PTZOptics Link 4K 20X

FEATURES

High-quality PTZ camera equipped with a 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with an 8.42 Mpixel resolution that can capture video up to 4K UHD at 60 fps or 1080p at 60 fps over SDI. Its Sony CMOS sensor allows high performance in low-light scenarios thanks also to the 3D noise reduction system, while the bright 20x optical zoom F1.58 ~ F3.95 offers a 60.7° horizontal field of view.

A very important feature of PTZOptics Link 4K 20X is the auto-tracking functionality, which allows the camera to automatically follow the framed subject without the need for a camera operator. The exclusive Presenter Lock technology allows the camera to lock onto a specific person up to 76m away, even if others are simultaneously present in the frame. Furthermore, this built-in auto-tracking functionality allows users to easily switch between presenters on stage with the click of a button.
The updated PTZOptics Web user interface provides everything you need in a simple menu system, including, of course, auto-tracking management.

Several output options, common to all Link 4K models, including SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP. The camera also features Dante AV-H to easily fit even the most complex Dante project or workflow. With Dante AV-H, all video and audio device routing, configuration, and management are done through a single, easy-to-use platform. Link 4K will automatically synchronize with your Dante system clock, ensuring perfect AV synchronization, and is capable of transmitting Dante AV-H video over your network natively, along with audio sources connected to the 3.5mm audio input. Link 4K combines broadcast quality with the simplicity of Dante's detection, configuration, and management, simplifying and professionalizing any video production installation. The RJ45 interface supports PoE+.

Users can control Link 4K PTZs using video production software such as OBS, Livestream Studio, Wirecast, vMix, mimoLive, or Tricaster, or using a hardware joystick controller from the same brand. There is also perfect integration with Blackmagic switches.
In addition, they can be remotely controlled from anywhere in the world using a variety of tools, including cloud-based software like Zoom. Users can also live stream directly to CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) like Facebook and YouTube. It is also remotely controllable both via the supplied remote controller and the dedicated app. The Tally light is also present.

Several mounting options are available and, last but not least, a 5-year warranty provided by the manufacturer.
