Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of NewTek tuesday tutorials
my name is Richard Evans and today I want to show you a brand new
exciting product which is this the NewTek NDI PTZ UHD camera.
Ta Da! Now this camera is awesome it supports resolutions
up to 4k 60p it has a 30x optical zoom and it has a
state-of-the-art sony sensor in there for gathering up all that data and
converting it to a video source like hdmi
or into NDI and it's also POE+ enabled which means that you can plug this
camera directly into a POE switch or the TriCaster Mini 4k and that's all
you need to get video audio tally control
and power which is awesome all right so let's go ahead and show you how to set
it up and get it working all right so step one we're gonna need
to connect this camera so looking at the back of the system we
have a couple of different ports on the back so you have our the power
connection USB an NDI port an
eight inch jack for auxiliary audio input
you also have rs-232 ins and outs and rs-422 connection for
conventional PTZ use there's even an hdmi
2.0 output as well all right but in this example i'm going to show you the power
of NDI by simply plugging in one cable into the
back of this now step two in connecting the ptz uhd
camera is I need to plug the other end of the ethernet cable that I plugged
into the camera into either a POE switch or in my case since i'm using
a TriCaster mini 4k plug it into one of these NDI ports on
the back and we're good to go all right now I have my camera and my
TriCaster connected so now let's move over to the TriCaster
interface to pull the video feed from this camera
into our switcher so on input number one I'm going to click on this gear icon
to open up this pop-up so that I can click on this source drop down
and find my camera so go through here and there it is my PTZ UHD
camera click on this and automatically you'll see that I have an image showing
up on input number one here so I'm just here in the NewTek studio
by myself being socially distant and responsible
So what I want to do is go ahead and manipulate some of the
PTZ shots because right now it's just showing the back of our studio which
doesn't do us much good so let me go ahead and go to the PTZ tab
here and first things first you'll see I have
16 different presets to choose from this is where you can go to take a
snapshot of different camera positions and then
click on them to move the camera without having to physically move the joystick
around kind of thing so let's take a snapshot of this camera
position first right now let's go ahead and go to the
bottom and check out our other controls so i
have my pan and tilt controls here my zoom controls focus and iris I'm
going to leave those just auto for now. So it'll just
automatically control all that for me now we can go
into the camera's administrator panel to do a
little bit more fine-tuning. Let's say if you want to white balance our cameras
etc and I'll show you that in a second but first let's go ahead and aim this
camera at something a little prettier than the back door
so let's move it over here and check it out there we are. Now we
have a nice 4k 60p footage of my quarantine haircut
okay so let's see I'm going to take a snapshot of this camera position so
let's pose for it. Alright so now I have this goofy photo
of me so where I can now just click on these different camera positions and
then the camera will rotate around so let's
go ahead and click on number one and watch it spin over there. Alright
and then we'll come back to number two awesome pretty cool okay so uh the next
thing that I want to show you is how to do a little bit more
adjusting to this camera. So I will click on the input tab
and for my sources to the right of that you'll see
it says device web page. I'm going to click on that and that is going to open
up the admin panel for this camera so by default the username for our
cameras is admin and password is admin as well
right and here's where you can go to make even more
changes to this camera. So across the top we have three tabs here video source
this panel will basically allow you to do your pan tilt
zoom and preset controls from here and then the next option in the middle
is going to be where you can go to fine tune some details of your camera.
So for example if I click on this drop down for video settings this is where I
can go to manage the different elements of my
exposure also the picture so I can turn up my
brightness saturation etc I can white balance my camera from here
and also do some more detailed focusing from here.
Now you also have an option for under audio settings to manipulate your
different audio settings as well here
all right let's go to the top of the page in administration
and in this tab this is where you can go to rename your
camera also update it reboot the device power it on factory reset yada
yada yada. So this is kind of where you can go into the nitty gritty details of
your camera alright that's pretty awesome but wait
there is more so go ahead and let's see here on my
camera let me go and open up my switcher. So we
also have a tally light built into this
camera as well so check this out I'm gonna go ahead and
bring up input number one on preview and that light's going to turn green
awesome all right and now let's go ahead and bring it up on program
and that's going to turn red.
So now you know when this camera is active and ready to go.
So as you can see this is a really remarkable camera it has your 4k
60p resolution you have one cable with poe so that you can get your video audio
tally control and power and then you can control it from
any NDI enabled device that's on your network. Now for more information about
