NewTek has enhanced its PTZ family of cameras with the newly introduced PTZ3 UHD, a 4Kp60 camera that offers both professional audio and ultra-high-definition video, all built on NDI.

The PTZ3 UHD allows video professionals, technology managers, and system designers to elevate video production by easily bringing 4Kp60 UHD video and professional audio, combined with control and tally, by using the network and simultaneously streamlining integration and installation by incorporating power over Ethernet (PoE).

To ensure users deliver high-quality images and video, the PTZ3 UHD takes pan/tilt/zoom quality to a new level with improved movement between camera presets. Ease-in and ease-out movements deliver seamless, smooth transitions for a natural, superior quality production without jittery or stuttering movements.

For the first time in a UHD camera from NewTek, Professional XLR audio input seamlessly runs with equipment such as microphones, mixers, amplifiers, and soundboards. The Professional XLR integration offers clean, balanced audio directly from the camera into the NDI network, so the audio maintains the highest fidelity for customers and integrators.

NewTek prides itself on its level of simplicity and control. Whether it’s using a single cable for audio and video, PTZ control, tally and PoE for power or connecting via NDI, NewTek PTZ Cameras simply appear on the network and can immediately be built into any workflow with ease.

Constructed with NDI at its core, the PTZ3 UHD guarantees the tightest integration with any NewTek live production system and any NDI workflow – offering professional audio, pristine 4Kp60 and infinite production possibilities.

NewTek vice president of product management, Will Waters, says: “We understand the importance of and need for quality audio in any production workflow. By adding professional audio to the PTZ3 UHD – we combine the might of ultra-high-definition video and enhanced audio connectivity making it easier than ever to put this exceptional camera into any production workflow.”
