PTZOptics 30x NDI Camera

I've been helping Livestream for over 10 years. Crazy to think about it as I started with a basic DSLR and cropped the image as there wasn't a clean video image that I captured using OBS. Then I upgraded to handcams using a remote with a motorized base. Then finally upgraded to the solution I love and will continue to recommend, NDI. SDI is better, but it's more involved and more expensive. 

I've used this same camera with NDI and without NDI using the VISCA controls. Hands down, NDI was way more convenient. 

PTZOptics 30x NDI Overview

The exact model is PT-30x-NDI  there are a couple of different models and depends on which color you get, WH or GY for white or grey. There are also firmware upgrades that enable auto-tracking too. They don't advertise this well but it's there. One drawback is this is these cameras are only 1080p. I don't usually stream in 4k and 1080p is just fine. There is the PTZOptics Move 4k NDI if you're ready for that upgrade.

Where to buy the PTZOptics 30X NDI

Buying at Amazon is a logical choice. Good if you need it quick. You could reach out to Josh at Web Buildout and you'll get for the same price. They will also help answer questions and setup options as they are very experienced with these cameras and have done many streaming setups.
