Introducing the PTC-205, Datavideo’s latest 4K tracking camera designed for professional-grade video production.
Equipped with a powerful 1/2.8” CMOS sensor, 20x optical zoom, and 8x digital zoom, the PTC-205 delivers crystal-clear image quality, even in complex shooting environments.
Supporting 4K50/60 YUV 422 output and simultaneous HDMI 2.0, 3G-SDI, and streaming, this camera ensures maximum flexibility for any workflow.
With built-in auto tracking, advanced 3D noise reduction, NDI HX3, and support for H.264/H.265 compression, the PTC-205 is perfect for live events, lectures, and corporate productions. Power it easily through PoE+ (802.3at) and streamline your setup without compromising on performance.
Connect your PTC-205 to multiple devices in your workflow for flexibility. All the outputs are active at the same time.
You will be allowed direct access to auto tracking via various external controllers such as the supplied RMC-1AT remote control and DVIP controllers (RMC-300A, PTC View Assist, etc.)
In addition to camera controllers, you can also easily enable auto tracking on smart switchers which include iCAST mini, SHOWCAST 100, etc as well as complete solution systems like ZR-1 Hybrid Video Production Solution.
If you are filming multiple people, you can designate a person for auto tracking. Once linked to the camera, only the designated person will be tracked, avoiding interferences such as the desks, people coming back and forth, large objects, etc.
The integrated PID algorithm is able to detect the movement speed of the identified object and automatically adjust the camera's corresponding pan, tilt and zoom speeds in such a way that the lens movement will be smooth, avoiding common camera lens movement problems like jerky movements or unpredicted halts.
The positioning of talent depends on the videographer's creativity and intent rather than strict rules. Different positions can convey various emotions, messages, or visual effects. A centered composition provides a sense of stability and balance, suitable for scenes that require highlighting the main subject. Videographers may also place the talent on the left third or right third of the frame, leaving adequate space in the foreground to showcase the talent's sight direction or potential future possibilities.
All of the PTC-205 camera series include RMC-1AT controller. User can quickly select full-body, half-body and close up framing, making it easy to change the shooting scene and framing requirements.
RMC-1AT PTZ Controller. All you need is a remote control to set and control all four cameras and save the four presets.
The web user interface provides preview, pan-tilt-zoom control and configurations setting in IP mode.
With built-in 1/2.8" CMOS sensor, supports resolution up to 2160p 50/60.
ThThe PTC-205 camera features a 20x optical zoom and 8x digital zoom with an f/1.8 wide-open aperture.
Advanced 3D noise reduction technology is also used to further reduce the noise while ensuring image sharpness.
Supports simultaneous HDMI 2.0 and IP output up to 2160p 50/60 and also 3G-SDI output up to 1080p60/50.
Support RTSP and RTMPS protocols, easy to stream directly to two different CDN platforms and Datavideo dvCloud as well.
Support compression of resolution up to 3840x2160 with frame up to 59.94, 60fps and the second channel 720x480p compression. AAC, MP3 and PCM audio compression also supported.
The PTC-205 supports PoE for easy installation. No need to find local power outlets or hire an electrician to install outlets wherever you want to mount your camera. Simply run a single CAT-6 cable to power your PTC-205.
Green and red lights tally to show the preview and program status for broadcast applications.
Datavideo's PTZ camera series now supports NDI (Network Device Interface) features, enhancing their versatility and integration capabilities. With NDI, these cameras can transmit high-quality, low-latency video over IP networks, making them ideal for live production environments. The implementation of NDI utilizes the DVIP (Datavideo Protocol) ports, ensuring seamless connectivity and control. This advancement allows users to leverage the flexibility of IP-based workflows, simplifying setup and reducing the need for additional cabling, ultimately streamlining the production process.
There is no need for multiple cables and complicated setup. Single-wire concept helps you to transfer video, audio, power, tally, and control over only one Ethernet cable.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE) functionality allows you transmit all the information and power over only one cable.

PTC-205 as an video input source can be applied to various platforms: Skype, GoToMeeting, WebEx, Zoom, and more.
The camera control app is tailored for the Datavideo PTZ camera series. It can monitor the live streaming video from PTC-140, PTC-145, PTC-205, PTC-280, PTC-285, PTC-300 and PTC-305 series. The app can control up to 4 cameras simultaneously via DVIP, you can intuitively set up and recall the presets, and adjust white balance, focus and IRIS.
The app is able to decode the live streaming via RTSP and SRT. Easily monitor the live streaming video and set up the parameters promptly in one application. Datavideo provides iOS and Android versions, which you can download on Google Play and App Store for free!
The PTC-205 is available in dark gray or white to remain inconspicuous in permanent setups.
Datavideo's wide range of encoders, cameras, and hand-carry switchers are fully supported by SRT and dvCloud. Datavideo encoders and dvCloud provide reliable streams over unreliable networks.
By using a Datavideo encoder and dvCloud together, you can utilize SRT (instead of RTMP) on the initial problematic connection or "First Mile." After your video stream reaches dvCloud, you can depend on dvCloud's reliable, high-bandwidth network to deliver the stream to your favorite destinations, like Facebook and YouTube.
