Good video. Thanks for the review. I am currently using 7 regular 20x Fomako's on site. I wanted to add an auto tracking camera. Looks like this is the one to go with. The only downside I see is it does not have SDI. My entire system is SDI connected. I'll have to convert. I didn't want to loose any frames in the process.

[@LeoPazzo]

I think they have a sdi version. NDI connection is another option as well that might easily work for your needs depending on your setup. Overall I have been happy with this cameras performance and features.

[@DocMicrowave]

@@LeoPazzo I do use NDI to move cameras, video and grapgics around between computers for additional processing. Also for backup production through vMix in case our hardware mixers fail. But primary production work is done with a Blackmagic ATEM 1 m/e via SDI links. Live video goes up on large screens for iMag. NDI may be low latency, but it will still be noticeable on those screens. So it's SDI for the main workflow.

Why not try AVKANS AI TRACKING NDI camera, with SDI and Tally Light Built-in.

Quality looks great. Nice review video. Lots of information. Thank you.

Really good review! Do you have any mounting the camera with the wall bracket?

[@LeoPazzo]

So far I have only been using it on desk or tripod as most of my setups are mobile from one location to the next so I haven’t taken advantage of the mounting brackets yet.

[@mccleish]

@@LeoPazzoOk thanks do you have any setup of the tripod mounting and do you setup from a far distance using networking connection and long HDMI cables?

[@LeoPazzo]

@@mccleish ​​⁠ I usually take advantage of the NDI feature to avoid using long hdmi cables. Usually just the power cable and the network cable. Then connect to the camera with obs ndi input.

Have you tried the autotracking when zoomed in to a speakers? And, how easy is it to set up the auto tracking on one speaker when you have several speakers?

[@FleetfootMike]

does this work with the KC608 Pro, particularly with sending control over the LAN connection?

[@LeoPazzo]

Hey Mike I don’t own the KC608 Pro so I can’t confirm 100% but I would assume yes it would to work.

[@samuraiintellectual]

Is this a PTZ camera? I wasn’t sure until I heard it 385 times.

[@LeoPazzo]

lol bro too funny. I’m glad now you know it’s a PTZ camera.

[@dshin1118]

How far of a distance can this camera go ? Without loosing focus ? Can you try ?

[@LeoPazzo]

I’m not sure exactly the answer. What do you mean how far can this camera go? Like zoom in? Loosing focus on what? A person or what? I can maybe try and test this out for you but be a little more specific on how you want me to perform the test.

[@dshin1118]

Yep zooming

[@dshin1118]

On a person

[@LeoPazzo]

Ok 👌

[@BOULTONMEDIA]

Will the PTZ connect wirelessly to my network?

[@LeoPazzo]

Yes it will because this model has NDI. So just connect network cable to this ptz camera and it will connect wirelessly to your network/ pc. If you have anymore questions feel free to let me know.

[@brendanldove]

Does this camera send the audio through hdmi?

[@LeoPazzo]

Hey there Brendan Yes this camera will send the audio via hdmi. 📼🎥🎶

[@dachautv]

As it has an audio input I would presume so. I cannot imagine it not doing that.

[@lisuphoenix8038]

Impressive review. Thank you！💥
