Ptz Camera Controller And Switcher

PTZ camera operation can be really clunky with a computer and mouse only, but this controller makes it a much more enjoyable experience. Set up is a bit technical, and the dashboard isn't user-friendly at all, but once we started figuring what was where, it wasn't too terribly difficult to settle into a groove. If you're in the market for a good controller for your PTZ system, this is a great place to start.

[Cloud] I use this controller for up to three PTZ 30x cameras, via PoE Ethernet. Nearly every feature of the camera is accessible through this controller. Besides pan, tilt and zoom, I regularly use manual exposure control, and up to 10 preset positions for each camera. A particularly nice feature is the ability to attach an HDMI monitor to view the currently selected camera via Ethernet RTSP. You set the speed one notch below that of your HDMI or SDI video. This is an essential feature when working with software (e.g., WireCast) or hardware (e.g., SlingStudio) which has a significant lag time. The monitor lag is only a few frames, which is easy to accommodate. I ultimately bought two Superjoy controllers, because I rely on it for nearly every job.

[10.75 lb] We have used this controller for our remote productions at school and having this controller has allowed us to adjust our 3 ptz cameras quickly and easily with this controller. Prior to having this tool, we had to adjust each camera individually on the TC1 control surface. It took at least 3 clicks to get to the control of each camera. This one is one click and your in control. We love it!

[10 A] Needed a 12v power supply for a remote PTZ camera controller. This power supply has worked out great so far.

[NTSC] I use this controller for both Marshall and AXIS PTZ cameras using VISCA over IP and ONVIF

[Steel] This suits the PTZ Optics camera.

[Video Only] We are so impressed with this monitor. We use it as a studio monitor and as a PTZ controller monitor. The waveform and vectorscope monitoring software that's built into it is awesome! We now consider this as our go to monitor.
