About The Datavideo 4K Tracking NDI PTZ Camera – White
Brand New 4K Auto Tracking NDI PTZ Camera

Live productions depend on high performance cameras and camera controllers.

Datavideo is introducing the 4K50/60p Auto Tracking PTZ camera, PTC-285NDI can be easily controlled via traditional RS-422 serial port, or IP remote control via DVIP (Datavideo proprietary protocol) or Sony VISCA over IP.

This brand new 4K camera series supports dual streaming output for A/V market application. You can easily stream to Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube and dvCloud.

PTC-285NDI supports multiple simultaneous video output formats. It can output video in HDMI 2.0 and IP formats at resolutions up to 2160p (50/60 frames per second). Additionally, it offers 3G-SDI output at resolutions up to 1080p (60/50 frames per second). This allows for flexible integration with various production setups and equipment.

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-1 remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, RMC-180 MARK II and PTC View Assist).

In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers which include KMU-200, 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.

Quick Access to Framing Options

All of the PTC-285 camera series include RMC-1 controller. User can quickly select full-body, half-body and close up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.

Simply enable auto tracking with your IR remote control

RMC-1 PTZ Controller. All you need is a remote control to set and control all four cameras and save the four presets.

PTZ View Assist: Control up to four cameras

The camera control app is tailored for the Datavideo PTZ camera series. It can monitor the live streaming video from PTC-140, PTC-280, PTC-285, PTC-300 and PTC-305 series. The app can control up to 4 cameras simultaneously via DVIP, you can intuitively set up and recall the presets, and adjust white balance, focus and IRIS. The app is able to decode the live streaming via RTSP, and SRT. Easily monitor the live streaming video and set up the parameters promptly in one application. Datavideo provides iOS and Android versions, which you can download on Google Play and App Store for free!

Low Noise in Low Light

Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.

Build a reliable SRT live streaming workflow with all Datavideo products

Datavideo’s wide range of encoders, cameras, and hand-carry switchers are fully supported by SRT and dvCloud. Datavideo encoders and dvCloud provide reliable streams over unreliable networks. By using a Datavideo encoder and dvCloud together, you can utilize SRT (instead of RTMP) on the initial problematic connection or “First Mile.” After your video stream reaches dvCloud, you can depend on dvCloud’s reliable, high-bandwidth network to deliver the stream to your favorite destinations, like Facebook and YouTube.
