With the launch of the NewTek NDI|®HX PTZ3 Camera, NewTek, the market leader in IP-based video technology and a Vizrt Group company, demonstrates its commitment to innovation.
The NewTek PTZ3 is the first camera on the market to use NDI|HX3, NDI's latest development. It combines advanced flexibility and simplicity. Users can opt for NDI®|HX 3 for improved video with reduced latency – all while consuming a fraction of the bandwidth. Additionally, the PTZ3 features professional-grade audio connectivity, which raises the bar for audio quality in PTZ cameras worldwide.
The PTZ3 is a cost-effective IP-based pan-tilt-zoom camera that transmits high-quality, high-definition video to the network and is compatible with any of the thousands of applications that support NDI. With single-cable connectivity, the PTZ3 enables everyone, including video professionals, technology managers, and A/V systems integrators, to discover new ways to expand, grow, and evolve productions through their network, while streamlining integration and installation through the use of power over Ethernet.
NDI. Far superior.
NewTek was the first to market with a PTZ camera that utilized the ground-breaking NDI technology, the world's largest and fastest-growing IP production protocol. NDI devices appear automatically on the network and can be easily integrated into any workflow. By collaborating closely with the NDI team, NewTek was able to develop the PTZ3 from the ground up, shattering yet another mold. The PTZ3's integration of NDI|HX3 enables low-latency transmission at reduced bandwidth while maintaining the visually lossless standards required by NDI users.
Superior audio.
Then The NewTek PTZ3 enhances audio connectivity by including both a professional mini-XLR mic input and a line level mini-jack. By directly transmitting clean, balanced audio from the camera to the NDI network, customers and integrators can rest assured that their audio will maintain the highest possible fidelity. Additionally, once on the NDI network, the PTZ3 audio can be routed, mixed, enhanced, and distributed to thousands of devices and software, allowing for unprecedented creative freedom.
Connect. Enhanced.
No other camera on the market offers this level of simplicity and control with a single cable for power and connectivity, obviating the need for, and increasing cost of, long cable runs, complex setups, and management time to maintain. With a single ethernet cable, the NewTek PTZ3 can be integrated into any workflow to provide HD video up to 1080/60p, audio, PTZ presets and control, tally, and PoE. Through NDI, users can remotely control the camera from any device. When used in conjunction with NDI Studio Monitor, users can control the camera via commonly available control devices, including gaming controllers, significantly lowering the barrier to entry into camera control systems.
"As a member of the Vizrt Group, NewTek collaborates closely with NDI to harness its connection-based power and incorporate it into the DNA of our products and solutions. We are proud to have pioneered a future-proofed PTZ camera that provides unmatched flexibility and adapts to the market's rapidly evolving needs," continues William Waters, NewTek's Head of Product Management. Not only do the numerous new features in NewTek's PTZ3 demonstrate simplicity and flexibility, but the latest model also includes ceiling and wall mounts and is available in black or white to match the environment in which the camera will be used, whether it is in a studio, classroom, hospital, corporate meeting space, or live event venue.
