PTZOptics Move 4K 30X NDI|HX PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The PTZOptics Move 4K 30X NDI PTZ camera is a professional-grade pan-tilt-zoom camera designed for demanding AV installations where long-throw zoom and 4K image quality are required. Delivering true 4K resolution at 60fps via HDMI 2.0, this camera supports NDI|HX3, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and simultaneous IP streaming — making it a natural fit for house of worship production, higher education lecture capture, and broadcast studio environments. With PoE+ power delivery and full IP control via VISCA over IP, the Move 4K 30X integrates cleanly into existing AV infrastructure. Auto-tracking capability through PTZOptics Move AI software eliminates the need for a dedicated camera operator in single-presenter settings.

Product Description

The PTZOptics Move 4K 30X NDI|HX PTZ camera (Gen 3) is PTZOptics' longest-reach model in the Move 4K series, offering 30x optical zoom with a 4K 60fps HDMI 2.0 output alongside simultaneous NDI|HX3, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and IP streaming (RTSP, RTMP, SRT). For AV integrators designing systems in large sanctuaries, lecture halls, courtrooms, or auditoriums, the 30x optical zoom enables clean framing of distant subjects without requiring camera repositioning. Control is handled via VISCA over IP, VISCA RS-232, PELCO-D/P over RS-485, or the included IR remote, giving system designers flexibility to integrate with virtually any control system. The camera accepts PoE+ (802.3at) for clean single-cable runs or 12V DC for traditional installations. NDI|HX3 delivers low-latency, high-quality video over standard gigabit Ethernet — compatible with major production software including vMix, OBS, Wirecast, and NewTek TriCaster. PTZOptics Move AI software enables auto-tracking of a presenter using body, face, or zone detection, which is particularly valuable in unattended or minimally-staffed production environments. The Move 4K 30X ships in gray and is compatible with PTZOptics joystick controllers including the SuperJoy and PT-JOY-G4. With a field of view range suited for large rooms and a feature set that covers broadcast, conferencing, and streaming simultaneously, this camera delivers the flexibility professional AV systems demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the PTZOptics Move 4K 30X compatible with vMix, OBS, and Wirecast?

A: Yes. The camera supports NDI|HX3 which is natively recognized by vMix, OBS (with NDI plugin), Wirecast, and NewTek TriCaster. USB 3.0 UVC and RTSP/RTMP/SRT are also available for software that does not support NDI.

Q: Can I power this camera with PoE+?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 30X supports PoE+ (802.3at), allowing a single CAT cable to carry both network data and power. A 12V DC input is also provided for traditional power supply installations.

Q: What control systems is this camera compatible with?

A: The camera supports VISCA over IP, VISCA RS-232, PELCO-D, and PELCO-P over RS-485. This covers integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, Q-SYS, and most other professional AV control platforms.

Q: Does auto-tracking require additional hardware?

A: Auto-tracking requires PTZOptics Move AI software running on a networked computer. No additional hardware is required beyond the camera and a standard gigabit network connection.

Q: What is the difference between the 30X and 20X Move 4K models?

A: The primary difference is optical zoom range. The 30X is suited for larger venues where subjects are farther from the camera — large sanctuaries, auditoriums, and courtrooms. The 20X is appropriate for mid-size rooms. All outputs and control protocols are identical across the Move 4K series.

Q: Can this camera stream to YouTube or Facebook Live directly?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 30X supports RTMP streaming, allowing direct connection to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and other RTMP-based platforms without an external encoder.

Q: What warranty and support does PTZOptics provide?

A: PTZOptics provides a standard manufacturer warranty. Creation Networks offers pre-sales technical support to help integrators specify the correct model and accessories for their installation. Contact us for warranty terms and support resources.

Q: Is this camera compatible with PTZOptics joystick controllers?

A: Yes. The Move 4K 30X is fully compatible with the PTZOptics SuperJoy, PT-JOY-G4 (Serial/IP), and PT-JOY-G4-SER (Serial) joystick controllers via VISCA over IP or RS-232/RS-485.
