Azure has released the V9 range of PTZ cameras that offer either 12X or 20X zoom lens with 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, DVI (HDMI) and IP video output.
The 12X cameras have a 72.5-degree field of view and the 20X cameras have 54.7-degree. The V9 cameras use a 1/2.8-in CMOS sensor with 2D/3D low noise reduction technology as well as 2.07 megapixels. They have a step driving motor mechanism and offer 1080p video resolutions and frame rates up to 60fps. They are suited to broadcasting live high definition video signals or being used in video conferencing applications.
A choice of black and white and mounting options are available. Cameras can be connected to a PC, Mac or Chrome Box without the need for additional software with the USB 3.0 connector (it will automatically downgrade if connected to a USB 2.0 port). The V9U cameras are available with either a 12X or a 20X zoom lens and can simultaneously output USB 3.0, DVI (HDMI) 1080p HD video and an IP stream with H.264/H.265 encoding.
The V9 cameras support ONVIF, RTSP, RTMP with push mode to link to streaming media servers such as Youtube and Facebook Live. They have VISCA serial control and Pelco-D/P with selectable baud rates from 2400 to 115200bps so they can be integrated with room control systems. The V9 cameras are supplied with a handheld remote control but can also be controlled via a web page or joystick.
A 3G-SDI connector is provided for high speed video output or long cable connections (up to 300m with copper cables or further via fibre). The V9S cameras also offer simultaneous output of DVI (HDMI) and an IP stream. The V9S cameras are also available with a 12X or 20X zoom lens.
