The JVC KY-PZ100 is a pan, tilt and zoom camera designed for video production. It is the first PTZ camera to feature a unique IP communication engine, invented by JVC, providing network connection via WiFi, 4G-LTE or wired LAN.
It is designed to be used stand-alone and remotely, or as part of a multi-camera system, in a studio environment or in the field.
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 direct error correction.
Control the camera from a web browser, using the optional RM-LP100 dedicated control panel, or from a variety of compatible remote controls using a standard protocol.
The camera supports HD recording at up to 50Mbps on micro SDHC/SDXC cards. You can also download recorded files to an external server.
The KY-PZ100 features JVC's proprietary direct-drive mechanism for smooth, quiet and highly precise positioning (up to 100 preset positions).
Positioning can be performed at speeds ranging from extremely slow to very fast, while maintaining identification point accuracy (to within 0.03°). It features a newly developed 1/2.8″ image sensor and 30x optical zoom for superb broadcast-quality images, even in low-light environments.
The camera's Wide Dynamic Range mode delivers clear foreground images, even in complicated lighting conditions. Turn on the camera, control it and transmit a signal to the world from a single ethernet or wireless cable. Power the camera, plug in a Wi-Fi adapter or LTE modem, and you've got the world's most practical and high-quality robotic camera.
