Product Overview

The AVer PTZ330N is a professional live-streaming PTZ camera with 30x optical zoom and integrated NewTek NDI® 5 for low-latency video distribution over standard IP networks. It outputs simultaneously over 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP/NDI, and USB, making it suitable for broadcast studios, houses of worship, and large conference rooms where multi-destination video routing is required. PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) support allows a single Cat cable to carry both power and network control, reducing infrastructure complexity for AV integrators and systems designers. The PTZ330N ships with a 3-year advance replacement warranty with 24-hour RMA turnaround, a differentiator for mission-critical installation environments.

Product Description

The PTZ330N is built around a 1/2.8" Sony Exmor 1080p60 CMOS sensor capable of delivering up to 1080p/60fps output with a minimum illumination of 0.43 lux at IRE50 — a figure suited to low-light auditorium and stage environments. The 30x optical zoom spans a focal range of 4.3 mm (67° wide) to 129 mm (2.3° tele), and 12x digital zoom extends reach further for large-venue applications. Pan and tilt movements are precise to 0.1° per step with a maximum preset speed of 200°/second, and up to 255 preset positions can be stored via VISCA over RS-232 or RS-422.

NDI® 5 integration means the camera can be discovered and controlled directly from NewTek-compatible switchers, vMix, OBS (with NDI plugin), and other production software without a separate control cable. SRT streaming is also supported alongside RTSP and RTMP for compatibility with encoding hardware and cloud streaming platforms. The Micro-USB port provides a UVC 1.1 output path for software-based workflows or local preview without an additional encoder. AVer's SmartShoot feature automates content capture between preset zones, giving a multi-camera feel from a single unit — useful in training rooms and broadcast studios with limited operators.

Key Features

  • 30x Optical Zoom with 12x Digital Extension — Covers wide-angle room shots at 67° and detailed long-throw framing at 2.3°, supporting large auditoriums, sanctuaries, and conference halls where subjects are 30–100+ feet from the camera position.
  • NDI® 5 Integration — Streams low-latency video over standard Gigabit Ethernet to NDI-compatible switchers, software, and production systems, eliminating dedicated video cabling runs in broadcast and live production workflows.
  • Simultaneous Multi-Output: 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP, USB — Feeds multiple destinations at once — a broadcast switcher via SDI, a confidence monitor via HDMI, a streaming encoder via IP, and a recording workstation via USB — without a distribution amplifier.
  • PoE+ Powered — A single Cat5e/6 cable delivers both network connectivity and power (IEEE 802.3at Class 4), reducing cabling and eliminating the need for a local power outlet at the camera position.
  • 255 VISCA Preset Positions — Stores up to 255 repeatable camera positions via RS-232 or RS-422 control, with pan/tilt speed precision to 0.1° per step for consistent shot framing across productions.
  • SmartShoot Automated Content Capture — Moves the camera automatically between defined preset zones on a programmable schedule, creating a multi-camera production feel from a single PTZ unit.
  • SmartFrame One-Touch Face Targeting — Instantly reframes to fit detected participants on-screen, useful in training rooms and classrooms where presenters move frequently.
  • SRT and RTSP/RTMP Streaming — Supports SRT for reliable streaming over public networks alongside RTSP and RTMP, giving AV designers flexibility in encoding and platform routing.
  • 3-Year AVerCare Advance Replacement Warranty — Includes 24-hour RMA turnaround with free return shipping, a meaningful consideration for installations in government spaces or houses of worship where downtime is costly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between NDI|HX and full NDI on the PTZ330N?

A: The PTZ330N supports NDI|HX2, which is a compressed NDI variant optimized for bandwidth efficiency over standard network infrastructure. It delivers significantly lower bitrates than full NDI while maintaining low latency, making it practical over standard Gigabit networks without dedicated video VLANs. NDI® 5 is the protocol version, and NDI|HX2 is the compression profile used by this camera.

Q: Can the PTZ330N be powered over the network without a local power outlet?

A: Yes. The PTZ330N supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at, Class 4), so a PoE+ capable switch or injector on the same Cat5e/6 run provides all necessary power. A 12 V DC power adapter is also included for installations where PoE+ is not available.

Q: How many preset positions does the PTZ330N support?

A: The IR remote stores 10 preset positions directly. When controlled via RS-232 (DIN8) or RS-422 (RJ45), VISCA protocol supports up to 255 preset positions. VISCA over IP also supports 255 presets and allows control without a dedicated serial cable.

Q: Can the PTZ330N stream to multiple destinations simultaneously?

A: Yes. The camera outputs video simultaneously via 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP (NDI/SRT/RTSP/RTMP), and USB. Up to 2 simultaneous IP streams are supported, allowing independent resolutions or protocols for different destinations such as a recorder and a live stream encoder at the same time.

Q: Is the PTZ330N compatible with vMix, OBS, and other production software?

A: Yes. The NDI® 5 output is compatible with vMix, OBS (via the NDI plugin), Wirecast, XSplit, and any other NDI-capable production software. The camera is also discoverable directly in NewTek TriCaster and similar hardware switchers without additional configuration.

Q: What warranty does the PTZ330N include?

A: The PTZ330N includes a 3-year AVerCare warranty with advance replacement. If the camera fails, AVer ships a replacement unit within 24 hours with free return shipping for the defective unit. Accessories carry a 1-year warranty.
