JVC Professional Video debuted its new KY-PZ540 Series PTZ Cameras with 40x zoom. As the company’s first PTZ cameras to incorporate this focal depth, the KY-PZ540 and KY-PZ540N with integrated NDI HX3 capabilities are designed with JVC’s 4K imager. The cameras also feature JVC’s Variable Scan Mapping technology, which dynamically scans the 4K sensor to produce a seamless and lossless image transition up to 40x in full-resolution HD. The cameras are ideal for large event spaces and instances when the need to zoom in from a distance is essential.

The new KY-PZ540 PTZ cameras incorporate AI-enabled advanced SMART auto-tracking operation and NDI supported IP-based remote operation capabilities. JVC recently expanded its auto-tracking to include five new advanced features: Standard, Area, Stage, Wide Area and Fine Adjustment modes. In addition, presets for exposure, color and image were added as well. These upgrades provide additional benefits in frame composition, zones and modes of operation. There is also a USB video device class (UVC) available for direct connection to Zoom, Google Meet and other online videoconferencing programs.

The new KY-PZ540 PTZ Camera series has a starting retail price of $1,999.
