Convert Any Camera into a Professional PTZ

The Datavideo PTR-15 bridges the gap between traditional cinematography and modern robotic automation. By mounting your DSLR, mirrorless, or broadcast camcorder onto the PTR-15, you gain full remote control over pan and tilt movements. Through LANC or serial protocols, the head can even control your camera's internal parameters—such as iris, shutter, and zoom—effectively giving you a high-performance PTZ experience using the superior optics of your own camera.

Broadcast-Grade Sync and Connectivity

Designed for the most demanding production environments, the PTR-15 is equipped with a comprehensive array of professional interfaces. It supports 12G-SDI for uncompressed 4K video and features Genlock/Timecode support. This allows every camera in your setup to be locked to the same clock frequency, preventing frame tearing and ensuring that your multi-camera switches are frame-accurate and broadcast-legal.

Advanced Power Management & PoE++

Installation is simplified through integrated PoE++ (Power over Ethernet) technology, allowing you to deploy the head in remote locations without hunting for local power outlets. For the camera itself, the PTR-15 provides a dual-voltage 12/24V D-Tap output, enabling the head to power your camera and accessories directly from its own stable, surge-protected power supply.

Ready for the Future: AR/VR Integration

The PTR-15 is a powerful tool for modern virtual production. It supports the Free-D protocol, which transmits real-time lens tracking and motor data via RS-422. This makes it fully compatible with virtual studio systems like the Datavideo TVS-3000, allowing for perfect synchronization between physical camera movements and digital AR/VR environments. Whether you are using the included IR remote or a hardware controller like the RMC-300A, the PTR-15 delivers the smooth, predictable motion required for professional 4K content.
