PTZOptics Move 4K 12X NDI|HX PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The PTZOptics Move 4K 12X NDI PTZ camera is a professional pan-tilt-zoom camera built for smaller rooms and close-proximity installations where a wide field of view and 4K image quality take priority over long-throw zoom. It delivers 4K resolution at 60fps via HDMI 2.0, alongside simultaneous NDI|HX3, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and IP streaming (RTSP, RTMP, SRT) — the same full output set as the 20X and 30X models. With PoE+ power and multi-protocol PTZ control, the Move 4K 12X integrates into any professional AV system and is auto-tracking capable via PTZOptics Move AI software.

Product Description

The PTZOptics Move 4K 12X NDI|HX PTZ camera (Gen 3, model PT12X-4K-GY-G3) is the wide-angle option in PTZOptics' Move 4K series, optimized for huddle rooms, small conference rooms, close-mount installations, and any environment where the camera is positioned within 15–20 feet of the subject. The 12x optical zoom provides a wider field of view than higher-zoom models, making it easier to cover multiple presenters or a full conference table from a single camera position. Despite the shorter zoom range, the Move 4K 12X delivers the same 4K 60fps HDMI 2.0 output, NDI|HX3 video-over-IP, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0 UVC, and simultaneous IP streaming as the rest of the Move 4K Gen 3 lineup. PTZ control is handled via VISCA over IP, VISCA RS-232, or PELCO-D/P over RS-485, enabling integration with Crestron, AMX, Q-SYS, Extron, and other professional control platforms. PoE+ (802.3at) allows clean single-cable installation; 12V DC is also supported. Auto-tracking through PTZOptics Move AI software enables hands-free presenter tracking in minimally-staffed or unattended rooms. The Move 4K 12X is compatible with PTZOptics joystick controllers and ships in gray. For AV integrators building out multi-camera systems, the 12X pairs naturally with 20X or 30X cameras to provide close-up and wide coverage from a single production environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who should choose the 12X over the 20X or 30X?

A: The 12X is the right choice when the camera will be mounted close to the subject — typically within 15 to 20 feet. It provides a wider field of view, making it easier to cover a full conference table or multiple presenters from a single position. The 20X and 30X are better suited for larger rooms where additional throw distance is needed.

Q: Does the 12X have the same outputs as the 20X and 30X?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 12X shares the identical output set: HDMI 2.0 (4K@60fps), 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, NDI|HX3, RTSP, RTMP, and SRT. The only difference across the 12X, 20X, and 30X models is the optical zoom range and corresponding field of view.

Q: Can I use this camera in a multi-camera NDI production environment?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 12X outputs NDI|HX3, which allows it to be added to any NDI-compatible production environment alongside other NDI cameras. Multiple Move 4K cameras at different zoom levels can be managed from a single NDI-capable switcher or software mixer.

Q: Is PoE+ required, or can I use a standard PoE switch?

A: PoE+ (802.3at, up to 30W) is required. Standard 802.3af PoE (15.4W) is not sufficient. A 12V DC power supply is included as an alternative if your switch does not support PoE+.

Q: What control systems can address this camera?

A: VISCA over IP supports integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, Q-SYS, and Biamp. RS-232 (VISCA) and RS-485 (PELCO-D/P) are also available for legacy or serial-based control systems.

Q: Is auto-tracking available on the 12X model?

A: Yes. Auto-tracking is supported on all Move 4K Gen 3 models, including the 12X, via PTZOptics Move AI software running on a networked computer.

Q: What warranty does this product carry?

A: PTZOptics provides a standard manufacturer warranty on Move 4K cameras. Creation Networks offers pre-sales and post-sales support to help with installation, integration, and warranty coordination. Contact us for specific warranty terms.
