Large-Format 1-Inch Optics and Specialized Zeiss Zoom

The Bolin EXU248N Long Range Outdoor NDI PTZ Camera sets a new benchmark for remote outdoor video production, combining large-format imagery with unprecedented ultra-telephoto range. Built around a premium 1.0-type back-illuminated Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor, the camera establishes an expansive light-receiving area that captures exceptionally clean, low-noise imagery in challenging, low-light environments. This large-format sensor block is paired with a world-class Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lens assembly, enabling an extraordinary dual-profile tracking range of 48x optical zoom in Full HD mode and 18x optical zoom in native 4K Ultra HD. To ensure steady framing at extreme focal lengths, hardware-driven Mechanical Optical Image Stabilization actively dampens structural pole vibrations and ambient camera tremors, making the EXU248N the ultimate choice for sports stadiums, observation towers, weather decks, and massive outdoor events.

Decentralized WAN Workflows via NDI Embedded Bridge

Engineered to streamline modern decentralized broadcast environments, the EXU248N natively integrates NDI Embedded Bridge technology. This powerful internal protocol eliminates regional limitations by transforming the camera into an independent gateway capable of transmitting and receiving encrypted, low-latency NDI audio, video, and bidirectional control streams across Wide Area Networks (WAN). Production crews can configure hardware setups ahead of time for flawless plug-and-play remote contribution in the field without needing intricate local server setups or external encoder boxes. Operating fluidly across Certified NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX3, and NDI 6 frameworks, the system simplifies global remote collaboration for multi-venue events and distributed television operations.

Multi-Axis AR/VR Telemetry and Phase Synchronization

For complex virtual studio environments, the EXU248N includes comprehensive hardware integration with the industry-standard FreeD tracking protocol. The precise robotic drive delivers continuous, low-latency spatial coordinate metadata—including real-time pan, tilt, zoom, and focus telemetry—directly to augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) graphics pipelines. To secure flawless integration with traditional baseband broadcast control rooms, a dedicated BNC Genlock reference input provides exact phase timing alignment across multi-camera production loops. Operators can further adapt to unpredictable exterior lighting using an integrated physical ND filter system, a 130dB Visibility Enhancer dynamic range engine, and comprehensive 15-step color gain, hue, and gamma adjustments via the on-screen menu.

Complete Hybrid Interfaces and Environmental Defense

The rugged interface array on the rear panel of the EXU248N delivers true dual-output flexibility, sending native baseband video and compressed network lines simultaneously. Physical video lines route concurrently via dual 6G-SDI ports, a native HDMI 2.0 interface, and an SFP Optical SDI slot designed for long-distance glass fiber runs, while the network layer processes simultaneous NDI, SRT, RTSP, and RTMP streams. Professional balanced XLR broadcast audio connectivity is securely embedded through a waterproof 10-pin LEMO breakout connection. Encased in an IP67 dustproof and waterproof enclosure equipped with built-in internal heaters and defrosters, the camera withstands extreme wind velocities up to 60 m/s and operates reliably from –40 °C to 60 °C. Fully NDAA compliant, it supports convenient single-cable runs using high-power PoE++, features a built-in physical tally light, and allows for remote firmware optimization completely over IP.
