PTZOptics Move 4K 20X NDI|HX PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The PTZOptics Move 4K 20X NDI PTZ camera is a professional pan-tilt-zoom camera delivering 4K resolution at 60fps with 20x optical zoom, designed for corporate conferencing, house of worship production, and higher education lecture capture. It outputs simultaneously over NDI|HX3, HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and IP streaming protocols, giving AV integrators maximum flexibility in how video is routed and distributed. Powered via PoE+ (802.3at) or 12V DC, the Move 4K 20X supports full multi-protocol PTZ control — VISCA over IP, VISCA RS-232, PELCO-D/P over RS-485 — and is auto-tracking capable through PTZOptics Move AI software.

Product Description

The PTZOptics Move 4K 20X NDI|HX PTZ camera (Gen 3, model PT20X-4K-GY-G3) is the mid-range zoom option in PTZOptics' flagship Move 4K series, and the most widely deployed model across corporate and institutional AV installations. The 20x optical zoom covers the majority of mid-to-large conference rooms, boardrooms, classrooms, and sanctuary environments without requiring the camera to be positioned close to the subject. Video outputs include HDMI 2.0 at 4K@60fps, 3G-SDI for broadcast routing, USB 3.0 for direct PC connection as a UVC camera, and NDI|HX3 for video-over-IP over standard gigabit Ethernet. IP streaming via RTSP, RTMP, and SRT allows simultaneous multi-destination delivery to recording servers, streaming platforms, and CDNs. Control integrators can address the camera via VISCA over IP from control processors such as Crestron, AMX, or Q-SYS, or via RS-232/RS-485 using PELCO-D or PELCO-P for legacy systems. PoE+ simplifies installation by eliminating a separate power run, while 12V DC is available as an alternative. Auto-tracking with PTZOptics Move AI software enables presenter tracking by body, face, or zone, reducing staffing requirements in minimally-operated rooms. The Move 4K 20X is compatible with PTZOptics SuperJoy and PT-JOY-G4 joystick controllers and ships in gray.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the 20X compare to the 12X and 30X Move 4K models?

A: The 20X is the most commonly deployed zoom level, covering most mid-to-large conference rooms, classrooms, and sanctuaries. The 12X is better suited for smaller rooms where the camera is positioned closer to subjects. The 30X is optimized for very large venues where subjects are distant from the camera position. All three models share identical outputs and control protocols.

Q: Is this camera compatible with Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms?

A: The Move 4K 20X connects via USB 3.0 as a standard UVC camera, making it compatible with any conferencing platform that accepts a USB camera input, including Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Cisco Webex, and Google Meet.

Q: Can I use PoE+ to power this camera?

A: Yes. The camera supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+, allowing a single CAT6 cable to carry network data, PTZ control, NDI video, and power. A 12V DC power input is also available for installations without PoE+ infrastructure.

Q: What control processors are compatible with this camera?

A: The Move 4K 20X supports VISCA over IP and VISCA RS-232 for integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, Q-SYS, and Biamp control systems. RS-485 with PELCO-D/P is also supported for legacy control environments.

Q: Does auto-tracking require a subscription?

A: PTZOptics Move AI software is required for auto-tracking. Contact PTZOptics or Creation Networks for current licensing terms and software requirements.

Q: What joystick controllers are compatible?

A: The Move 4K 20X is compatible with the PTZOptics SuperJoy (network joystick with HDMI preview), the PT-JOY-G4 (Serial/IP joystick), and the PT-JOY-G4-SER (Serial joystick). All controllers support multi-camera addressing.

Q: Can this camera output to multiple destinations simultaneously?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 20X supports simultaneous output over HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, NDI|HX3, and IP streaming (RTSP/RTMP/SRT), allowing different feeds to go to different destinations at the same time.
