The new camera can be used for documentary film-making and sports production to shooting conferences and ceremonies.
Lumens Digital Optics has announced the UltraHD PTZ camera that transmits 4K 60fps over SDI and HDMI and a range of streaming protocols including SRT, high bandwidth NDI and NDI|HX3. Featuring genlock, the FreeD protocol and support for BT.2020 and Rec.709, this is a fully-featured broadcast-quality camera which is designed to meet the needs of producers for years to come.
As one of the first NDI|HX3 products available on the market, VC-A71P-HN delivers low latency video at a reduced bandwidth, while maintaining visually lossless 4K image quality. Importantly, the camera can simultaneously output full bandwidth NDI for master recording and display on in-venue screens.
The VC-A71P-HN’s genlock and dual SDI outputs (12G and 3G) means that the unit is suitable for live multi-camera production. It also excels in multi-angle virtual reality production where the camera’s FreeD output delivers real-time positioning data to VR, MR and AR systems.
Steven Liang, Head of Product Development at Lumens, said: “This new model is an outstanding performer and is designed for use in any kind of production. Its large sensor, 30x zoom and a huge array of outputs means that it can be used in anything from documentary film-making and sports production to shooting conferences and ceremonies. The five-year warranty comes as standard, giving users the confidence to use the camera for mission-critical tasks.”
