Broadcast Beat Builds Modern Production Facility
As you can see, each teleprompter system is ceiling-mounted and suspended using steel piping. The system design allows the broadcast team to display notes for on-screen talent and control the PTZ camera inside of each teleprompter. With this system, there is no need for on-set camera operators. Therefore, each PTZOptics camera can be controlled remotely from the production desk. Some cameras are set up to automatically move to specific PTZ camera presets allocated in the room, and other cameras are used for manual control with a PTZ joystick controller. This set also serves a dual purpose allowing the teleprompters and cameras to swing around for a full stand up infinity set.
Industry Partnership
When it comes to live streaming, everybody knows Wirecast! Wirecast is the most popular live streaming and video mixing software because it’s powerful and easy to use. The PTZOptics camera line is being used with Wirecast in many different ways, from a direct USB connection to digital video such as HDMI and HD-SDI through 3rd party video switchers. So it was important for PTZOptics to partner with TeleStream & Wirecast to ensure seamless compatibility and support.
The easiest way to use a PTZOptics camera (or multiple PTZOptics cameras) with Wirecast is to use a USB connection for video. Since Wirecast runs on any Mac or PC you can simply pull in a PTZOptics camera as an “input” using the USB 3.0 connection from the camera to your computer.
Another popular way to use PTZOptics cameras with Wirecast is using RTSP or RTMP streaming protocols. Wirecast can accept the PTZOptics audio and video from a stream over your network. This can be ideal for customers with easy access to a Cat-5 connection to their network. Wirecast then pulls all the necessary video mixing and streaming capabilities into one powerful interface. In this instance you PTZOptics can provide the live video/audio feed and PTZ control over your network at the same time.
