Datavideo PTC-140 – 20x Optical Zoom Full HD PTZ Camera

Key features at a glance

The Datavideo PTC-140 delivers Full HD images with flexible zoom and robust streaming options. It combines a 1/2.8 inch CMOS sensor, 1920x1080 Full HD resolution at 60fps, and a 20x optical zoom with 10x digital zoom to capture clear shots at a distance. The camera also supports advanced 2D/3D noise reduction and built-in streaming with H.264/H.265 encoding.

Image quality and zoom

The PTC-140 uses a 1/2.8 inch CMOS sensor to produce 1920x1080px Full HD video at up to 60fps. Its 20x optical zoom retains image detail when you zoom in optically, and the additional 10x digital zoom extends framing options when you need closer shots. Together, these zoom options let you position the camera where you need it and still capture usable, sharp images.

Low-light and noise reduction

The camera supports advanced 2D and 3D digital noise reduction. As a result, it can deliver clearer and smoother images in less-than-perfect lighting conditions. This function helps reduce visible noise while preserving detail, making the PTC-140 useful for controlled indoor environments and venues with variable lighting.

Streaming and encoding

The PTC-140 includes a built-in streaming encoder and supports both H.264 and H.265 video compression. It can encode up to two simultaneous streams, enabling parallel delivery to multiple cloud services or streaming platforms. This makes it suitable for live events, remote production, and multi-destination streaming workflows.

Control options and multi-camera setups

Datavideo provides several control methods for the PTC-140. The RMC-180 joystick controller offers an ergonomic layout and tactile buttons to set up and operate up to four PTC-140 cameras in a live production. For larger systems, the RMC-300C works with an iPad or Android tablet and can control up to 24 PTC-140 cameras.

Additionally, the camera offers a web user interface in IP mode. Through the web UI you can preview video, perform pan-tilt-zoom control, and adjust configuration settings remotely.
