Latin America. Vizrt launched its new PTZ3 PLUS and PTZ3 UHD PLUS cameras, bridging the gap between ProAV and Broadcast, delivering high-quality video for any live production or presentation.
With AI-powered intelligent talent tracking, a wider variety of phantom powered microphones, and easy integration for augmented reality (AR), all in a discreet design that blends into any space.
A single Ethernet cable also offers an efficient and simple workflow that provides FreeD video, audio, power, control, tally and camera tracking data via NDI|HX.
AI-powered presenter tracking
Keep talent on stage automatically based on face and posture detection with AI presenter tracking. Tracking continues even when the talent moves away from the shot, with an automatic timeout/restart of 0.5 to 10 seconds if the presenter leaves the presentation area, and the camera never deviates from the set or breaks the green screen effect thanks to edge limitation. Whiteboard detection locks the camera in place when it identifies a presentation area for a more enjoyable viewer experience.
To simplify the setup and use of camera tracking data for Augmented Reality (AR) or Extended Reality (XR) system setups, the cameras incorporate the FreeD open tracking data protocol into the NDI|HX, adding camera position, rotation, and lens data. metadata in each box. This world-first development eliminates the need for additional hardware and further reduces production complexity, making it easier than ever for all content creators to create broadcast-quality content with high-end graphics systems like Viz Virtual Studio Go.
Owners of the original NewTek PTZ3 and PTZ3 UHD models can enjoy FreeD-over-NDI|HX with a free firmware update available on Vizrt.com.
With software-controlled phantom power to the mini XLR port, any microphone or audio source can be connected to ingest audio into the same NDI|HX, powering +48V microphones without the need for an amplifier. Two-step confirmation prevents accidental feeding of unpowered microphones. This reduces configuration complexity for AV deployments and remote production needs and offers easier integration with multiple workflows and less equipment required.
