Surveillance/Network Cameras

2160p and 1080p Resolution
Supporting 4K and 1080p output, VC-A61P is future-proofed for all your production requirements for years to come. The CMOS sensor is partnered with a high brightness zoom lens which enables the camera to excel in virtually every lighting condition. It makes the VC-A61P a great PTZ choice, whether installed in a studio, theatre, conference center, or lecture hall.

Optical Performance
The 30x lens is exceptionally powerful. It allows operators to zoom in close from the back of a venue or shoot wide to capture a full conference panel thanks to its 68 degree horizontal viewing angle. For extreme close shots, a digital zoom can be deployed, while 3D noise reduction maintains clear pictures and excellent results.

Video Workflow Flexibility
Equipped with HDMI, 3G-SDI, and Ethernet outputs, the VC-A61P can be integrated with almost any AV, broadcast or IP workflow. All models support simultaneous H.264 and HEVC streaming. Such a wide range of video outputs means that the camera is ready to fulfill a wide variety of roles - as a PTZ camera source for lecture capture, live event production, or video streaming direct to YouTube or Facebook.

The VC-A61PN version of the camera adds NDI®|HX PTZ support for fast integration with NDI® infrastructures.

AV Integration and Control
Lumens VC-A61P supports both PoE (Power over Ethernet) and a 12v DC input. It also features dedicated RS-232 in-out ports, RS-422, and Ethernet-based control protocol support (including Crestron, Extron, Visca, Pelco D, FreeD, and Onvif). This gives the camera an unparalleled level of flexibility: whatever the video workflow, whatever the AV integration, VC-A61P is ready to take the complexity out of camera installation and management.

Broadcast Quality UltraHD Video
Paired with a low distortion professional zoom lens, the camera's large (1/1.8") CMOS sensor produces great 4K and HD results. Operating in lighting conditions down to 0.05 lux, the smooth video output makes it an ideal camera for producing sports, theatre, and live events. Its excellent color reproduction and 12G-SDI output mean it's a great choice for productions where image quality is of the highest importance.

AV and Broadcast Integration
The VC-A71P integrates with a variety of professional AV, IT, and broadcast workflows. The camera is ready for SDI and HDMI video workflows, IP networks, direct video streaming, and video conferencing via USB 3.0. Each interface will output video simultaneously, creating a flexible installation, monitoring, switching, and distribution options.

Live VR/AR Video Production
VC-A71P supports the popular FreeD protocol which outputs the camera's positional data over IP in real-time. This enables users to work with state-of-the-art Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality sets without the need for additional sensors.

Control and Power
Lumens' PTZ cameras offer users a high degree of versatility. The VC-A71P can be powered by a dedicated 12v DC adapter, or via POE++, giving network managers the option to install devices in any position. Multiple control protocols (Visca, Pelco, Onvif and UVC) and interfaces (RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet and USB 3.0) enable cameras to join new or existing networks.

Face Recognition Autofocus System
Equipped with Lumens' Smart AF algorithm, VC-A71P can intelligently identify human faces and automatically detect the eyes and mouth. This enables the camera to keep the subject in sharp focus all the time.

Semi-Autonomous Production
Each camera supports up-to 256 presets, allowing users to switch angles and zoom positions, and engage tracking movements at the touch of a button. The advanced Auto Focus, Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance algorithms automatically deliver consistent images while zooming and panning, or under changing lighting conditions. Together, these advanced functions allow a single operator to manage multiple cameras and to produce multi-camera productions without the need for a large crew.

Applications

• Broadcast and Video Studios: built-in 12G-SDI, IP control and tally lights make VC-A71P and ideal 4K studio camera.
• Live Events and Sports: Shooting UltraHD at 60p delivers smooth, high-quality images, with the zoom lens able to shoot wide and deliver extreme close-ups.
• Next Generation AV Installation: featuring major control protocols and with support for multiple power and video output options, VC-A71P can integrate into the corporate, house of worship and education installations to deliver higher quality results.

Ultra-low Latency Video over IP

VC-A71PN supports NDI^®|HX, the popular video networking format. Once connected to the local area network, it is available to the production desk as an NDI^® video source, controlled by software or a dedicated hardware device. The bandwidth requirement for an NDI^®|HX UltraHD 60fps video stream with audio and control data is minimal (around 20 Mb/s). Using this highly efficient format, multiple 4K cameras can distribute high-quality, low latency video without overwhelming the IP network.

Video Workflow Flexibility

Featuring HDMI and Ethernet outputs, the VC-A71PN can be integrated with almost any AV, broadcast, or IP workflow. While all models deliver simultaneous H.264 and HEVC streaming, the inclusion of NDI^®|HX adds support for fast integration with NDI^® infrastructures. Such a wide range of video outputs means that the camera is ready to fulfill a wide variety of roles - as a PTZ camera source for lecture capture and live event production.
