Overview

One of our best-selling live streaming cameras, the BG-UPTZ-ND offers exceptional picture quality at resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz with a 12x/20x/30x optical zoom lens that enables HD image captures at various distances supported by advanced auto focus algorithms. Thanks to a variety of video outputs including HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 3.0, and NDI|HX, the BG-UPTZ-ND is ready to power virtually any production or live streaming platform.

One of the best advantages of the BG-UPTZ-ND live streaming camera is its ease of use. Users of this device enjoy utilizing the latest NDI technology and power over ethernet (PoE) functionality. This removes the need for additional video or power cables. The camera is also equipped with a stream encoder that supports H.264/H.265 video compression and the RTMP(S) network protocol. This allows users to easily stream directly from the camera to platforms like Facebook and YouTube. Users of this popular camera also enjoy its precise motor controller for smooth and quiet movement.

Camera and Output

The BG-UPTZ-ND owes its outstanding image quality to its optical sensor, a 1/2.8” high quality HD progressive CMOS sensor. High quality optical zoom in 12x, 20x and 30x is available with this camera, but digital zoom up to an additional 10x is also available. The camera has a field of view of up to 72.5° at 12X (56° for 20X and 65° for 30X lenses).

What is NDI?

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices. With a single ethernet cable connection, professionals can merge all stages of production from start to finish. That way, all production tasks and processes will be united, so accomplishing a creative vision will be simple. With the NDI 5.5 tool-kit, users will also be able to connect any audio device as an NDI source with NDI’s Audio Direct tool. This adds audio over IP to NDI’s revolution.

What is NDI|HX2?

NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a 'cleaner' implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency and give a more flexible connection which shares all the usual features of NDI. Learn more about NDI technology

Benefits of NDI Technology for Your Streaming Project

NDI technology presents a multitude of advantages for live streaming, encompassing high-quality video and audio, minimal latency, scalability, and seamless integration with your current hardware and software setup. It has emerged as a favored option among broadcasters and content creators seeking to provide top-notch professional live streams

Control and Connectivity

This camera supports multiple control options, including WebGUI, NDI, IP VISCA, ONVIF, RS422/485, and cascading RS232 (VISCA/Pelco-P/D). The BG-UPTZ-ND also supports up to 255 preset positions and IR remote control.

PoE and NDI technology eliminate the need for additional power and video cables, making this camera easy to install. The camera also enables operators to embed stereo audio with a 3.5mm jack. Mounting options for walls, ceilings, and tripods are also available for this device, making it an extremely flexible platform for recording and streaming your events. Whether you’re recording videoconferencing, remote learning, worship services, sporting events, concerts, or other events, the superior control this popular camera provides will get the job done.

This camera supports SRT, enabling high-quality, low-latency video to be sent reliably over the internet.

Take Control with NDI

The NDI Core Suite is a versatile collection of tools and plugins designed for managing NDI (Network Device Interface) streams effectively. These tools cater to various aspects of NDI usage, including sharing desktop video and audio from your computer to other networked devices (NDI Scan Converter), sending NDI from mobile sources to webcam applications (NDI Virtual Input), and managing the accessibility and visibility of NDI systems and sources on your network (NDI Access Manager). 

Additionally, the suite includes tools for testing and confirming connectivity, calibrating audio and video (NDI Test Patterns), monitoring NDI video sources (NDI Video Monitor and NDI Studio Monitor), and diagnosing network connection performance issues (NDI Analysis). Altogether, the NDI Core Suite provides a comprehensive set of resources for controlling NDI connections.
