What's inside PTZOptics

  1. Overview of PTZControl Pro 2 for iOS

    PTZControl Pro 2 is a free iOS application designed for managing PTZOptics cameras. It provides a centralized interface for PTZ and focus control, preset management, image adjustments, and a built-in RTSP viewer for multiple cameras.

  2. Overview of PTZOptics Move 4K Auto Tracking

    The Move 4K auto tracking feature allows the camera to act as its own operator by selecting a human target and automatically panning, tilting, and zooming to keep that target in frame. It includes specialized modes for single-subject tracking (Auto Tracking) and multi-subject composition (Auto Framing).

  3. Overview of Hive Studio video production software

    Hive Studio is video production software designed for real-time remote collaboration, cinematic camera movement, and configuration. It is compatible with over 400 camera models and can be operated either from the cloud or on-premises. It is suitable for various environments including content creation, telemedicine, sporting events, and manufacturing.

  4. Overview of SuperJoy G1 Web UI capabilities

    The SuperJoy G1 Web UI is a centralized, browser-based management interface used to control PTZOptics production environments. It allows users to:

    • Discover connected PTZOptics and NDI® devices on the network.
    • Configure individual camera settings.
    • Build and organize Super Presets.
    • Deploy firmware updates to devices directly from the interface.

  5. Overview of PTZOptics Device Manager

    PTZOptics Device Manager is a free desktop application designed for system administrators, AV technicians, and IT professionals. It serves as a centralized hub to discover, monitor, and manage PTZOptics cameras across a network, eliminating the need to access cameras individually. Key capabilities include surfacing device status, authentication states, and firmware versions from a single organized view.

  6. Overview of the Horizon Color View workspace

    Color View is a professional color analysis and image tuning workspace in the Horizon dashboard. It provides a real-time video signal analyzer alongside camera image, exposure, and color controls. The layout consists of three main panels:

    • Left Panel: Color analyzer tools (RGB Parade, Waveform, Vectorscope, or Before Snapshot).
    • Right Panel: Live video preview.
    • Bottom Panel: Color Settings panel containing Image, Exposure, and Color sections.

  7. Overview of the PTZOptics Twitch Camera Controller Extension

    The PTZOptics Camera Controller extension for Twitch allows broadcasters to give their audience control of a PTZ camera from inside their studio. It supports controlling any PTZOptics camera via the Twitch UI and can be deployed as either a video overlay (transparent background, side-aligned) or a component (manually opened/closed by users). Note: This extension has been deprecated.

  9. Overview of Studio View automation

    Studio View uses a camera's automation features to detect people within the field of view and create visual presets for them. It is specifically designed for fixed-camera environments (such as broadcast studios, classrooms, or houses of worship) where fast, repeatable framing is required without using a PTZ joystick.

  10. Overview of Voice Tracking Zone Mapping

    The zone map is the primary interface for mapping audio zones (detected by ceiling microphones) to specific camera actions. When audio is detected in a specific zone, Voice Tracking triggers a pre-assigned camera preset or switcher source.

    Zone behavior varies by microphone system:

    • Nureva HDL410: Matches Nureva Console coverage map.
    • Shure MXA920: Corresponds to steerable coverage lobes.
    • Sennheiser: Based on beamsteering sectors (or number of wireless mic wearers for Speechline Digital Wireless).
    • Audio Technica, Televic, Yamaha: Based on microphone beam configuration.
    • Legacy: Fixed 16-zone (4x4) grid.

    Every configuration includes a Silence Zone, which activates when no audio is detected anywhere in the room.

  11. Overview of PTZOptics StreamDeck Plugin capabilities

    The PTZOptics StreamDeck plugin provides one-touch control over PTZOptics cameras for live production workflows. Key capabilities include:

    • PTZ Control: Adjust pan, tilt, zoom, and focus speeds.
    • Image Settings: Direct control of luminance, contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness, and red/blue gain.
    • Workflow: Designed for repeatable control and fast adjustments during live streaming or recording.

  12. Overview of PTZOptics Camera Management Platform (CMP)

    The PTZOptics Camera Management Platform (CMP) is a desktop application designed to manage multiple PTZOptics cameras on a network. It allows users to connect an unlimited number of cameras and view up to four simultaneously. The platform is compatible with video production software such as OBS and vMix and provides tools for color correction, preset management, and color balancing.
