JVC Professional Video, a division of JVCKenwood USA Corporation, will highlight its new KY-PZ510 Series PTZ Cameras for the installation market at InfoComm 2022 (Booth N1875). As the latest addition to JVC’s Connected Cam remote production solutions, the new series includes four models, which feature 4K60P HEVC SRT streaming with multi-slice encoding technology designed to reduce latency and boost image quality. The cameras also feature a super-wide 80-degree field of view, designed for studios, classrooms, corporate settings, event facilities, sports venues and houses of worship.
The series is comprised of the KY-PZ510, in black and white options, as well as the KY-PZ510N (black and white) with NDI 5 support. The new PTZ cameras offer enhanced Smart auto-tracking, which can be set to automatically follow one person and allows users to select one of multiple people within its field of view. Additionally, the incorporated Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) with Network Time Protocol (NTP) provides the new JVC PTZ cameras with multi-camera synchronization for seamless live event production.
“With advanced streaming capabilities and new SMART auto-tracking function, our new KY-PZ510 Series PTZ Cameras feature the latest in remote production technologies, along with a sleek design that fits the aesthetics of any location,” says Joseph D’Amico, Vice President, JVCKENWOOD USA Corporation. “We look forward to returning to the show floor to present these solutions to InfoComm attendees.”
Using the latest HEVC technology, the cameras support multi-slice encoding to produce higher quality video at lower bitrates for remote production over the internet (REMI). The cameras also support H.264 encoding, which offers increased compatibility with a variety of hardware and software applications. Also, the 4K60p streaming is designed for natural imagery in settings with a lot of movement, such as live events and sports.
“The cameras’ super-wide horizontal angle of view (80 degrees) and focal length of 21.8 to 261.8mm are the perfect way to present live-action events as well as the full scope of a classroom, auditorium or house of worship. Additionally, the Smart auto-tracking function of the cameras means that operators can set the camera to focus on and follow one person in the view―such as an instructor, pastor or specific person in a live production,” the announcement states.
All models support Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), which is resilient to bandwidth fluctuations, data loss and intermittent connectivity, to ensure secure and error-free video delivery over the internet. Furthermore, the KY-PZ510N can simultaneously output NDI, SRT and RTMPS for hybrid local/remote workflows to deliver quality distribution to the most popular CDNs.
The new KY-PZ510 PTZ cameras will be available beginning summer 2022.
