The Datavideo PTC-305T is a professional 4K PTZ camera specifically designed for environments utilizing HDBaseT video distribution. By integrating AI-driven auto-tracking with a powerful 20x optical zoom, it provides a comprehensive solution for classrooms, large conference rooms, and houses of worship. The HDBaseT interface allows for lossless video transmission over long distances, making it the perfect choice for complex installations where traditional cabling limits might be a factor.

Integrated HDBaseT Workflow

The defining feature of the PTC-305T is its compatibility with HDBaseT technology. This allows a single Cat6 cable to carry uncompressed 4K video, power (PoE+), tally, and control signals up to 100 meters. This model is engineered to work seamlessly with Datavideo HDBaseT switchers and receivers, significantly reducing cable clutter and simplifying the setup for large-scale AV projects.

Intelligent Auto-Tracking and Speed Control

Equipped with a sophisticated PID algorithm, the PTC-305T recognizes subject movement and automatically adjusts its pan, tilt, and zoom speeds. This ensures that camera movements are smooth and professional, avoiding the jarring starts and stops often seen in basic tracking cameras. Users can lock the camera to a specific presenter and choose between full-body, half-body, or close-up framing to maintain the perfect shot regardless of how much the speaker moves.

Broadcast-Grade Imaging and Flexibility

Featuring a large 1/1.8" CMOS sensor, the camera delivers vibrant 4K60 images with superior low-light performance, further enhanced by 3D noise reduction. The PTC-305T offers simultaneous outputs, providing an HDMI 2.0 and IP signal at 4K, alongside a 1080p 3G-SDI output. This versatility ensures the camera fits into any existing broadcast or streaming ecosystem, supporting protocols like SRT and RTMP for direct-to-web broadcasting.
