Datavideo’s PTR-10T MARK II converts small-size video cameras and block cameras into a remotely controlled robotic head. It fits neatly into studio environments and offers flexible mounting options for different production setups.
The PTR-10T MARK II features a sleek design that integrates well in studio spaces. It weighs 3.4 kg and is constructed from aluminum alloy, providing a sturdy base for your camera. You can place it on any heavy-duty tripod or mount it on a wall or ceiling, which increases the flexibility of your video production workflow.
You can control the PTR-10T MARK II in several ways. The package includes an IR remote control, and the head supports VISCA protocol control. In addition, it works with Datavideo control panels such as the RMC-180 Camera Controller and the RMC-300A Universal Remote-Control Panel, as well as the HS-1600T series. The unit is also compatible with HDBaseT over Ethernet for long-distance control and integrates with solutions such as Crestron.
The PTR-10T MARK II enables cost-effective conversion of regular camcorders to remote-controlled PTZ systems. Consequently, you can operate multiple cameras remotely with fewer operators, which helps reduce personnel costs and simplifies live multi-camera workflows.
The head provides a D-tap connector for DC output, a common broadcast standard for powering accessories from batteries or mains power. Datavideo includes a D-tap to DC 5.5mm cable with a lock specifically for Datavideo cameras. You can select the DC voltage output according to your camera’s needs: 7.4 / 8.4 / 10 / 12V.
The PTR-10T MARK II passes multiple signal types through the remote head. Supported interfaces include SDI, HDMI, RS-232, RS-422, HDBaseT, Tally, and LANC. For control layers, it supports Serial, Ethernet, and LANC connections, and is compatible with a range of Datavideo and third‑party control units.
Built from aluminum alloy and weighing 3.4 kg, the unit supports cameras up to a maximum load of 4 kg. The head offers wide movement ranges and variable panning/tilting speeds to match different shooting requirements.

Question: Can I mount the PTR-10T MARK II on a ceiling or wall, or is it tripod-only?
Answer: Yes. The unit’s 3.4 kg chassis and aluminum alloy construction allow placement on heavy-duty tripods as well as wall or ceiling mounting, offering flexible installation for studio and fixed-location setups.
Question: Which cameras will this head support?
Answer: The PTR-10T MARK II is designed for small-size video cameras and block cameras and supports a maximum payload of 4 kg. Ensure your camera and any attached accessories stay within that load limit.
Question: How can I control the head remotely and what distances are supported?
Answer: You can use the included IR remote, VISCA protocol controllers, Datavideo panels (RMC-180, RMC-300A, HS-1600T series), IP control, and HDBaseT. Control distance reaches up to 1,200 m via RS-422 and up to 100 m via HDBaseT.
Question: What power options are available and is a D-tap cable included?
Answer: The head accepts DC 12V–18V, with current requirements of 3A without a camera and 5A with a camera. The D-tap connector provides a broadcast-standard DC output; Datavideo includes a D-tap to DC 5.5mm cable with lock. Selectable DC output voltages are 7.4 / 8.4 / 10 / 12V.
Question: Which video and signal interfaces pass through the head?
Answer: The PTR-10T MARK II passes HDMI and SDI video signals and offers an RJ45 HDBaseT interface. It also supports RS-232, RS-422, Tally, and LANC for integrated signal and control routing in multi-camera setups.
