Lumens launches new 20x PTZs
Two 20x HD PTZ cameras have joined the fold at Lumens Digital Optics, one capable of delivering secure IP streaming (VC-A51P) and the other with NDI|HX for networked production (VC-A51PN). Both models feature a high sensitivity 1/2.8-inch 2.16MP Sony CMOS sensor with WDR (wide dynamic range) and 3D noise reduction. With advanced auto-focus and auto-white balance algorithms, the cameras are said to produce sharp and well-exposed video even in low light environments. They also integrate a new motorised mechanism for fluid three-axis motion and movement at up to 300° per-second.
For integration into traditional AV and video workflows, both models incorporate 3G-SDI and HDMI ports, as well as multiple IP control and streaming protocols, including RTMPS and RTMP, in order to work seamlessly with popular streaming services, such as YouTube, Twitch and Facebook. Incorporating SRT, the cameras offer broadcasters secure remote production over the Internet at low latency.
The cameras support RTSP output for compatibility with IP-based production and streaming platforms. The VC-A51PN adds the high efficiency NDI|HX protocol for low latency video networking using Newtek’s popular open standard, enabling live video distribution and production over 1GBit and 10-GBit IP networks. VC-A51P and VC-A51PN replace Lumens’ VC-A50 models.
Alongside the new PTZs, the brand has introduced USB document cameras for teachers and presenters. The DC132U HD/2K document camera is a portable device and, building on the success of its predecessor, the DC125, forms the manufacturer’s new standard USB visualiser. The new model features a 16x zoom (via software) and closes focusing down to 4cm, producing video at HD resolution and above. Recording at up to 30 frames per-second, the DC132U connects to a PC or Mac via USB to capture, share and display images. The device’s joint-free, flexible gooseneck enables 360° viewing angles and extreme close-ups where visualising detail is crucial.
The DC-F20 HD/2K is a USB document camera that is a foldable, portable and lightweight, delivering images with video output of 1080p resolution and higher (up-to 2K). With the included Ladibug software, users can position and zoom the lens position, apply on-screen annotation and highlight parts of the document. Both of the new document cameras can connect to remote guests using popular conferencing platforms, such as Zoom, Meet, Skype or Teams.
