What is a PTZ Camera?
Pan. Tilt. Zoom. A robotic camera that allow you to work them remote and not have a camera person in the room.
Adding PTZ Cameras to Your Multi-Cam Livestreaming Workflow
- Now is the PERFECT time to buy a PTZ camera or add a camera to your current set-up
- There are great deals available now with a new generation of cameras being announced
- When the new cameras shipped they will be higher priced and the cameras available now may be perfect for what you need and can always be moved to a secondary location if you want to get a 4K camera next year
- The key to a good production is Multiple Cameras… Take advantage of the deals and create that 3 to 4 camera shoot at a fraction of the cost
