The RGBlink VUE PTZ Camera 20x Optical Zoom is a professional broadcast PTZ camera in a sleek black design with a tally LED light on top. With its fast, silent rotation and zoom function, it is ideal for smaller productions, live events or in the education sector. Video output is via HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 2.0 or IP streaming via network at up to 1080p60.

The lens' high zoom factor and intelligent, fast autofocus allow for sharp distance shots.

Connections

The camera has one HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB and network port each, simultaneously outputting video signals at a maximum of 1080p60. Connected to a PC via USB, the camera is recognized as a UVC webcam without driver installation. It can be immediately integrated into OBS-Studio for streaming or into Zoom, MS-Teams or similar for video conferencing. The video signal can be output at 720p or 1080p with the frames common in broadcast. Optionally, date, time and the individual camera name can be displayed in the image. Audio signals from a microphone or line-in device are embedded in the HDMI, SDI or network stream via the 3.5 mm stereo jack. Power is supplied to the camera via the included AC adapter, or alternatively via LAN thanks to the PoE function if Power over Ethernet is supported by the router.

Tally LED

On the top of the camera there is a tally LED light in green or red, which is clearly visible from all sides. In combination with the RGBlink Mini Pro or other tally control units, the standby or on-air status is displayed in color.

Configuration via remote control or web browser

The camera can be put into operation immediately with the default settings. With the supplied remote control, a great many settings can be configured via the On Screen Display menu control, which is displayed via HDMI or SDI on a connected monitor. Activating DHCP or manually entering the IP address as well as adjusting brightness, contrast, resolution or frame rate is a significant convenience here.
The advanced configuration of the camera is carried out via password-protected access using a web browser. Audio, video and network parameters can be adjusted and firmware updates can be performed via the well-structured menu navigation in German or English. Numerous image settings such as focus, exposure, color space, gamma, etc. can be changed from auto mode to personal preferences and saved.

Streaming

The RGBlink VUE PTZ Camera can simultaneously output two streams with different network protocols, codecs, resolutions and frames. The available protocols are RTMP, RTSP, SRT or RTP, the codecs are H.264 or H.265, the bitrate is variable adjustable. The videos can be streamed directly to the Intranet or Internet and picked up by appropriate hardware or software (e.g. OBS Studio).

Control via remote control, web browser or controller

The camera supports a variety of control methods: The most convenient way to control the camera is via the included IR remote control, so no network setup is required for a quickly set up setup. The remote controller can control up to four RGBlink PTZ cameras, including older models, and adjust key parameters via a menu. The controller offers pan and tilt, zoom, manual focus, and save and recall of different viewing angles.
If the camera is connected to a network, it is possible to control it via the web browser tool. The video stream is displayed on the PC monitor and allows easy image control.
Professional control is provided by optional external controllers via serial RS232 / RS485 or network interface with VISCA or Pelco protocols.
The RGBlink Mini Pro also provides professional control with an integrated joystick and zoom rocker, plus it automatically triggers the camera's tally LED light when switching. Green light signals the next cut to the camera - red light on-air. In conjunction with the free RGBlink Xpose app, the PTZ camera can be operated on WLAN via PC, Mac, iPhone or Android smartphone.
The camera allows you to save and recall up to 254 different angles to quickly switch between different perspectives.

Mounting

The optional RGBlink PTZ Camera Wall Mount Bracket allows the camera to be mounted upright on a wall. Alternatively, the optional RGBlink PTZ Camera Upside Down Mount offers ceiling mounting, where the camera is suspended. In the camera menu, the video output can be mirrored horizontally. The ¼ inch tripod thread located in the camera base allows mounting on suitable video tripods.

Parking position in stand-by

In standby mode, the lens rotates vertically downward to signal power saving mode. This parking position also provides safe transportation of the camera.
