PTZ CONTROL
Once primarily used in security applications, robotic or ‘PTZ’
(pan, tilt, zoom) cameras are appearing on the production scene
in ever increasing numbers. Not only do they offer dramatic
potential savings, robotic camera installations also offer both
creative possibilities and, in certain environments, safety
benefits.
TriCaster’s PTZ implementation makes it easy to operate
supported PTZ cameras from the Live Desktop or control surface.
For all TriCaster professional models, the Input Configuration panels for cameras 1-8
allows any or all of these cameras to be configured as a PTZ cam, controlled directly
from TriCaster (see Section 8.2.9).
In addition to pan, tilt and zoom control, TriCaster can also govern White Balance
settings, Focus, Iris (or ‘brightness’), and Animation Speed (‘travel speed’) settings for
supported cameras. TriCaster also provides a convenient and very visual PTZ preset
system allowing you to ‘lock in’ your shots and access them quickly.
