Fast Robotic 4K PTZ
A 20x zoom 4K60 PTZ built for robotics, with pan and tilt up to 200 degrees per second for fast, repeatable moves and the lowest power draw in the X-series at 18W.
12G-SDI and Built-In Decode
A single 12G-SDI output carries 4K in one cable, and built-in NDI HX2 and HX3 decode brings return feeds, confidence monitoring or teleprompter to the HDMI outputs over the network.
Studio-Ready Control
VISCA, VISCA-IP, NDI, RS-232 and RS-422 control with an RGB HALO tally and AI presenter tracking make it a natural fit for studio and live-event robotics.
