Videokonferenzkamera, NDI 4K UHD-Kamera, BA20UHD-N

OK

I bought this camera after I bought the BA20-N HD camera. I was so pleased with the results of the HD model, that I ordered the 4K NDI version with 20x zoom. Before, I was using full frame and APS-C cameras from Sony for live productions, and I never thought that these PTZ cameras would be able to deliver such a good image quality, and especially in low light conditions. The build quality is excellent, and they make nearly no noise when changing position. I use them with the K50 PTZ controller from SMTAV and with vMix for NDI and both work excellent. I´m working in the broadcast industry and I´m astonished that I can now get a 4K camera with simultaneous SDI, HDMI and NDI out. That would have cost a small fortune 5 years ago. I bought the first unit over Amazon Germany and the second directly at SMTAV.com because the 4K version was not available over Amazon. I have to say that Alex from SMTAV was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly. I complaint that there was no manual available for the K50 PTZ controller on their websites and a few hours later, I had it in my mail account (it was before I place the order). I would find it more helpful if they would update their website, but what the hack, they reacted so quickly that it´s ok for me. The shipment from China took 4 days, while my first SMTAV camera over Amazon took 2 days. All in all, I think it was a very good purchase, while I hope that they will last me a long time. I´m even thinking about eventually purchasing a 3rd camera, the 4K model with 12x zoom NDI and AI tracking. Why don´t I give it 5 stars, well that´s because I think that only PTZ cameras with a 1" sensor deserve such a high rating, but they cost way more money :-)

I bought this camera for use in my personal studio. It works absolutely perfectly. The image is precise, detailed, the colors are right. All that's missing is an iOS app to be able to run them, and that would be perfect! The interfaces are the same as the PTZ Optics. The configuration is very simple. I'm curious to see over time if his cameras will continue to perform as well.
