Epiphan EC20 PTZ Camera

Epiphan EC20 PTZ Camera is a professional UHD PTZ camera built for lecture capture, streaming, and installed production workflows. Its 1/1.8"-type 8.42-megapixel CMOS sensor feeds a 20x optical zoom lens, with HDMI output reaching 3840 × 2160 at up to 60 fps and 3G-SDI providing Full HD output at up to 60 fps.

For broadcast engineers and AV teams, the EC20 offers a useful mix of baseband, USB, and IP connectivity in one remotely operated camera. HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB-C, and LAN outputs are joined by NDI|HX2, Dante AV-H, RTMP/RTMPS, RTSP, SRT, HTTP, and ONVIF support, while RS-232, RS-485, IP control, 255 presets, and PoE+ make the camera practical for permanent lecture rooms and production spaces.

Highlights

• UHD 4K60 imaging – 1/1.8"-type 8.42 MP CMOS sensor supports HDMI output up to 3840 × 2160 at 60 fps
• 20x optical zoom – 6.25 to 125 mm lens provides long-range framing with an additional 16x digital zoom
• Multi-format video output – provides HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB-C, and RJ45 LAN connectivity
• Professional IP streaming – supports H.264, H.265, and MJPEG over Dante AV-H, HTTP, NDI|HX2, ONVIF, RTMP/RTMPS, RTSP, and SRT
• Integrated PTZ control – 255 presets, RS-232, RS-485, IP control, tally, and PoE+ support suit installed production environments

Quick Specs & Uses

Why It Helps

The 20x optical zoom gives an operator useful reach when the camera needs to stay at the back of a classroom, auditorium, or presentation space. With 325° of pan travel, 120° of tilt, and 255 stored presets, common lecturer, podium, board, and room-wide shots can be established once and recalled during production.

The EC20 also gives engineers several options for moving video through a system. HDMI handles UHD 4K output, 3G-SDI provides a traditional Full HD baseband path, USB-C supports direct USB video, and the LAN interface carries IP workflows including NDI|HX2, Dante AV-H, SRT, RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS, HTTP, and ONVIF.

Power and control are designed for installed operation as well. The camera can run from 12 VDC or PoE+ 802.3at, while RS-232 and RS-485 support serial control over longer cable runs. Integrated tally, stereo microphones, a 3.5 mm line input, and internal recording up to UHD 4K60 add useful production functions without requiring those features to be supplied by separate devices.
