AIDA Imaging PTZ4K-NDI-X30W – 4K NDI|HX PTZ Camera 30x Zoom White

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging PTZ4K-NDI-X30W is a 4K NDI|HX PTZ camera designed for broadcast production, conferencing, and house of worship installations requiring simultaneous multi-format output in a white finish. It delivers 4K60p video concurrently over NDI|HX, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and IP, allowing a single camera to feed a switcher, a recording workstation, and a streaming encoder at the same time. The 30x optical zoom Sony CMOS sensor module provides reach and image quality suited to large-room applications where the camera must be ceiling- or wall-mounted at distance. VISCA control over RS-232 and IP, combined with PoE+ power delivery, simplifies installation by reducing cabling to a single network run.

Product Description

The PTZ4K-NDI-X30W addresses the growing demand for 4K NDI|HX PTZ cameras in commercial AV and broadcast workflows. Outputting simultaneously over NDI|HX, HDMI, USB 3.0, and IP means the camera integrates directly into NewTek/Vizrt TriCaster systems, vMix, OBS, Wirecast, and any NDI-compatible production environment without additional conversion hardware. The Sony CMOS sensor at the heart of this camera delivers clean 4K60p with accurate color reproduction and a minimum illumination of 0.5 lux, making it viable in rooms that are not optimally lit.

The 30x optical zoom module provides a wide end field of view suitable for full-room coverage and a tight end reach appropriate for capturing presenters at the far end of an auditorium or sanctuary. Pan and tilt movement is controlled via VISCA over RS-232 or IP, and the camera supports up to 255 preset positions for rapid, repeatable shot recall. The integrated tally light gives talent and operators a clear visual indicator of which camera is live — an important feature in multi-camera broadcast and production environments.

PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power delivery allows a single CAT cable to carry power, network video, and camera control, reducing conduit fill and installation labor in new builds or retrofits. For installations where PoE+ is not available, the camera also accepts 12VDC. The white finish makes the PTZ4K-NDI-X30W appropriate for ceiling-mount applications in spaces where aesthetics matter, such as boardrooms, houses of worship, and corporate all-hands rooms.

Key Features

• 4K60p Simultaneous Output — NDI|HX, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and IP all active at the same time, eliminating signal splitters in multi-destination workflows.
• 30x Optical Zoom — Provides the reach needed for large auditoriums and sanctuaries where the camera must be mounted well away from the subject.
• Sony CMOS Sensor — Delivers accurate color and 0.5 lux minimum illumination for reliable performance in variable lighting.
• NDI|HX (NDI 5 Capable) — Broadcast-quality video over gigabit Ethernet, compatible with vMix, Wirecast, OBS, TriCaster, and Vizrt.
• VISCA Control over RS-232 and IP — Integrates with Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, Extron, and hardware PTZ controllers.
• 255 Preset Positions — Instant repeatable shot recall for multi-camera broadcast productions.
• PoE+ Power (IEEE 802.3at) — Single CAT cable carries power and data, reducing installation complexity.
• Integrated Tally Light — On-camera live indication for talent and floor crew in broadcast environments.
• SRT Streaming Support — Low-latency contribution over public internet for remote production workflows.
• White Finish — Suited for ceiling-mount installs in lighter-colored boardrooms, sanctuaries, and all-hands spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can all four outputs be active simultaneously?

Yes. NDI|HX, HDMI, USB 3.0, and IP outputs are all active at the same time, allowing the camera to feed a production switcher, a local display, a recording workstation, and a network stream destination concurrently.

What control systems are compatible?

The camera uses VISCA over RS-232 and IP, supported by Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, Extron, and most commercial AV control processors. AIDA's IRIS software also provides network-based PTZ management.

Does this camera require PoE+?

PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) is supported for single-cable installation. A 12VDC input is also available when PoE+ infrastructure is not present.

What is the difference between the X30W and X30B?

Both models are specification-identical. The X30W is white for lighter-colored spaces; the X30B is black for broadcast studios and environments where a lower visual profile is preferred.

What NDI version does this camera support?

The PTZ4K-NDI-X30W supports NDI|HX and is NDI 5 capable, compatible with vMix, Wirecast, OBS with NDI plugin, NewTek TriCaster, and Vizrt systems.
