SKAARHOJ PTZ Pro

Perform precise pan/tilt/zoom control movements and have configuration and selection of PTZ cameras at your fingertips with the PTZ Pro Camera Controller from SKAARHOJ. Featuring a precision 3-axis joystick and dedicated focus knob, this compact controller makes it easy to pan, tilt, and rotate your cameras while also controlling their focus and zoom. The control panel features four backlit encoder knobs, ten camera selection buttons, and multiple programmable multifunction keys for presets and menu navigation.

The PTZ Pro runs the SKAARHOJ-developed open-source UniSketch OS, which is user programmable to fit specific workflows. PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) technology simplifies setup by enabling data and power to travel via a single cable. The controller is compatible with VISCA devices as well as other IP-controlled cameras from brands such as AIDA, Lumens, NewTek, Panasonic, PTZ Optics, and Sony.

A power adapter and an Ethernet cable are included in the box. There are available options to upgrade the joystick to the Hall Effect ergonomic joystick, as well as an option for an SDI upgrade component for use with Blackmagic Arduino Shields and fiber converters.
