RGBLink PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom

The RGBLink PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom is a professional pan-tilt camera perfect for small productions and for video conferencing. The PTZ camera features a 20x optical zoom, a high quality 1/2.8'' CMOS sensor and a fast, silent pan and tilt function. The camera has a pan range of +/- 170° for rotation and -30° to +90° for tilt. Live video output is via HDMI, 3G-SDI or IP streaming over LAN at up to 1080p60. Thanks to the built-in optics, the PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom delivers a first-class image quality with rich colors and a fast autofocus even in low light conditions.

Configuration

The RGBlink PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom is ready to use as soon as it is connected, as it is configured from the factory. However, changes can be made conveniently via password-protected access through a web browser. Using the menu in the web browser, audio, video and network parameters can be set and updates can be made. The video signal of the RGBlink PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom can be output with 720p, 1080i or 1080p with the frames usual in broadcast. Furthermore, the camera has a 3.5 mm stereo input, so external audio sources can be easily connected.

Control

The RGBLink camera can be controlled in several ways. The easiest way is to control the camera with the included IR remote control. The remote control can control up to four RGBlink PTZ cameras and also adjust the most important parameters via a menu. If the camera is integrated into an existing network, it can be controlled via the web browser tool. At the same time, the video stream is displayed on the PC monitor, so that simple image control is also possible. Of course, external control devices that support the VISCA protocol or RS232 can also be used for control. Another elegant possibility is offered by the RGBlink Mini+, which has an integrated PTZ control. The control can be done directly on the Mini+ or via the Xpose software on a PC, Mac or smartphone. Via the internal memory of the PTZ camera, 254 scenes can be stored.

Stream

The RGBlink PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom can simultaneously output two streams with different network protocols, codecs, resolutions and frames. The camera creates streams using the RTMP, RTSP, SRT or RTP protocol. The videos can also be streamed directly to the Internet and accessed by corresponding hardware or software, e.g. via OBS-Studio. As codec H264 or H265 are available, the bitrate is variable adjustable.
