1. Introduction

NBOT, NDI Motorized Head
Salrayworks introduces N BOT, the world's first NDI® motorized camera head.
• Fitted with up to a 3.2 kg camera it moves up to 340 PAN degrees and TILT Down 35
degrees as well as 20 degrees UP 1 at a rate of 15 degrees per second.
• This exquisitely designed N BOT is incredibly quiet and smooth in motion, so it won't
interfere with in-studio shooting or your live Streaming.
• The NDI® hardware (silicon-based) achieves about 140Mbit at 1080p60 and is visually
lossless.
• Power (POE+) and NDI stream through an Ethernet cable. The camera's zoom-in-out, focus
and IRIS can be controlled remotely using the LANC input. N BOT simplifies video streaming
with cableless.
• It stores and recalls up to 10 positions with a precision less than 0.1 degrees. Whether at
the studio or on the stage, memorizes the previous location with extreme accuracy and
immediately begins shooting.

Installation Precautions • It is recommended to install so that the height of the center of the housing at the top of the CAMERA
MOUNT BASE is less than 50mm. Cause • Do not exceed the loading weight (5kg) of this PAN-TILT and install it so that the center of
the housing member coincides with the center of this PAN-TILT. How to operate TILT (upper, lower) angle In the figure above, if you
loosen two bolts in the part where the label is drawn, you can see two bolts in the half-moon-shaped groove. Loosen these two bolts
2-3 turns to adjust to the desired angle position, and tighten so that it does not loosen, the angle adjustment is successful. How to
operate the PAN (left, right) angle SPT-510 There are two bolts on the top of the connector at the bottom of the outside. Loosen
these two bolts 2-3 turns to adjust them to the desired angle and tighten them so that they do not loosen.
