The JVC KY-PZ100 PTZ Camera With NDI Converter Kit (White) is a custom JVC PTZ camera package bundled with Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus converter. The solution offers high bitrate similar to SDI image quality (100Mb/s Native NDI vs. 30Mb/s NDI|HX) and almost ZERO latency vs higher latency NDI|HX.
The KY-PZ100 is designed to be used as a stand-alone remote camera or as part of a multi-camera system in both studio and field environments. In addition to its 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, it is also capable of reliably streaming 1080i/60, 1080p, 720p, and 360p video with 2-channel audio--all with minimal latency and forward error correction. Camera control is possible from a web browser, or with the dedicated RM-LP100 remote control panel, or from a variety of remote units using standard protocol. The camera also includes on-board HD recording at up to 50Mbps to a micro SDHC/SDXC card with the ability to upload the recorded files to an external server.
The KY-PZ100 features JVC's highly accurate direct drive mechanism for smooth, quiet and precise positioning with up to 100 preset positions. Positioning can be performed at a range of speeds from very very slow to very fast while retaining pin-point accuracy (within 0.03°). A newly developed 1/2.8-inch image sensor and 30x optical zoom lens produce superb broadcast quality images even in low light environments. The camera's Wide Dynamic Range mode provides clear natural foreground images even under challenging highlight conditions. A high sensitivity mode enables shooting in color with illumination as low as 0.02 lux. For comparison, a full moon on a clear night provides 0.05 to 0.3 lux illumination.
Power the camera, control it, and stream to the world all from a single ethernet cable. Or go wireless. Just provide power to the camera, plug in a Wi-Fi adapter or LTE modem, and you'll have the world's most convenient, high-quality robotic camera that can be placed virtually anywhere, stream full HD, and be controlled from anywhere in the world.
KY-PZ100 Key features:
Magewell Pro Convert SDI Plus
The Pro Convert SDI Plus from Magewell incorporates NewTek’s true native NDI to ensure compatibility with the growing ecosystem of NDI-enabled solutions, and wraps its core functionality in a robust feature set. Automatic input format detection and network configuration provide plug-and-play ease of use, converting source video at its native resolution and high frame rate by default without any manual setup effort. Loop-through connectivity allows input signals to be sent simultaneously to additional displays or equipment, while an intuitive browser-based interface enables users to control advanced conversion settings and FPGA-based video processing such as up/down/cross-conversion, de-interlacing and image adjustments.
The Pro Convert SDI Plus converter is ideal for both in-studio and portable field use. Value-added features for live production applications include a 1/4"-20 thread for standard camera-mounting accessories, preview and program tally lights, and NDI-based PTZ camera control. The units can be powered by the included AC adapter or via Power over Ethernet (PoE) for further deployment simplicity.
