AI Presenter Tracking

Keep talent in shot automatically based on face and posture detection with AI presenter tracking. Tracking continues even when talent turns away from the shot, with an auto 0.5- 10s timeout/reset if the presenter leaves the presentation area, and the camera never tracks off set or breaks a green screen effect thanks to edge limitation. Blackboard detection locks the camera in place when it identifies a presentation area for a more enjoyable viewer experience. When partnered with FreeD-over-NDI|HX, powerful AR and XR experiences with Viz Virtual Studio Go are possible through a single cable.

Embedded FreeD Camera Positioning Metadata over NDI|HX

To simplify setup and use of camera tracking data for Augmented Reality (AR) or Extended Reality (XR) system setups, the cameras embed the open FreeD tracking data protocol in the NDI|HX stream itself, adding camera position, rotation, and lens data metadata into every frame. This world-first development removes the need for additional hardware and further reduces production complexity, making it easier than ever for all content creators to create broadcast quality content with high-end graphics systems like Viz Virtual Studio Go. Owners of the original NewTek PTZ3 and PTZ3 UHD models can enjoy FreeD-over-NDI|HX with a free firmware upgrade available on Vizrt.com.

Professional Audio with Phantom Power to Mini XLR

The phantom powered mini XLR port makes it easy to connect any powered or non-powered microphone, audio source, or sound mixer to ingest audio in the same NDI|HX stream, so your productions sound as good as they look. Enjoy wider choice and less setup with the option to power +48v microphones with no amplifier or additional cabling needed. And never worry about accidentally powering non-powered mics with two-step confirmation needed to turn phantom power on.

Intuitive Control at Your Fingertips
