ZCAM – PTZ Cameras
Z-CAM P2-R1 Series
Cinema-Grade PTZ.
Built for Broadcast.
The Z-CAM P2-R1 brings cinema color science and AI-powered tracking to a professional PTZ camera — delivering 4K60p, 18× optical zoom, PDAF, and NDI|HX3 in one compact, PoE-powered unit.
Everything You Need.
Nothing You Don’t.
The P2-R1 combines Z-CAM’s acclaimed cinema color science with broadcast-ready connectivity and intelligent automation — all in a single PTZ head.
4K60p with Cinema Color
Shoot up to UHD 4K at 60fps on a large 1/1.3″ CMOS sensor, inheriting the same color pipeline that powers Z-CAM’s acclaimed cinema cameras.
PDAF Autofocus
Phase Detection Autofocus locks on faster and more accurately than contrast-based systems, with face detection and continuous focus tracking built in.
AI Auto-Tracking
Real-time intelligent subject tracking runs onboard — no external computer required. Keeps your talent perfectly framed during live events and broadcasts.
18× Optical Zoom (f/1.6)
A professional-grade lens covering 36–648mm (35mm eq.) at a fast f/1.6–f/3.5 aperture. Double up with 36× digital zoom in 1080p mode.
Versatile I/O
3G-SDI, HDMI, and USB-C video outputs. Stream over IP via RTMP/RTSP/SRT. 3.5mm audio in. PoE+ or 12V DC power — your call.
Full Protocol Control
VISCA over IP and serial, FreeD for AR/VR productions, and a web-based interface for remote configuration. Integrates with any broadcast control system.
360° PTZ Movement
350° pan, 240° tilt, with movement speeds up to 180°/second. Smooth, precise positioning with programmable presets for repeatable shot recall.
Simultaneous Record + Stream
Record up to 4K60p H.265 to a Micro SD card while streaming live — no need to choose between archive quality and broadcast delivery.
Electronic Image Stabilization
Built-in EIS keeps your footage steady even when the camera experiences vibration or minor movement — critical for permanent and semi-permanent installs.
