AIDA Imaging PTZ4K-NDI-X30B – 4K NDI|HX PTZ Camera 30x Zoom Black

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging PTZ4K-NDI-X30B is a 4K NDI|HX PTZ camera in a black finish, built for broadcast production, corporate AV, and house of worship installations requiring multi-format simultaneous output with long-reach zoom capability. It outputs 4K60p concurrently over NDI|HX, HDMI 2.0, USB 3.0, and IP, feeding multiple destinations from a single camera head. The 30x optical zoom Sony CMOS sensor is appropriate for large-venue applications where the camera is ceiling- or wall-mounted at significant distance from the subject. VISCA control over RS-232 and IP, paired with PoE+ power delivery, enables clean single-cable installation.

Product Description

The PTZ4K-NDI-X30B is the black-finish variant of AIDA's 4K NDI|HX PTZ camera platform, sharing identical specifications with the PTZ4K-NDI-X30W. The black finish is preferred in auditoriums, broadcast studios, and production environments where a lower visual profile is desired or where the camera is mounted against dark-colored ceilings, walls, or rigging. The camera's simultaneous output capability means it can serve as a production camera, confidence monitor feed, recording source, and streaming camera at the same time without additional hardware.

Integration into NDI workflows is direct — the camera appears on the network as a discoverable NDI source, compatible with vMix, Wirecast, OBS (with NDI plugin), NewTek TriCaster, Vizrt, and all NDI 5-capable production platforms. The Sony CMOS sensor delivers accurate color at a minimum illumination of 0.5 lux. Up to 255 preset positions allow operators to program and recall specific shot compositions instantly, critical in multi-camera broadcast and live-event production.
