Datavideo PTC-155

The Datavideo PTC‑155 is a professional Full HD Auto Tracking PTZ camera designed to deliver high-quality video production with minimal operator intervention. Developed for lecture capture, corporate presentations, houses of worship, live events and educational environments, the PTC‑155 combines professional imaging performance, intelligent tracking capabilities and extensive connectivity to create a versatile and highly efficient production solution.

Built around a high-quality Sony 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor, the camera captures crisp Full HD 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second, delivering excellent colour accuracy, image sharpness and broadcast-quality results. Advanced image processing, including wide dynamic range functionality and 2D/3D noise reduction, helps maintain image quality even in challenging lighting environments.

A key feature of the PTC‑155 is its intelligent dual-lens tracking system. The dedicated tracking lens continuously monitors and identifies the subject while the primary imaging lens captures the video output. This innovative design enables accurate and stable Auto Tracking performance, allowing the camera to smoothly follow presenters, speakers or performers while maintaining natural framing and professional camera movement.

The powerful 30x optical zoom lens provides exceptional flexibility for medium and large venues, allowing the camera to capture detailed close-ups from substantial distances. Combined with an additional 16x digital zoom, the PTC‑155 delivers outstanding reach while preserving image clarity and precision.

Designed for modern hybrid production workflows, the PTC‑155 supports simultaneous outputs via 3G‑SDI, HDMI, UVC and IP streaming. Built-in H.264, H.265 and Motion JPEG encoding enables direct multi-platform streaming while reducing bandwidth requirements and simplifying deployment. Support for NDI|HX3 further expands connectivity options, making the camera ideal for network-based production workflows and remote operation.

Comprehensive control options include RS‑422, RS‑232, DVIP, VISCA over IP, ONVIF and browser-based control, ensuring seamless integration into existing production systems. Compatibility with Datavideo controllers, switchers and management software provides operators with flexible control configurations for both simple and advanced productions.

The camera also supports PoE for simplified installation, allowing power, control and network connectivity through a single cable. Combined with web-based monitoring, configurable presets and professional tally integration, the PTC‑155 is designed to deliver reliable operation in permanent installations and mobile production environments alike.

With its professional Full HD image quality, dual-lens Auto Tracking system, powerful 30x optical zoom and extensive connectivity options, the Datavideo PTC‑155 provides an efficient and versatile PTZ camera solution for organisations looking to elevate production quality while reducing operational complexity.
