JVC MAKES A MOVE INTO HIGH-END PTZ PRODUCTION Full remote control capabilities are via JVC’s RM-LP100 controller, KM- IP6000/4000 live IP production
Streaming pioneer JVC has unveiled three new PTZ remote cameras, designed for IP production. The new 4K KY-PZ400N and HD KY-PZ200N are equipped with NDI HX and SRT streaming, H.265/H.264/ MJPEG encoding, and VITC (Vertical Interval Timecode) multi-camera synchronisation.

All camera models are available in black or white, and include SRT, HTTP, RTSP, RTMP/RTMPS and standard protocols.
