Product Summary

PTZOptics 12X-USB Gen2 PTZ Camera with 12x Optical Zoom (Gray)

The PTZOptics 12X-USB Gen2 PTZ Camera is a professional Full HD camera designed for web conferencing, live streaming, distance learning, corporate meetings, houses of worship, and other professional AV applications. Finished in gray, it features a 1/2.7" 2.1MP CMOS sensor, 12x optical zoom, and USB 3.0 connectivity for direct connection to Mac and Windows computers.

The Gen2 platform supports 1080p video at up to 60/50 fps and offers H.265 and MJPEG network streaming in addition to H.264, providing flexible options for conferencing and live production workflows.

Full HD 1080p60/50 Video

Capture smooth, detailed 1080p HD video at up to 60/50 fps for professional conferencing, presentations, lectures, streaming, and remote collaboration.

The camera incorporates Wide Dynamic Range along with 2D and 3D noise reduction to help maintain clear, consistent imagery across a variety of lighting conditions.

Imaging Features

  • 1/2.7" 2.1MP CMOS sensor
  • Full HD 1080p video at up to 60/50 fps
  • 0.5 lux minimum illumination at f/1.8
  • Wide Dynamic Range
  • 2D and 3D noise reduction
  • Motorized pan, tilt, and zoom

Versatile 12x Optical Zoom

The integrated 3.5–42.3mm lens provides a 12x optical zoom range, giving users the flexibility to frame everything from group meetings and classrooms to tighter shots of individual speakers and presenters.

Lens Specifications

  • 3.5–42.3mm focal length
  • 12x optical zoom
  • f/1.8–f/2.8 aperture
  • 0.5 lux minimum illumination at f/1.8

The fast lens aperture, Wide Dynamic Range, and integrated noise reduction help maintain image quality in challenging and relatively low-light environments.

USB 3.0 Conferencing Connectivity

A USB 3.0 output allows the camera to connect directly to a compatible computer for HD web conferencing and video production.

The USB connection is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 when the camera resolution is set to 960 x 540, providing additional flexibility when integrating with older computer systems.

Because the camera provides uncompressed 1080p video through USB, a quad-core Mac or Windows computer is recommended for reliable processing.

Multiple Video Outputs

In addition to USB, the camera provides HDMI, LAN, and composite outputs, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of professional conferencing and streaming workflows.

USB, LAN, and HDMI outputs can operate simultaneously at the same selected resolution. The composite output operates independently at 480i/576i.

Connectivity

  • USB 3.0
  • HDMI output
  • LAN port
  • Composite video output
  • RS-232 input and output
  • RS-485 port
  • 3.5mm audio input

IP Streaming

The integrated LAN connection enables direct network streaming without requiring a separate streaming encoder for compatible workflows.

The camera can transmit two H.264 or H.265 RTSP streams simultaneously, with one HD and one SD stream, or provide a single MJPEG stream.

Streaming Capabilities

  • H.264 HD/SD dual streaming
  • H.265 HD/SD dual streaming
  • MJPEG single streaming
  • RTSP network streaming
  • Direct distribution to compatible CDNs and streaming services

A 3.5mm audio input allows external audio to be embedded into the LAN stream so synchronized audio and video can be delivered to the destination.

The LAN connection on this USB model is intended for streaming and control and does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE).

UVC Camera Control

Built-in UVC control allows compatible software to control pan, tilt, and zoom directly through the USB connection.

The UVC protocol can be configured for either absolute or relative operation, providing additional flexibility when integrating the camera with compatible conferencing and production applications.

Flexible PTZ Control

Multiple control methods allow the camera to integrate into simple conferencing setups as well as more advanced professional AV environments.
