Datavideo PTC-140NDIW Pan/Tilt camera with NDI-HX (W)

Datavideo PTC-140NDIW Pan/Tilt camera with NDI‑HX – Single Ethernet NDI® | HX with PoE for simplified video, audio, power and control

The Datavideo PTC-140NDIW is an NDI PTZ camera designed to simplify live production and streaming workflows. It combines a broadcast-quality 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor with NDI® | HX technology and Power over Ethernet (PoE) so you can transmit video, audio, power, tally and control over a single Ethernet cable.

Broadcast-quality imaging and frame rates

The camera uses a 1/2.8-inch CMOS sensor and delivers resolution up to 1920x1080. It supports frame rates up to 60fps for smooth motion, and can compress two channels at 1920x1080p up to 30fps when required. These capabilities make the PTC-140NDIW suitable for a range of live and recorded applications.

Video compression, audio support and streaming protocols

• Video compression: Supports H.264 and H.265 compression for efficient network streaming and recording.
• Audio compression: Supports AAC, MP3 and PCM audio codecs, giving flexibility for different streaming and recording setups.
• Streaming protocols: The camera supports RTSP and RTMPS, allowing direct streaming to supported CDN platforms and services.

NDI® | HX and single-cable workflow

The PTC-140NDIW implements NDI® | HX technology so you can carry video, audio, power, tally and control over one Ethernet cable. In addition, PoE functionality enables the camera to receive power through the same Ethernet cable, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation.

Also, NDI Virtual Input lets you present the PTC-140NDIW as a video source to common conferencing and streaming applications such as Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx, Zoom and similar platforms.

Control and system integration

You can control real-time pan, tilt and zoom movements with Datavideo controllers RMC-300A, RMC-300C and RMC-180. For integration with larger control systems, the camera offers RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 ports and accepts DVIP and VISCA commands. These interfaces allow you to integrate the camera into existing control infrastructures and automate camera operations.

Noise reduction and image clarity

The camera uses advanced 2D/3D noise reduction technology to lower noise while maintaining image sharpness. This helps achieve a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for cleaner video in a variety of lighting conditions.

Design options and typical use cases

• Color options: The PTC-140NDI is available in dark blue and white models to better match different studio or venue aesthetics.
• Recommended uses: The camera is suitable for broadcast, worship services, video conferencing and similar live production environments.

Tally indicators

The PTC-140NDIW includes tally lights that display preview and program status, helping operators and talent know which camera is live or queued.
