Vizrt has added to it BroadcastAV protfolio of products with the launch of the PTZ3 PLUS and PTZ3 UHD Plus cameras.
Bridging the gap between ProAV and Broadcast, the PTZ3 Plus range delivers high quality video for any live production or presentation.
With intelligent AI-driven talent tracking, greater microphone choice with phantom power, and integration for augmented reality (AR) – all in a discrete design blending into any space.
A single ethernet cable also offers an efficient and straightforward workflow providing video, audio, power, control, tally, and FreeD camera tracking data over NDI|HX.
Users can keep talent in shot automatically based on face and posture detection with AI presenter tracking. Tracking continues even when talent turns away from the shot, with an auto 0.5-10s timeout/reset if the presenter leaves the presentation area, and the camera never tracks off set or breaks a green screen effect thanks to edge limitation. Blackboard detection locks the camera in place when it identifies a presentation area for a more enjoyable viewer experience.
To simplify setup and use of camera tracking data for AR or XR system setups, the cameras embed the open FreeD tracking data protocol in the NDI|HX stream itself, adding camera position, rotation, and lens data metadata into every frame. This removes the need for additional hardware and further reduces production complexity, making it easier than ever for all content creators to create broadcast quality content with high-end graphics systems like Viz Virtual Studio Go.
Owners of the original NewTek PTZ3 and PTZ3 UHD models can enjoy FreeD-over-NDI|HX with a free firmware upgrade available on Vizrt.com.
