Brand New 4K Auto Tracking PTZ Camera
Live productions rely on high-performance cameras and controllers.
Introducing the Datavideo PTC-285, a 4K50/60p auto-tracking PTZ camera with 12x optical zoom, designed for seamless control. The PTC-285 can be easily managed via the traditional RS-422 serial port or remotely through IP using DVIP (Datavideo’s proprietary protocol) or Sony VISCA over IP. This cutting-edge 4K camera series supports dual streaming outputs for versatile A/V market applications, allowing effortless streaming to platforms like Facebook (RTMPS), YouTube, and dvCloud.
In addition to these features, the PTC-285 includes integrated NDI control functionality, providing enhanced flexibility and efficiency for modern live production environments. Datavideo also offers an extended model, the PTC-285T 4K HDBaseT, to meet the needs of different workflows.

Simultaneous Outputs
Connect your camera to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time.
Quick Access to Camera’s Auto Tracking
You will be allowed direct access to auto tracking via various external controllers such as the supplied RMC-1AT remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, PTC View Assist, etc.)
In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers which include iCAST mini, SHOWCAST 100, etc as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Hybrid Video Production Solution.
Custom Auto Object Tracking
If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for auto tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.
Smart PTZ Speed Adaptation
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera’s corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.
Talent Position: Center / Left Side / Right Side
The positioning of talent depends on the videographer’s creativity and intent rather than strict rules. Different positions can convey various emotions, messages, or visual effects. A centered composition provides a sense of stability and balance, suitable for scenes that require highlighting the main subject. Videographers may also place the talent on the left third or right third of the frame, leaving adequate space in the foreground to showcase the talent’s sight direction or potential future possibilities.
Quick Selection of Full Body / Half Body / Close-up
All of the PTC-285 camera series include RMC-1AT controller. User can quickly select full-body, half-body and close up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.
S-Shaped Speed Curve
The S-Shaped Speed Curve, inspired by the smooth acceleration and deceleration of a lift, is a pivotal feature that enhances the camera lens movement. Much like the elevator ride that starts and stops seamlessly, the PTZ camera ensures your video captures maintain uninterrupted fluidity.
This innovative technology eliminates any jerky movements that might be discernible to the naked eye, resulting in professional-quality, visually pleasing content. The S-Shaped Speed Curve is your assurance that the camera’s pan, tilt, and zoom functions will operate with precision and grace, delivering an unparalleled visual experience for your audience. Experience the future of camera movement with the Datavideo PTZ camera.

Compliant with the ONVIF Profile S Standard
The PTC-285 series cameras are compliant with the ONVIF Profile S standard, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability in network video systems.
Datavideo PTZ Cameras Support NDI Features
Datavideo’s PTZ camera series now supports NDI (Network Device Interface) features, enhancing their versatility and integration capabilities. With NDI, these cameras can transmit high-quality, low-latency video over IP networks, making them ideal for live production environments. The implementation of NDI utilizes the DVIP (Datavideo Protocol) ports, ensuring seamless connectivity and control. This advancement allows users to leverage the flexibility of IP-based workflows, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional cabling, ultimately streamlining the production process.
One Ethernet Cable with NDI® | HX Technology
There is no need for multiple cables and complicated setup. Single-wire concept helps you to transfer video, audio, power, tally, and control over only one Ethernet cable.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality allows you transmit all the information and power over only one cable.
NDI® is a registered trademark of Newtek, Inc.
NDI® Virtual Input
PTC-285 as an video input source can be applied to various platforms: Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx, Zoom, and more.
Power over Ethernet
The PTC-285 supports PoE for easy installation. No need to find local power outlets or hire an electrician to install outlets wherever you want to mount your camera. Simply run a single CAT6 cable to power your PTC-285.
Tally Light
Green and red lights tally to show the preview and program status for broadcast applications.
Wide 80° Field of View
PTC-285 provides a wide Field of View of 80°, easily shooting all the scenes in the field.

Build a reliable SRT live streaming workflow with all Datavideo products
Datavideo’s wide range of encoders, cameras, and hand-carry switchers are fully supported by SRT and dvCloud. Datavideo encoders and dvCloud provide reliable streams over unreliable networks.
By using a Datavideo encoder and dvCloud together, you can utilize SRT (instead of RTMP) on the initial problematic connection or “First Mile.” After your video stream reaches dvCloud, you can depend on dvCloud’s reliable, high-bandwidth network to deliver the stream to your favorite destinations, like Facebook and YouTube.
