Z CAM P2-R1 PTZ CAMERA 18x zoom

Z CAM P2-R1 (18x Zoom): Professional 4K PTZ Camera for Broadcast

The Z CAM P2-R1 is a top-tier PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera designed for the most demanding live productions, broadcast, and AV installations. This 18x optical zoom model combines a large 1/1.3" CMOS sensor for outstanding image quality with advanced network features and professional connectivity. With support for the NDI®|HX3, SRT, and Genlock protocols, it integrates easily into any modern production environment.

Key Features

• Large 1/1.3" CMOS sensor and 18x zoom: Unlike typical PTZ cameras, the P2-R1 features a large sensor that guarantees excellent performance even in poor light and a shallow depth of field. The 18x optical zoom lens provides a flexible range from wide shots (36 mm) to close-up detail (648 mm).
• Advanced IP streaming: The camera natively supports a wide range of protocols including NDI®|HX3, SRT, RTMP(S), and RTSP, enabling reliable, high-quality video streaming directly to the network.
• Professional connectivity: With 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, and above all a Genlock input, the camera is ready for flawless synchronization in broadcast-grade multi-camera setups.
• Fast and accurate autofocus (PDAF): Phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) ensures fast and reliable focusing that smoothly tracks moving subjects without unwanted "breathing".
• FreeD protocol support: Thanks to the FreeD protocol, the camera can send its position data (pan, tilt, zoom, focus) to virtual reality and augmented reality (AR/VR) systems.
• Easy installation with PoE+: Power over Ethernet (PoE+) support enables power, control, and video transmission over a single network cable.
• Quiet and precise movement: High-quality mechanics guarantee smooth, quiet, and precise movement with 0.01º accuracy. The camera also features a completely fanless design.
