Hello my name is Paul Richards I am with PTZOptics, and today we are looking at the 12X-SDI PTZOptics
camera.
We're going to go over what comes in the box, all the inputs and outputs, and the general
features of this camera.
First of all it comes in either gray or white and we'll go over what comes in the box first.
It comes with an IR remote control, that can control up to 4 cameras, it has all your pan,
tilting, and zooming needs, all your focus and everything like that.
The 50+ page manual here that has everything you might want to know about the camera, your
power supply, and then an RS-232 cable you can use to connect to a joystick controller
that we offer.
So first let's talk about the general features of this camera.
It's a 12X optical zoom, with 1080p video up to 30 frames a second.
We have HD-SDI, HDMI, and IP streaming.
And all of those are simultaneous which is great.
For camera control we have the IR remote which can control up to 4 cameras, we have IP control
where we can do our open source control software, we've got 4 ready made IP controllers, you
can actually set an IP address for this camera, and you can log right into it, set a static
IP address.
You can also use our ready made IP controllers for broadcast, corporate, education, or house
of worship, and you can customize it for your scenario very easily, and just connect to
it over any computer or smart phone over that IP address.
It also support ONVIF control over IP which is a security protocol.
We have RS-232 and RS-485 which allows for VISCA, Pelco-D, or PELCO-P protocols.
So when we look at the 12X-SDI we have to talk about the 20X-SDI, because they're really
the same video outputs with difference lenses on them.
So we've got a 72 degree wide field of view with the 12X which is really ideal for small
to medium sized rooms where you could capture everyone sitting at a table potentially.
It actually compliments the 12X and the 20X depending on what scenario you have.
So when we talk about this there's a tool on PTZOpics.com called the PTZOptics Design
Tool and you can use this tool to lay out the fields of view in your room whether it's
a conference room, training room, or an auditorium, and layout the different cameras that you
plan on using and look at the wide and the narrow field of view and see how it works
in your scenario.
So that's what I usually say when talking about those different cameras, let's take
a look at the difference between the two and see what we can do.
Now let's take a look at the back of the camera, as you can see here we have the ability to
do IP streaming, so we can stream directly off this camera, we can do dual streaming,
so one 1080p, and one SD live stream off of here.
We can also control the camera from here and set the static IP address.
There's a line in that embeds with the IP stream so you can send video and audio.
We've got an HDMI out, and that HDMI is simultaneous with the HD-SDI and the IP stream, so that's
really great for a confidence monitor, maybe an HD recorder, where your main stream is
coming off of HD-SDI to a broadcast switch, and then your IP maybe is streaming so video
or controlling your situation, all 3 are simultaneous.
And they're all set by the system select tool right here.
So that's how you would select 1080p 30, 720p 30, or whatever resolution you want these
to come out as.
Of course I mentioned the analog port there.
We have RS-232 in, and RS-232 out.
What that allows you to do is daisy chain multiple units together and maybe control
them with a single joystick controller.
You can actually do up to 256 cameras with our joystick controller that we have.
So that's really everything, thank you for watching and this has been the official camera
overview for the PTZOptics 12X-SDI thank you.
