{"product_id":"the-long-lens-4k-ptz-conference-camera","title":"The Long Lens | 4K 20x Optical Zoom PTZ Camera with USB3.0, HDMI and PoE","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA speaker walks to the whiteboard and the camera loses them. A worship band moves across a stage and the stream cuts to a wide shot that shows nothing. Coverage problems in a room are usually lens problems, and a fixed webcam cannot solve them. This PTZ head carries a 20x optical zoom on a 1\/2.8 inch SONY CMOS sensor, which is enough to hold a tight frame on a face from the back of a hall and enough to read handwriting on a blackboard at the far end of a lecture theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe camera outputs 4K at 30 frames per second over both HDMI and USB 3.0 simultaneously, so a recorder and a conferencing laptop can both receive the signal without a splitter. The LAN port carries full HD 1080p output with PoE, which means one Ethernet cable supplies both video and power to a camera mounted on a ceiling. Horizontal field of view opens at 58.7 degrees and closes to a tight telephoto frame through the 20x optical range, with no digital magnification and no softening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMovement is fast and quiet enough to be invisible on a live stream. Pan covers 355 degrees, tilt reaches 90 degrees, and the maximum controllable speed is 60 degrees per second, with 16-bit precision positioning so the camera returns to the same shot every time. The sensor is tuned for low light, with 2D and 3D digital noise reduction and a signal to noise ratio better than 45dB, which keeps evening services and dim auditoriums clean rather than grainy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl suits both a technician and a presenter. VISCA, VISCA over IP and PELCO P\/D are all supported with automatic protocol detection, and the infrared receiver can pass through commands from a consumer remote to the conferencing terminal. ONVIF, SRT, RTSP and RTMP are available for streaming workflows, and H.265, H.264, MJPG and YUY2 compression cover recording platforms both old and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne camera, one cable, and the whole room finally in frame.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"margin: 24px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #eaeaea;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ 20x optical zoom on a 1\/2.8 inch SONY CMOS sensor for tight framing from the back of a room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ 4K at 30 frames per second output over HDMI and USB 3.0 at the same time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ LAN port with PoE support for power and 1080p video over a single Ethernet cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ 355 degree pan, 90 degree tilt and 60 degrees per second maximum speed with 16-bit precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ Low light performance with 2D and 3D noise reduction and signal to noise ratio above 45dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e✦ VISCA, VISCA over IP and PELCO P\/D control with ONVIF, SRT, RTSP and RTMP streaming support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style: none; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2.8 inch SONY CMOS, 16:9 output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptical Zoom:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20x optical telephoto lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHorizontal Field of View:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58.7 degrees wide end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVideo Output:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4K at 30fps over HDMI and USB 3.0, 1080p over LAN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterfaces:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDMI, USB 3.0, LAN with PoE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePan and Tilt:\u003c\/strong\u003e 355 degree pan, 90 degree tilt, 60 degrees per second maximum speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompression:\u003c\/strong\u003e H.265, H.264, MJPG, YUY2 depending on interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork Protocols:\u003c\/strong\u003e ONVIF, SRT, RTSP, RTMP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl Protocols:\u003c\/strong\u003e VISCA, VISCA over IP, PELCO P\/D with automatic detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2D and 3D digital noise reduction, signal to noise ratio above 45dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Infrared remote receiver with pass-through to the conferencing terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceiling, wall or tripod, supports vertical shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1200 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 8px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-applications\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere It Belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis camera fits any room where the speaker moves and the viewer must still see them clearly: churches and mosques streaming services, lecture theatres and training rooms, corporate boardrooms running hybrid meetings, telemedicine consultations and live event production on a budget. It is also the practical choice for a one person production setup, because a single camera with a 20x zoom and programmable presets replaces a two camera rig and an operator.
