Hello everyone Paul Richards here with PTZOptics.
Hi everybody I'm Andy Chatfield from PTZOptics.
And in this video we're going to be showing off the PT Broadcaster which is a professional
pan/tilt/zoom head for broadcast cameras.
And we are showing off a Panasonic camera here.
The idea is that you can have one operator control multiple cameras remotely and we're
going to show all that off here.
So as Paul said this is the PT Broadcaster-P I have a Panasonic AG-HPX250E on here I am
able to control the full PTZ of my camera.
As well as functions like the focus and the iris and things like that.
I'm just going to show I want to take it, zoom in here and I will take it off of automatic
focus and you can see I can focus my lens I'm going to go back to automatic focus here.
So the price of this unit is $2,999 and it's really you know the value ad and the return
on investment is replacing camera operators with these professional broadcast cameras.
So let's take a look at the functions here Andy.
Sure.
So I know we have quite a few camera functions that we can control.
So I am using the P model here so I have full pan tilt and variable speed zoom, I do have
focus control there is an optional motorized wheel that you can use to hook up and control
the iris as well.
And then the bottom functions like start and stop recording and things like that can actually
be accessed if you hook up the PT Broadcaster to a VISCA program like maybe an Extron or
Crestron module, you can actually control some of those programs or some of those options
with VISCA commands.
Yeah so this is all standards based, so everything that you're looking at here can be done via
VISCA so you don't- the controller here is optional, so if you purchase this camera you
can use your own controller or this is our also our PT Joystick for pan tilt and zoom
here as well that you can purchase.
So our P model here of the Broadcaster is for Panasonic cameras.
Let's take a look at that.
So we have ones that have been tested here it's basically going to be any Panasonic camera
that has a 2.5 input for the zoom and a 3.5 input for focus.
And what I have here is basically the cable that I'm using this is just a Lank connection
to a 2.5 and a 3.5 that plug into your camera.
OK great and we're just taking a quick look at the other models and as you can see here
we've got camera compatibility with most SONYs, JVC, Cannons, the Black Magic Studio Camera
is a big one, SONYS.
So just contact us it depends on the connection point that you have, but most professional
broadcast cameras can be controlled.
Yup.
So is that everything you wanted to show off Andy?
Yeah.
Did you show a preset yet?
I have one called here there we go.
There's a preset and then you hit the home button and it goes back to the home preset
you can have I guess 256 presets.
something like that yes.
A large amount of presets and that's really everything we wanted to show off, so thank
you all for watching.
One of the things we wanted to mention in this video is that we will be at NAB this
year.
So we're gonna be- you can see our booth there, there's NewTek's booth, there's the vMix booth,
and then PTZOptics booth on the South hall, same area there.
We're going to be showing this all off which is going to be great, we're really excited
about that.
If you can make it out to NAB it's a place where you can definitely learn a lot about
the products that we have, the offerings that we have, and hopefully learn a lot about what
you can do with this type of technology.
So before we go I just wanted to let everyone know, feel free to subscribe to our YouTube
channel, we have free virtual sets that come with all of our camera, and we've even got
some free ones that you can play around with.
Camera reviews, tips, tricks, and tutorials, and then we have live streams every Friday,
thanks for watching everybody and have a nice day.
Bye guys.
