Lumens PTZ cameras for broadcast, streaming, Pro AV and hybrid production workflows
Lumens develops PTZ, NDI and auto-tracking camera solutions for professional broadcast, streaming, education, corporate, medical, courtroom and house of worship environments. In its official portfolio, the company distinguishes the PTZ Camera, NDI Camera, Auto-Tracking Camera and Camera Controller categories, which shows that its proposal is not limited to individual cameras but to more complete camera workflows.
In the basic PTZ Camera series, Lumens showcases models such as VC-A71P, VC-A53, VC-B50U and VC-R31, while in the NDI Camera series it includes VC-A71P-HN, VC-A71SN, VC-A71PN and VC-A51PN. The PTZ category is described by the company itself as a robotic camera solution for remote production workflows up to 4K60, with an emphasis on silent operation, flexible installation and central control of multiple cameras by a single operator.
Key elements of the proposal
• support for PTZ, NDI and auto-tracking workflows
• control via VISCA, VISCA over IP, NDI, Pelco and ONVIF
• compatibility with vMix, OBS Studio, Wirecast, Livestream Studio, mimoLive, Tricaster
• interface with Crestron, Extron, AMX, as well as control surfaces such as Skaarhoj and Elgato
• software tools such as VMS, Virtual Camera, OBS plugin and Companion Module for easier integration into third-party environments
From a technical point of view, the VC-A71P stands out as a 4K model with a 1/1.8″ 9.17MP sensor, 2160p59.94, 12G-SDI / HDMI 2.0 / Ethernet / USB 3.0, 30x zoom, PoE++ and support for H.265 / H.264 / MJPEG, as well as RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, MPEG-TS, SRT. The VC-A53 moves more into the Full HD category with 20x zoom, while the VC-R31 offers 1080p60 and 12x zoom for more flexible or economical setups. In the NDI models, the VC-A71P-HN, VC-A71SN and VC-A71PN extend Lumens' proposal towards IP-based production environments with NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX2 or HX3, depending on the model.
For the Comart, the solutions Lumens They are suitable for projects requiring PTZ cameras for studios, auditoriums, streaming rooms, lecture capture, conference production, hybrid spaces and IP-based production workflows. Their value is that they cover everything from classic PTZ setups to more modern NDI / remote production scenarios, with a clear orientation towards professional installations.
