The Vizrt PTZ3 PLUS is a professional pan tilt zoom camera that blends the simplicity of PTZ operation with broadcast grade performance and intelligent automation. Designed for studios, education, corporate communication, healthcare, and live production environments, it delivers high quality HD video while dramatically reducing the need for manual camera operation. With built in AI presenter tracking, FreeD camera tracking metadata embedded directly into the NDI stream, and professional audio support, the PTZ3 PLUS enables powerful modern workflows using a single network connection.

AI Driven Presenter Tracking

The PTZ3 PLUS uses advanced face and posture detection to automatically track presenters in a natural and reliable way. Tracking continues even when the presenter turns away to face a screen or board. Presenter memory prevents accidental subject switching if another person enters the frame, while configurable target switching allows smooth transitions between multiple presenters. Blackboard detection intelligently locks the camera within defined presentation areas, reducing jitter and maintaining a stable, professional viewing experience.

FreeD over NDI for AR and XR Production

The camera embeds open FreeD tracking metadata directly into every NDI HX frame, including camera position, rotation, and lens data. This removes the need for external tracking hardware and greatly simplifies AR and XR production workflows. With preconfigured lens data and embedded metadata, broadcast quality virtual sets and graphics become accessible even for smaller studios and content creators.

Professional Audio with Phantom Powered Mini XLR

A phantom powered mini XLR microphone input allows direct connection of professional microphones or mixers, with audio embedded directly into the NDI stream. A standard 3.5 mm line input is also available for additional flexibility. Phantom power activation is protected by a two step confirmation process to prevent accidental power delivery to non powered microphones, ensuring safe and reliable audio operation.

Efficient Network Video with NDI HX

The PTZ3 PLUS delivers video over the network in resolutions up to 1080p60 using NDI HX2 or NDI HX3. NDI HX3 provides lower latency and reduced bandwidth usage while maintaining high visual quality. Multicast support allows multiple receivers to access the same stream efficiently, conserving network resources in larger installations.

Simple Installation with Power over Ethernet

With PoE+ support, power, video, audio, control, tally, and tracking data can all be delivered over a single Ethernet cable. This significantly reduces cabling complexity and makes the PTZ3 PLUS ideal for fixed installations, conference rooms, and rapidly deployed studio environments.

Hybrid Outputs and Remote Operation

In addition to NDI, the camera includes 3G SDI and HDMI outputs for integration into traditional broadcast and AV workflows. Remote operation is handled through a web based interface or NDI Studio Monitor, allowing full control of camera movement, video settings, audio configuration, and network parameters. The PTZ3 PLUS can also function as a high quality webcam for popular video conferencing and collaboration applications.
