ALL OVER THE PLACE Panasonic’s PTZ cameras are versatile, being employed for stadiums and stages, like Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour
Case by case Due to their features and robustness, PTZs are now used for numerous purposes. One area where demand for them is increasing is in live sports. Sports production demands reliable, high-performance AV solutions to capture fast-paced action and deliver instant replays, engaging fans both at home and in the stadium. PTZs have also become a key part of training, assisting with analysis of players’ techniques and helping to improve strategies. Their tracking features are particularly beneficial in fast-paced sports like ice hockey, as they can focus on specific players or elements of the game. Panasonic’s PTZs have been used for big music events and tours, such as Ed Sheeran’s global Mathematics Tour , Eurovision Song Contest and Camper Calling Festival. They have also been used across numerous sporting events. “They were installed in major broadcast studios all around the world, like Mediaset and RTL2, to name a few,” adds Arkatova. “They’re also very popular in higher education institutions like Sciences Po in Paris, and in corporate settings, for example in studios at RWE and IFM. These cameras enable smoother movements and can be managed remotely, from intuitive
deployment, and robust control – all in one package. Their different PTZ variations include the N2, N6 and N7 models, the EXU series, the SD530NX and EX1030NX. With models offering up to 4K/60p video, advanced zoom, large sensors and outputs like High Bandwidth NDI, NDI HX3, NDI Embedded Bridge, 12G-SDI, optical fibre and HDMI, these PTZs are designed for indoor arenas, performance spaces and high-end production facilities. Bolin’s PTZ camera line-up has grown to meet the increasing demands of modern broadcast and AV workflows – ranging from high- end indoor production to rugged outdoor coverage and flexible IP- based installations. “Each product line serves a unique purpose based on image requirements, environment and connectivity needs,” notes Sapan Doshi, product manager at Bolin. “Bolin is also a pioneer in PTZs that support Dante AV, offering cameras with Dante AV Ultra and AV-H to enable synchronised audio and video over IP. These are a natural fit for enterprise AV, live events and integrated AV systems where Dante infrastructure is already in place. “Bolin designs PTZ cameras with flexibility and practicality in mind. Many of its models offer multiple,
simultaneous and independent video outputs – such as NDI, SDI, HDMI, USB and IP streaming – with each kind also capable of operating at different resolutions. “This allows users to tailor each output for a specific use case, like sending 4K to a switcher while streaming in HD. Best of all, every feature is available out of the box – there are no subscriptions, unlock codes or additional licence fees needed to access full functionality.”
