Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-BK is the black-finish variant of the HDVS-CAM-HDMI enterprise PTZ camera, delivering professional-grade imaging for commercial conferencing and instructional spaces. The camera provides simultaneous video output over HDMI and USB 2.0, allowing it to serve an HDMI-connected display or recording system at the same time it feeds a connected PC for soft codec conferencing. Over HDMI, the camera outputs up to 1080p at 60 Hz, while the USB 2.0 interface supports resolutions from 176x144 up to 1080p at 30 Hz using the standard UVC 1.1 driver for plug-and-play PC compatibility with no additional drivers required. The 1/2.8-inch low-noise HD CMOS sensor provides 2.07 effective megapixels with fine detail and accurate color rendering. A multi-element 10x optical zoom lens covers a 60.9-degree horizontal field of view in wide angle, narrowing to 6.43 degrees in telephoto, giving operators flexible framing without mechanical repositioning. Pan travel is plus or minus 170 degrees and tilt ranges from negative 30 to positive 90 degrees, controlled at speeds from 0.1 to 180 degrees per second (pan) and 0.1 to 80 degrees per second (tilt) via the included IR remote, RS-232, USB, or TCP/IP. Up to 255 camera presets can be stored, with 10 directly accessible from the remote. The camera supports VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P control protocols for integration with professional control systems. H.264 and H.265 network streaming are available with RTMP and RTSP protocol support, enabling delivery to lecture capture platforms and streaming services. Configuration and camera preview are accessible through an integrated web server. The AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-BK ships with a wall mounting bracket, IR remote, USB cable, VISCA-to-RS-232 adapter, lens cap, and power supply. An optional AT-HDVS-CAM-CMNT ceiling mount kit supports inverted installation.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-BK and AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-WH?

The two models are identical in specifications and functionality. The BK suffix denotes a black enclosure finish, while the WH suffix denotes white. Black is typically preferred for installations on dark surfaces or where camera visibility should be reduced.

Q: Does this camera work with Microsoft Teams and Zoom without installing special drivers?

Yes. The USB 2.0 interface uses the standard UVC 1.1 (USB Video Class) driver, which is natively supported by Windows, macOS, and all major UC platforms including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco WebEx, Slack, and GoToMeeting. No additional driver installation is needed.

Q: Can the HDMI and USB outputs be used at the same time?

Yes. The AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-BK provides simultaneous video output over both interfaces. A typical deployment uses USB for soft codec conferencing on a PC at the table while HDMI feeds a local display, recording system, or AV over IP encoder at the front of the room.

Q: What PTZ control protocols does this camera support?

The camera supports VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P control protocols over RS-232, TCP/IP, USB, and IR, making it compatible with Atlona Velocity, Crestron, AMX, and other professional control platforms.

Q: How many presets can be stored and recalled?

Up to 255 camera position presets can be stored. Ten presets are directly accessible using the included IR remote control. All 255 presets are accessible via TCP/IP, RS-232, or compatible control system commands.

Q: Does the camera support IP streaming to a lecture capture or recording platform?

Yes. The camera supports H.264 and H.265 video encoding with RTMP and RTSP protocol support for delivery to lecture capture systems, streaming servers, or online streaming platforms over a standard IP network.

Q: Is a ceiling mount available for the AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI-BK?

Yes. The optional AT-HDVS-CAM-CMNT ceiling mount kit provides all hardware needed for inverted ceiling installation on drywall or suspended ceiling surfaces. The camera also supports standard 1/4-20 UNC tripod thread for tripod mounting.
