The FOMAKO : 30X OPTICAL ZOOM, HD, 3G-SDI, HDMI, NDI is a high-performance PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera primarily designed for professional video production and live streaming applications. It's particularly popular for uses in churches, education, conferences, broadcasting, hospitals, weddings, and houses of worship due to its robust features and versatile connectivity.
Key Features
- NDI 6 & NDI HX3 Certified: This is a major highlight. NDI (Network Device Interface) is an IP video protocol that allows for high-quality, low-latency video, audio, control, and power to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable (PoE - Power over Ethernet).
- NDI 6 supports features like HDR and NDI streams over WAN.
- NDI HX3 offers even lower latency and higher video quality compared to NDI HX2 and the original NDI HX, making it ideal for demanding live production environments.
- AI Auto-Tracking (Gen 3): The camera incorporates advanced AI algorithms for automatic tracking of subjects. This allows for customized tracking features like adjusting sensitivity, figure size, click-to-switch tracking targets, AI-track speed, horizontal tracking only, character position, and lost target action.
- High-Quality Video Output:
- Full HD 1080p at 60fps: It utilizes a 1/2.8-inch high-quality CMOS sensor to deliver sharp and vivid images.
- Multiple Video Output Interfaces: It simultaneously outputs video via NDI, HDMI, 3G-SDI, and USB 3.0, offering flexibility for various production workflows. SDI output can extend up to 150m at 1080p@60fps.
- H.264/H.265 Compression: Supports these video compression standards, ensuring smooth and clear motion video even under low bandwidth conditions.
- Excellent Colour Reproduction: Designed to deliver "true to life colours" and good image quality.
- Optical Zoom: Typically comes with a 30x optical zoom lens, allowing for detailed shots from a distance. Some models may offer 12x or 20x options as well.
- Low Noise and High SNR: Features advanced 2D/3D noise reduction technology to ensure clear video even in low-light conditions.
- Multiple Network Protocols: Supports a range of protocols including GB28181, RTSP, RTMP, VISCA OVER IP, IP VISCA, RTMPS, and SRT, making it easy to integrate with various streaming servers and platforms like YouTube and Facebook.
- Compatibility: Highly compatible with popular video production and live streaming software such as vMix, OBS, Zoom, Skype, Propresenter, StreamYards, and Wirecast. It can also be controlled by Blackmagic Design ATEM switchers and FoMaKo's own PTZ IP controllers.
- Easy Setup: Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), meaning power, control, and video/audio signals can be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation. It also often features an LCD screen to show the IP address for easy network integration.
- Durable Design: Some models emphasize a "gear transmission structure" for more accurate preset positioning and increased durability compared to belt-driven systems.
