The PTC‑155TW is a Full HD PTZ camera designed for professional video production, featuring a 1/2.8" Sony CMOS sensor and a powerful 30x optical zoom, in addition to a second lens. This lens allows for precise identification of the subject's position and trajectory, for smooth and natural tracking. Thanks to its AI technology, the camera offers an auto-tracking system that automatically follows the moving subject, ensuring professional-quality footage without the need for manual intervention.

The Sony CMOS sensor ensures high image quality, even in difficult lighting conditions, with a minimum sensitivity of 0.5 lux. The iris control range can be automatic or manual, while 2D/3D digital noise reduction helps improve image clarity.

The PTC‑155TW supports a wide range of video formats, including 1080p at various refresh rates and 720p, and offers various image processing options. Outputs include HDMI 1.3, 3G-SDI, UVC, and IP streaming. Unlike the PTC-155, it also integrates HDBaseT, which allows video, control, and power transmission over a single CAT cable, greatly simplifying installation.

The camera is compatible with multiple control protocols, including Pelco-D, Pelco-P, VISCA, VISCA over IP, NDI, DVIP, and ONVIF, allowing for versatile integration with existing production systems.

The integrated streaming system supports protocols such as RTSP, RTMP(S), ONVIF, Multicast, SRT, and NDI, enabling simultaneous transmission across multiple platforms. The PTZ also offers SD card recording, providing a convenient solution for archiving and backing up video content. Remote control is possible via web interface, IR, RS-422/RS-232, DVIP, and HDBaseT.

From Design-wise, the PTC-155TW features compact dimensions and weighs 2.8 kg. The package includes an IR remote control, a ceiling mount bracket, a 12 VDC power adapter, and a safety cable.
