Descrizione
Three camera angles, one operator, no second van in the car park. Production used to scale with headcount. A wide shot, a mid shot and a tight shot meant three people behind three bodies, and a fourth to cut between them. That arithmetic stopped working the moment a single operator could drive three motorised heads from one screen, and it stopped mattering entirely when those heads started tracking a speaker without being told where to look. This kit is that shift, boxed.
Three SMTAV PTZ heads sit on this bundle, each with a 20x optical zoom range and an AI tracking engine that follows a subject across the room instead of holding a static frame. Live output runs simultaneously over NDI, SDI, HDMI, USB and IP, so the same camera feeds a vision mixer, a streaming laptop and a recording station without a converter in the signal path. Power over Ethernet means one cable per camera for both data and power, which is the difference between a two-hour install and a two-day one. A PoE switch is included so the whole rig comes up on a single power point.
The sensor is a 1/2.0-inch class block, the format that gives you usable depth separation in rooms with mixed daylight and stage lighting. Mounting is standard PTZ hardware, control is whatever you already own - joystick, web app, or a vision mixer with camera control built in. For churches, lecture halls, council chambers, courtrooms and hybrid conference rooms, this is the configuration that removes the second operator from the budget.
One operator is not a compromise. It is the new baseline.
Key Features

Where It Works
The venue that benefits most is the one with a fixed stage and a small crew: a sanctuary with one tech volunteer, a university lecture hall recording every session, a council chamber required to publish its proceedings, a conference room running hybrid meetings where the remote attendees need to see the speaker and the whiteboard. In each of those rooms, three motorised angles replace three fixed cameras and three operators. The tracked head handles the speaker, the second covers the panel, the third holds the wide - and one person sits at the switcher, which is the entire economic argument for this kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do all three cameras stream at the same time?
A: Yes. Each head outputs simultaneously across NDI, SDI, HDMI, USB and IP, so you can route one signal to a mixer, another to a streaming laptop and a third to a recorder at the same time from the same unit.
Q: What does the AI tracking actually do?
A: It locks onto a subject and drives the pan, tilt and zoom to keep that subject framed without an operator. It is designed for the presenter who walks away from the lectern, which is the single most common failure of a manually operated camera in a small venue.
Q: Do I need a dedicated control surface?
A: No. The heads can be driven over IP from a browser or a tablet, and most vision mixers control PTZ cameras directly. If you already own a joystick controller, it will almost certainly drive these heads over the standard protocol.
Q: How is the resolution specified?
A: Manufacturer documentation lists Full-HD 1080P capture support with 4K NDI streaming on the AI-tracking variant. Confirm the output tier you need for your switcher when ordering, and we will match the correct model to your workflow.
Q: Why PoE rather than separate power?
A: One cable per camera carries data, control and power. On a ceiling install that is the difference between three cables down a wall and three cable runs with local power taps at each mount. The included switch means the whole rig starts from a single outlet.
Q: Can this replace an existing fixed-camera installation?
A: Yes, and that is the usual upgrade path. The mount interface is standard PTZ hardware, so the heads go where the fixed cameras were, and the operator count drops as soon as the tracking is dialled in.
