AIDA Imaging UHD-X3L – UHD 4K/30 HDMI 3X Optical Zoom POV Camera

Product Overview

The AIDA Imaging UHD-X3L is a compact UHD 4K/30 POV camera with a built-in 3x optical zoom lens and HDMI 1.4 output, designed for AV integrators, production teams, and content creators who need 4K acquisition in tight spaces without the complexity of an interchangeable lens system. The fixed 3x optical zoom lens covers a 78° wide-angle view at 3.85mm narrowing to 25° at 13.4mm, making it practical for single-camera coverage of conference tables, podiums, stage areas, or sports positions. RS-485 VISCA control and an OSD button allow remote configuration from a compatible controller or control system. At 48mm × 48mm and 140g, it is among the smallest 4K HDMI zoom POV cameras available for commercial AV deployment.

Product Description

The UHD-X3L addresses a specific gap in the compact camera market: 4K-resolution optical zoom in a form factor small enough for camera bars, ceiling mounts, and production positions where only a POV-sized camera body will fit. The built-in 3x optical zoom (3.85mm/78° wide to 13.4mm/25° tele) provides meaningful compositional flexibility without requiring a lens change or external zoom control box, and the HDMI 1.4 output connects directly to any 4K-capable monitor, switcher, capture card, or scaler.

The 1/2.5" progressive CMOS sensor (3840×2202 effective pixels) delivers 4K UHD 2160p at 30fps. Full HD 1080p is supported at up to 60fps, giving operators the option to use the camera in a 1080p60 production chain while retaining 4K capability for future upgrades. Color output is 4:2:2 YCbCr 10-bit throughout all resolution modes. Built-in zoom, focus, and iris control are accessible via RS-485 VISCA over the I/O cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the UHD-X3L output 4K at full resolution over HDMI?

Yes. The HDMI 1.4 output carries 3840×2160 at up to 30fps. If 4K at 60fps is required, a camera with HDMI 2.0 output would be needed.

Can the zoom be controlled remotely?

Yes. Zoom, focus, and iris are controllable via RS-485 VISCA over the I/O cable. Any VISCA-compatible controller (AMX, Crestron) can operate the zoom and focus remotely.

Is this suitable for a conference room needing full-table coverage?

Yes. The 78° wide-angle FOV at the widest zoom setting provides good coverage of a conference table, with 3x zoom to frame individual speakers.

Can this camera be used outdoors?

No. The UHD-X3L is designed for dry indoor environments. For outdoor or high-moisture applications, the HD-X3L-IP67 provides IP67 weatherproof protection in the same form factor.

What is the warranty on the UHD-X3L?

AIDA Imaging provides a standard manufacturer's warranty. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and support procedures.
