Datavideo PTC-305G

The Datavideo PTC‑305G is a professional-grade 4K PTZ camera engineered for demanding broadcast, corporate, education and live event productions where exceptional image quality and advanced automation are essential. Combining Ultra HD imaging, intelligent Auto Tracking technology and powerful 12G‑SDI connectivity, the PTC‑305G delivers the performance and flexibility required in modern production environments.

Equipped with a high-quality imaging system and a powerful 20x optical zoom lens, the PTC‑305G captures stunning 4K video at up to 60 frames per second with exceptional detail, colour accuracy and clarity. The extended zoom range allows operators to achieve precise framing and detailed close-ups even when subjects are positioned far from the camera, making it ideal for auditoriums, houses of worship, conference facilities and large live venues.

A key feature of the PTC‑305G is its integrated Auto Tracking technology, which automatically detects, locks onto and follows a selected subject without requiring continuous operator control. Advanced tracking algorithms deliver smooth and natural camera movement while maintaining consistent framing. Intelligent object selection allows users to designate a specific person for tracking, helping to avoid unwanted tracking of other people or moving objects within the scene.

The addition of professional 12G‑SDI output allows the camera to transmit full-bandwidth 4K60 video through a single SDI connection, providing seamless integration into broadcast infrastructures and professional video production systems. Simultaneous video outputs further enhance workflow flexibility, allowing multiple production devices to receive live signals at the same time for switching, recording, streaming and monitoring applications.

Built with modern IP production in mind, the PTC‑305G supports integrated NDI functionality, enabling low-latency network video transport and efficient remote production workflows. Dual streaming capabilities allow direct streaming to platforms such as YouTube, Facebook Live and dvCloud, while ONVIF Profile S compatibility ensures interoperability with a wide range of network-based video systems.

The camera offers direct access to Auto Tracking functions through Datavideo controllers, remote controls and compatible production systems. Smart PTZ speed adaptation dynamically adjusts pan, tilt and zoom movements based on subject speed, creating fluid camera motion and eliminating abrupt or unnatural tracking behaviour.

Designed for maximum operational flexibility, the PTC‑305G integrates easily into professional installations and live production workflows. Its combination of broadcast-quality 4K imaging, intelligent tracking, 12G‑SDI connectivity and advanced IP functionality makes it a powerful solution for organisations seeking high-end production quality with streamlined operation.
