Datavideo PTR-10 MK II Robotic Pan Tilt Head (DVIP)

Bring the remote control functionality to your own non-PTZ camera with the PTR-10 MK II Robotic Pan Tilt Head from Datavideo. More than just a motorized head, the PTR-10 MK II interfaces with PTZ-compatible control systems, allowing you the same kind of experience. From pan and tilt control to powering your camera and controlling its zoom lens via LANC or other protocols, this head is a compact PTZ solution for cameras weighing up to 8 lb.

The head easily mounts to most tripod legs and with an optional bracket, it can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. It can send your camera's video output to external video displays, switchers, and controllers such as the RMC-180 series or RMC-300A while also receiving control information for pan and tilt operations via VISCA, DVIP, RS-422, or an included IR remote control. The head is equipped with LED indicators, a tally light, and a remote port that allows you to adjust the zoom and focus of select camera lenses. It is powered by the included 12 VDC power adapter and can supply power to the attached camera or accessories, using its D-Tap output with selectable power voltage and includes a D-Tap to lockable camera power connector for use with a variety of Datavideo block cameras.

Datavideo RMC-180 Mark II PTZ Camera Controller

Use the Datavideo RMC-180 Mark II PTZ Camera Controller to adjust the focus, iris, zoom, and other settings of up to four PTZ cameras via RS-422 and VISCA protocols in live event or conference applications. One main joystick and various knobs and buttons allow for easy setup and control of connected cameras through four RJ45 inputs. Four shortcut keys per camera can be programmed into position presets for effects like close-ups and wide shots.

Plug-and-Play Interface

Connect your compatible PTZ camera units to the RMC-180 via four RJ45 inputs on the back panel. The ports feature RS-422 interface standards and are compatible with any RJ45 cable. VISCA protocols can also be utilized by the unit. The status of the controls can be viewed via the monochrome panel display, and firmware updates can be achieved via the USB-A input.

Multicamera Control

An ergonomic joystick and tactile button layout make for easy setup and control of up to four Datavideo PTZ cameras and robotic pan/tilt heads for any live production scenario.

Camera Position Presets

Shortcut keys on the RMC-180 control panel can save up to four preset positions for each connected camera (up to eight presets if only two cameras are connected). Program close-ups and wide shots, and recall them with the press of a button.

Manual Controls

Control each camera's focus and iris manually using the embedded dials. Other manual settings include pan, tilt, zoom, gain, and OSD functions on specific models. Commands are delivered via Cat 5/6 cable.

Speed Mode

The controller can move the PTZ cameras at slow, medium, and fast speeds. Select the speed of your camera movement with the quick option buttons to match the pacing of your event.

Tally Light Support

A DB-15 tally input port on the control unit allows for compatibility with Datavideo's switcher and camera tally indicators. Two different modes—tally user and tally input—can be implemented to suit your workflow.

Controls PTR-10 with Presets

The same four presets per camera can be used to control the PTR-10 robotic pan/tilt head. Iris and focus control extend to the mounted camera on the head.
