Chula Vista, California, April 2, 2015 – Providing ease of installation, high-definition video quality and a low total cost of ownership, Hitachi America, Ltd., Digital Media Division, Security Solutions Group is introducing the PTZ Series Full HD Camera Series. The PTZ Series cameras support clear and lively video conferencing, video recording and net broadcasting, and are ideal for a variety of applications that include boardrooms, classrooms, auditoriums and houses of worship.
The PTZ Series is comprised of six models: the VZ-HD3600A; VZ-HD3650A; VZ-HD3700A; VZHD3780A; VZ-HD4000A; and VZ-HD4900A. All of the PTZ Series cameras feature an optical lens for Full HD with 10x zoom, while the VZ-HD4000A and VZ-HD4900A also have a 25x zoom. Four of the six models offer a wide horizontal viewing angle of 70 degrees, making them perfect for classroom recording. A direct drive motor pan/tilt mechanism provides non-distracting smooth and quiet functionality—a huge advantage in classrooms and video conferences.
Thanks to high-quality image processing, the PTZ Series features a high signal-to-noise ratio and high resolution using noise reduction technology, while producing faithful color reproduction using a non-linear matrix circuit, and reducing false color signal phenomena. In addition, a Full HD, two million pixel CMOS imaging sensor offers bright colors and high sensitivity.
For needs in large venues, the PTZ Series features seven-daisy-chain control for low-light shooting. The PTZ Series also offers 32 preset memories for pan/tilt/zoom and other settings using the remote control unit, and up to 127 presets using external control via RS-232C or RS-422. Various digital video interfaces are available, including 3G-SDi, HD-SDI and DVI-I.
