4K UHD PTZ camera, 12x optical zoom with auto-traking function, supports simultaneous IP Video (DANTE AV-H, SRT, RTMPS, RTSP), USB2.0, 3G-SDI, HDMI2.0 outputs, PoE+, white

High-quality PTZ camera equipped with a 1/2.5" CMOS sensor with a resolution of 8.51 Mpixels that can capture video up to 4K UHD at 60 fps or 1080p at 60 fps on SDI. Its Sony CMOS sensor allows high performance in low-light scenarios thanks also to the 3D noise reduction system, while the bright 12x F1.8 ~ F2.6 optical zoom offers a horizontal field of view of 72.5°.

A very important feature of PTZOptics Link 4K 12X is the auto tracking functionality, which allows you 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 60 m away, even if others are simultaneously present in the frame. Additionally, this built-in auto-tracking feature allows users to easily switch between presenters on stage with the click of a button.
The updated PTZOptics Web UI provides everything you need in a simple menu system, including of course the management of auto tracking.

Several output options, common to all Link 4K models, including SDI, HDMI, USB and IP. The camera also features Dante AV-H so it can easily adapt to even the most complex Dante projects or workflow. With Dante AV-H, all routing, configuration and management of video and audio devices occurs through a single, easy-to-use platform. Link 4K will automatically sync to your Dante system clock ensuring perfect AV sync and is capable of streaming Dante AV-H video over your network natively, alongside audio sources connected to the 3.5 mm audio input. Link 4K combines broadcast quality with the ease of detecting, setup and management of Dante, making any video production setup simpler and more professional. 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 by using a hardware joystick controller from the same brand. There is also seamless integration with Blackmagic switchers.
In addition, they can be controlled remotely from anywhere in the world using a variety of tools, including cloud-based software such as Zoom. Users can also live stream directly to CDNs (content delivery networks) such as Facebook and Youtube. It can also be remote controlled both via the remote controller supplied and the dedicate App. The Tally light is also present.

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