The Datavideo PTC-285 is a professional 4K PTZ camera with 12x optical and 16x digital zoom for live production, lecture halls and conferences. Its 1/2.8-inch Sony CMOS sensor and automatic tracking keep a presenter or performer in frame. HDMI 2.0 supports up to 2160p60, 3G-SDI up to 1080p60, IP output offers selectable 4K NDI|HX3 with simultaneous Full HD HDMI, or 4K HDMI with Full HD NDI|HX3; streaming supports RTSP, RTMP(S), SRT and ONVIF. Remote control is available over RS-422, DVIP or VISCA over IP. The camera is compatible with Datavideo RMC-180 and RMC-300A controllers and the PTZ View Assist app, which can manage up to four DVIP cameras. PoE can simplify installation with a single network cable.
The Datavideo PTC-285, available in dark gray, captures speakers, performers, and the entire scene for live broadcasts, conference rooms, educational settings, and religious services. A 1/2.8″ Sony CMOS sensor with 8.51-megapixel resolution, 12× optical zoom, and an 80° wide-angle field of view help produce a detailed 4K image.
Automatic tracking keeps the selected speaker in frame. HDMI, 3G-SDI, and IP outputs operate simultaneously. When streaming via NDI|HX3, you can choose between 4K video over NDI and Full HD over HDMI, or 4K over HDMI and Full HD over NDI. The camera also supports RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS, SRT, ONVIF, and multicast; it can be powered by PoE+ or 12 V DC and controlled remotely via IR, a web interface, RS-422, and network protocols.

The camera automatically tracks the selected person and adjusts its movement as well as pan and tilt speeds to ensure a smooth, natural shot. When multiple people are speaking, you can specify who the camera should track.
HDMI 2.0 and IP provide video up to 2160p at 50/60 frames per second; 3G-SDI transmits up to 1080p at 50/60 frames per second. The outputs can be used simultaneously in various parts of the production chain.
RTSP, RTMP(S), SRT, ONVIF, and multicast are available for IP transmission. The NDI|HX3 output can be set to 4K, while HDMI simultaneously provides Full HD, or vice versa: 4K via HDMI and Full HD via NDI|HX3. Two network streams are available for streaming.
The PTC-285 is compatible with Datavideo RMC-180 and RMC-300A controllers and the PTZ View Assist app. It can also be controlled via IR, a web interface, RS-422, VISCA, or DVIP. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) delivers power over an Ethernet cable; a 12 V DC adapter is also available as an alternative.
The Datavideo PTC-285 is a high-performance 4K PTZ camera with HDMI and 3G-SDI interfaces that supports advanced streaming and automatic object tracking.
