiling brackets and 255 presets support repeatable framing in classrooms, meeting spaces, studios and worship venues.
