super-strong designEngineered from robust aluminium alloy, PTR-15T features a super-strong design, providing a sturdy foundation for your camera setup. This construction ensures dependable support for cameras weighing up to 4 kilograms.
Comprehensive IP Control
IP-based controlIn addition to the standard RS-232/422 control, the PTR-15T provides robust IP-based control, keeping up with the modern trend of IP-based systems. This technology migrates the camera control protocols and technical parameter adjustments used in high-end broadcast studios to an open IP environment. This transformation breaks away from the previous limitations of exclusive one-to-one control, enabling the free switching of different cameras and achieving precise adjustments of camera parameters such as aperture, shutter, red/blue gain, inflection point, and more. This advancement allows on-site camera operations to enter an unprecedented era of convenience.
Dual 12G-SDI And HDMI 2.0 Interfaces
12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 standardsThe robust and stable nature of SDI interfaces makes them highly suitable for broadcast environments, while HDMI offers high compatibility with peripheral devices. The PTR-15T fully supports both 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 standards for broadcast and AV applications. Whether you require SDI or HDMI connections, it provides a complete 4K50/60P audio-visual transmission channel.
Genlock/Timecode Synchronization And Calibration
consistencyThis is one of the criteria that differentiates broadcast-grade equipment from regular cameras. The genlock function allows interconnection of all cameras and display devices, ensuring precise synchronization at every frame, all operating on the same clock frequency. This prevents issues like tearing due to unstable frame transmission. The timecode calibration function enables the interconnection of all cameras and recording devices, providing the same time parameters. This establishes a unified time reference point for subsequent archiving or post-production, ensuring consistency.
Support 199 Preset Camera Shooting Positions
199 preset camera positionsFor comprehensive video production demands encompassing various angles and perspectives, PTR-15T boasts the capacity to support 199 preset camera positions, catering to your diverse needs. Activate these presets effortlessly using the IR remote control, enabling quick access to any of the 199 positions. In conjunction with the RMC-300A universal remote controller, you can instantly access presets using its 14 dedicated physical buttons. With the RMC-180 MARK II remote control, 4 physical buttons are available for swift preset recall.
Seamless PoE++ Integration
PoE++When utilizing PTR-15T, the need for a battery mount on your camera becomes obsolete. Thanks to the integrated PoE++ feature within the PTR-15T, no supplementary battery or power source is required during operation.
Seamless Integration with HBT-18
Optimal PerformanceThe PTR-15T is designed to deliver its full potential when paired exclusively with the Datavideo HBT-18. This combination ensures that the 4K 12G-SDI HDBaseT robotic pan-tilt head operates with maximum efficiency and reliability. The HBT-18 facilitates the seamless transmission of video, audio, control signals, and power through a single Ethernet cable, making it the perfect match for the PTR-15T. By using these two devices together, users can expect enhanced performance, longer connection distances, and reduced setup complexity, ensuring a smooth and professional production experience.
Built-in Tally Light
