AVKANS NDI Camera, 20X Optical PTZ Camera with Simultaneous HDMI/3G-SDI/IP Streaming for Church Video Production School Events Worship(NDI Approved by Newtek Officially)

Easy to install using hdmi but putting it in NDI is a little bit challenging(anyways they have a support where they can help you) Just like 10 minutes it done. Anyway the support is the best.About the device, 1st quality is best, before i was hesitant because it is cheaper than other competitor but i didn't regret that i bought this. Quality video is clear. If I know they have 4k I push to buy the 4k but amazon doesn't have it. In their website they have the 4k.

This NDI camera is a game changer for us given the features and price point. Unless your streaming situation allows for an operator physically controlling a high quality camcorder/dslr on a tripod, this NDI PTZ should be at the top of your list.Our church currently uses a Canon HF G21 with a bescor pan tilt mount that is captured using an Elgato Camlink and brought into OBS. I have two separate remotes to control the zoom and the pan/tilt mount as a result of this setup.As our streaming usage has grown over the years, I've wanted to address three areas of improvement:1. Have the video directly accessible on the network by multiple devices with low latency since we also broadcast the video locally with our in house audio. Putting the video on the network so it can be accessed by other devices is critical from a redundancy perspective so that our backup computers can stream if needed2. Save zoom and pan settings for three fixed locations we constantly use. Throughout the service we switch between three different areas. Our operators have to use the remotes to pan and zoom while running the other AV systems. Having preset settings that can be controlled at the push of a button would simplify things for the operator3. Improve low light quality. While I really wanted to go to a larger sensor device with removable lens, we don't have the man power or the space for someone to be at a camera throughout the service. Plus, we are a traditional worship and are not putting on pseudo concerts.The Avkans NDI camera checks all three boxes. NDI setup was straightforward for me. OBS was able to find the NDI stream once I put it on the network. In full disclosure, I am proficient with managing networks and have configured other NDI encoders and devices so I didn't find any of this particularly difficult.I purchased a huddlecam to use with the camera and it was plug and play. Saving zoom/pan/tilt presets worked right out of the box as did the manual joystick control. The motor is quiet and the pan tilt smoothness is comparable to our Bescor.Surprisingly, even though the sensor size of the Avkans (1/2.7") and the Canon G21 (1/2.84") are similar, and both lens are f1.8-2.8, the Avkans image is brighter and handles low light better. The image is also sharper despite the post-adjustments we do in OBS for the Canon.The cost of the Avkans camera is roughly equivalent to our current setup and is easily half the cost of other comparable PTZs. When you consider the fact that it not only replaces all of our existing functionality but adds NDI AND simplifies things for the operator, I wish we could've had this from the very beginning and used the extra money towards better lighting.Lastly, I did reach out to support when I was mounting the camera as I accidentally damaged the device. They were extremely responsive and worked with me to resolve the issue quickly. A lot of times warranty on products from overseas is useless but in this case the Avkans team aims to please.

Kamerę testuje od paru tygodni i nie mam nic jej do zarzucenia.Obrazek jest na bardzo przyzwoitym poziomie, nie odbiega od normalnych kamer, za dwa razy większą kwotę. Dodatkowo można go bardzo fajnie ustawić dzięki dużej liczbie ustawień - presety, balans bieli itp. Sterowanie kamerą również odbywa się na parę sposobów, pilotem lub innymi protokołami dso tego dedykowanymi. Osobiście najlepiej sprawuje się opcja sterowaniem kamery po IP - w zewnętrznych aplikacjach, gdzie można sterować kamera np. padem od xbox'a.Wyjścia video - tutaj jest wszystko co trzeba, SDI działa bardzo dobrze - testowane na kablach 100m przy obrazie 60fps.NDI-HX + POE - bardzo fajna opcja jeżeli chcemy kamerę podpiąć do komputera jednym kablem rj45 i przy okazji ją zasilić.Suma sumarum - naprawdę fajny wybór w tym przedziale cenowym. Dla osób ciekawskich - dodam, że kamera ta jest klonem innej znanej marki, posiada wszystkie te same rozwiązania softowe i sprzętowe, a kosztuje 2x mniej.
