Designed to seamlessly integrate into diverse workflows, the Explore PTZ camera features a 20x optical zoom and a versatile array of connectivity options, including 12G-SDI with Genlock, NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX3, HDMI, and SFP+. Its comprehensive feature set goes beyond essential imaging capabilities, offering AI Auto-Tracking, FreeD integration for Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) production, and local recording, ensuring users with flexibility and versatility.
Telycam Explore PTZ camera also features a built-in electronic variable ND filter, allowing smooth adjustment of light transmission levels to 1.6%, 6.3%, 25%, and 100%. Additionally, users can attach their preferred ND filter directly onto the lens using reserved threads, ensuring precise control over lighting conditions in a wide range of shooting scenarios.
1-Inch Sensor: Setting New Standards in PTZ Image Quality
Featuring a substantial 1-inch sensor, the Explore delivers exceptional performance that rivals traditional PTZ cameras. The larger sensor size enhances light sensitivity, resulting in superior low-light performance, reduced noise levels, and the creation of beautiful ‘bokeh’ effects with a shallow depth of field to suit any artistic intention.
With an expanded dynamic range that captures intricate details in both shadows and highlights, the Explore ensures stunningly clear images with enhanced contrast and clarity.
PDAF Fast Focus for Precision Capture
In addition to its 1-inch sensor, the Telycam Explore PTZ camera features advanced PDAF—a rarity in the PTZ camera market—setting it apart from competitors. PDAF offers unparalleled speed and accuracy in autofocus, making it ideal for dynamic broadcast and live streaming scenarios. Whether tracking fast-moving subjects or capturing spontaneous moments, the Explore ensures continuous sharp focus, crucial for error-free live productions.
By eliminating the need for manual focus adjustments, PDAF empowers camera operators to focus on framing and composition, delivering exceptional image quality, production efficiency, and workflow optimization for broadcasters and content creators alike.
Seamless Integration for Immersive AR/VR Experiences
Telycam Explore PTZ camera seamlessly integrates into AR and VR environments, providing real-time video and tracking data for flawless virtual production. Compatible with leading platforms such as Brainstorm InfinitySet, Aximmetry, Zero Density, ClassX srl, and Vset 3D, the Explore caters to diverse budgets and production scales.
