The PTZOptics Move 4K cameras bring unmatched convenience to sports production with auto-tracking technology. These cameras can automatically follow players on the field or court, ensuring that the action stays in frame without the need for a dedicated camera operator. This feature allows producers to focus on storytelling and analysis rather than manually adjusting camera angles.
