SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro Camera Controller With Blue Pill

SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro Camera Controller With Blue Pill

SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro Camera Controller
Perform precise pan/tilt/zoom control movements and have configuration and selection of PTZ cameras at your fingertips with the PTZ Pro Camera Controller from SKAARHOJ. Featuring a precision 3-axis joystick and dedicated focus knob, this compact controller makes it easy to pan, tilt, and rotate your cameras while also controlling their focus and zoom. The control panel features four backlit encoder knobs, ten camera selection buttons, and multiple programmable multifunction keys for presets and menu navigation.

The PTZ Pro runs the SKAARHOJ-developed open-source UniSketch OS, which is user programmable to fit specific workflows. PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) technology simplifies setup by enabling data and power to travel via a single cable. The controller is compatible with VISCA devices as well as other IP-controlled cameras from brands such as Everet, Lumens, NewTek, Panasonic, PTZ Optics, and Sony.

A power adapter and an Ethernet cable are included in the box. There are available options to upgrade the joystick to the Hall Effect ergonomic joystick, as well as an option for an SDI upgrade component for use with Blackmagic Arduino Shields and fiber converters.

Blue Pill:

Blue Pill enhances the UniSketch ecosystem by combining multiple controllers into a single seamless controller. For example, you can take a PTZ Pro and combine with a Frame Shot and have the Frame Shot show thumbnails for your preset recalls. The selected camera on the PTZ Pro will drive the preset selection on the Frame Shot because to Blue Pill they are essentially just one single panel.

Blue Pill talks to UniSketch panels via the Raw Panel device core on UniSketch. This device core has been around for a long time as a way for third party developers to interface with UniSketch controllers. With this road tested technology, Blue Pill simply takes control over the UniSketch panels and offers unprecedented possibilities that UniSketch could never do on its own. This includes:

• Virtually unlimited SKAARHOJ panels combined (seamless modularity)

• Virtually unlimited devices being integrated (cameras, switcher, routers, etc.)

• New integrations not available on UniSketch (like new camera releases from Canon, RED, Panasonic etc., just for a start)

• System provided features such as presets (macros / timelines), virtual triggers etc
