PTZOptics is preparing Rise 4K, a broadcast-oriented PTZ camera using a one-inch 50-megapixel CMOS sensor. The announced imaging chain supports 4K at 60 frames per second, 20x optical zoom, phase-detection autofocus, optical stabilisation and a three-stage neutral-density filter.
Connectivity includes 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, USB, NDI, RTMP, RTSP, SRT and SFP+, with genlock, timecode and FreeD data for synchronised and virtual-production workflows. XLR audio with phantom power, web control, scopes and automated subject tracking are also listed.
Why it matters
The combination addresses studios that want PTZ economics without giving up timing, optical control or integration options. Key buying details are still missing, including price, shipping date, exact NDI profile, glass-to-glass latency and independent low-light, autofocus and tracking performance.
