Packing List

1 x PTC-120 PTZ Camera

1 x Accessory List

1 x PTC-120 Quick Start Guide

1. Product Overview

The Datavideo PTC-120 HD/SD Video Camera is a PTZ camera that can be mounted

on a wall, ceiling, floor, or a tabletop, and comes with an IR remote control. The

camera is equipped with

• 1/2.8 inch image sensor

• Full HD-1080p output resolution

• High dynamic image of up to 60 frames per second

• Superior 20x optical zoom lens

• Excellent white balance

Its exposure mode delivers a clear image even in a low light environment or under

conditions of extreme light and dark contrast in a conference room.

The camera covers a wide shooting angle and utilizes the high efficiency servo-

controlled DC motor to achieve instantaneous, quiet, and precise positioning, as well

as smooth PTZ operations. PTC-120 supports 3G-SDI, DVI, component, and

Composite Video interfaces to allow four simultaneous image outputs.

PTC-120 is compatible with all video equipment with up to 128 preset settings. A

dedicated remote control is available. PTC-120 delivers a continuous, clear, and vivid

live image without any distortions. It is ideally suited for lecture recording, video

conferencing, and stage performance.

2. Features

• HD Resolution: 1/2.8" High Definition 2.0 M Pixels CMOS sensor

• 20x optical zoom; 12x digital zoom

• High definition formats supported: 1080/60p, 1080/50p, 1080/60i, 1080/50i,

1080/30p, 1080/25p, 720/60p, 720/50p, 720/30p, 720/25p

• 240 times variable zoom ratio (20x optical zoom with 12x digital zoom)

• Maximum horizontal/vertical speed of rotation: 300 degrees/sec

• Delivers a fast response with an extremely clear image

• Video Output: Simultaneous 3G-SDI, DVI, Component and CVBS image outputs

• SONY VISCA Protocol Keyboard supported

3. System Configuration

The PTC-120 PTZ Color Video Camera can be set up in various system configurations.

This section describes how PTC-120 can be connected as a standalone device as well

as cascade connection of multiple cameras.

3.1 Single Camera Connection

IR Remote Control

This camera can be set up within a short distance by using the supplied IR remote

control, see section 5.1. In this way the camera can be used a standalone device.

The following video output connections are available from the rear of the camera,

3G-SDI, Component, DVI and CVBS. Below scenario diagrams show each of these

connections in use with an appropriate cable and monitor/TV.

PTC-120 to an HDTV or a computer

monitor (DVI) (Cable Optional)

PTC-120 to a TV (Composite Video)

(Cable Optional)

PTC-120 to a monitor (3G-SDI)

(Cable Optional)

PTC-120 to an HDTV or a TV

(Component) (Cable Optional)

SONY VISCA Compatible Controller

In addition to the supplied IR remote control, the PTC-120 camera can also be

controlled remotely using a SONY VISCA compatible controller such as the

Datavideo RMC-190 unit. This camera can be controlled over an RS-232C or RS-422

connection as shown in the diagrams below. The camera video output is connected

to the monitor via one of the four available video interfaces.

RS-232 System Setup

RS-422 System Setup

3.2 Multiple Cameras Cascade

The PTC-120 camera can also be used in an environment where multiple cameras

are required. With RS-232 INPUT/OUTPUT ports, the user is allowed to cascade up

to seven cameras, which are subsequently controlled by either a computer (Please

download a utility program first from http://www.serialporttool.com/PTZ.htm

case you need to control the camera via a PC) or a SONY VISCA compatible

controller. RS-232C and RS-422 system setups for connection of multiple cameras

are illustrated in the respective diagrams below.

RS-232C Cascade Connection

RS-422 Cascade Connection

For wiring information, please see Section 11 for RS-232C and Section 12 for RS-

422.

However, the connection will be broken if one unit is powered off. In other words,

the cameras connected subsequent to the broken one will become uncontrollable

by RMC-190. For example, in the above diagram, if cameras #2 and #3 are defective

or powered off, all camera connections (4/5/6/7) after camera #3 will be cut off

from the daisy chain and RMC-190 will not be able to control them even if the

cameras are still operable.

The cameras have to be at least in the standby mode for the entire daisy chain

connection to stay controllable by RMC-190. In the above example, if cameras #2

and #3 are in standby mode, the user will still be able to control all cameras after

camera #3 from RMC-190.

If the camera is powered off or defective, there will be no LED lighting in standby

mode. The user should check the LED lighting first if the daisy chain is found to be

broken.
