JVC Announces New KY-PZ510 Series PTZ Cameras

JVC Professional Video unveiled its new KY-PZ510 Series PTZ Cameras at the recent NAB Show 2022. As the latest addition to JVC’s CONNECTED CAM remote production solutions, the new series includes four models, which feature 4K60P HEVC SRT streaming with multi-slice encoding technology to reduce latency and provide superior image quality.

The series comprises of the KY-PZ510, in black and white options, as well as the KY-PZ510N (black and white) with NDI 5 support. The PTZ cameras also offer enhanced SMART auto-tracking, which can be set to automatically follow one person and allows users to select one of multiple people within its field of view. The incorporated Vertical Interval Time Code (VITC) with Network Time Protocol (NTP) provide the cameras with multi-camera synchronization for seamless live event production.

Using the latest HEVC technology, the cameras support multi-slice encoding to ensure higher quality video at lower bitrates for remote production over the internet (REMI). They also support H.264 encoding, which offers increased compatibility with a variety of hardware and software applications. 4K60p streaming delivers natural imagery in settings with a lot of movement, such as sports and live events.

The cameras’ super-wide horizontal angle of view (80 degrees) and focal length of 21.8 to 261.8mm are the perfect way to present live-action events as well as the full scope of a classroom, auditorium or house of worship. 

All models support Secure Reliable Transport (SRT), which is resilient to bandwidth fluctuations, data loss, and intermittent connectivity, to ensure secure and error-free video delivery over the internet. The KY-PZ510N can simultaneously output NDI, SRT, and RTMPS for hybrid local/remote workflows to deliver the highest quality distribution to the world’s most popular CDNs.

The KY-PZ510 PTZ cameras will be available beginning summer 2022.
