Features
 All-in-One Design
The camera can output 5 channels of HD video (3 channels for close-up camera, 2 channels for panorama
camera) simultaneously. Both teacher and student tracking are using the same device.
 Changeable Lens
The Panorama camera has replaceable lenses (C/CS mount lens) meaning different lenses can be used for
different sized classrooms.
 Adjustable Viewing Angle
Panorama camera can be adjusted with a viewing angle in vertical (-25° ~ +15°) for convenient installation.
 High Efficient Tracking
Built-in image recognition and tracking algorithms means tracking can be initiated without any auxiliary cam-
era or tracking host.
 Same Image Style
Both panorama and close-up camera use the same ISP, making sure the image output from both cameras
have the same brightness, color, style, etc.
 Easy Configuration
Simple to configure from the on-screen menu or from the inbuilt web page via Ethernet.
 72.5° Wide-angle Lens + 32x Digital Zoom
Close-up camera uses 72.5° wide-angle high quality lens, supports 12x optical zoom and 32x digital zoom
(optional).
 H.265 Support
H.265 encoding support, enabling full HD 1080p video stream by ultra-low bandwidth.
 1080P Full HD
Uses Panasonic's 1/2.7 inch, 2.07 million effective pixels high quality HD CMOS sensor and can reach a maxi-
mum 1920 x 1080 resolution for high quality image.
 Ultra-high Frame Rate
The output frame rate is up to 60fps in 1080P.
 AAC Audio Encoding
Close-up camera supports AAC audio encoding for better sound quality in an efficient bandwidth.
 Local Storage
Close-up camera supports a local storage module, directly recording to local USB flash disk without NVR.
 Low-light
High SNR of CMOS sensor combined with 2D and 3D noise reduction algorithm, effectively reduces the noise,
even under low illumination conditions the picture will still be clean and clear.

VISCA Network Configuration

www.networktv.tv
16 NTV8 User Guide 1-0
In default working mode, the camera is able to connect to a VISCA controller with RS232C serial interface.
➢RS232 Communication Control:
The camera can be controlled via RS232, the parameters of RS232C are as follows:
Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600 bit/s.
Start bit: 1 bit.
Data bit: 8 bits.
Stop bit: 1bit.
Parity bit: none.
➢RS485 Communication Control:
The camera can be controlled via RS485,half-duplex mode:
Baud rate: 2400/4800/9600 bit/s.
Start bit: 1 bit.
Data bit: 8 bits.
Stop bit: 1bit.
Parity bit: none.
When powered on, Pan-Tilt will rotate to the maximum position of top right after the camera started, then it
returns to the centre, the process of initialization is finished. (Note: If the position preset 0 has been stored,
the position preset 0 will be called up after initialization). Then the users can control the camera with com-
mands in the command list.
PTZ over TCP/UDP Realize
There is a TCP server built into the camera with a default port number of 5678. When the client has estab-
lished a TCP connection with the server, the client can send PTZ control commands to the server, the server
will then parse and execute the PTZ command.
There is also a UDP server built into the camera with a default port number of 1259. When the client has es-
tablished a connection to the server and send PTZ control commands, the server will then parse and execute
the PTZ command.
Command List
Note: The camera serial standard is VISCA/Pelco-D/Pelco-P. If you need VISCA/Pelco - D/Pelco - P protocol
command list in detail, they are published on the www.networktv.tv website.
