Presenter tracking
Power over Ethernet
P12i is a 1080p AI tracking PTZ camera with 12× optical zoom. It suits small to medium classrooms, training rooms and meeting rooms. With AI tracking on, the camera follows the presenter by itself and nobody has to operate it.
01AI auto tracking
Wherever the presenter goes, the camera follows.
AI person tracking is built in, with no extra computer or software. When the presenter walks across the stage or turns to the whiteboard, the camera keeps up. An auto framing mode fits everyone in view into the shot, and two microphones are built in.
0212× optical zoom
Wide enough for a mid-size room, with zoom to spare.
With 12× optical zoom and a 72.5° horizontal view at the wide end, it handles both the wide shot and the close-up in classrooms and meeting rooms where the camera is 3 to 6 metres from the front.
03HDMI, SDI, USB and network
Ready for meetings, recording and streaming.
HDMI and 3G-SDI feed a switcher or recorder; USB 3.0 connects to a computer for video meetings; the network output supports RTSP, RTMP and SRT for direct streaming. Line In and Line Out bring the room audio along.
04Installation and control
Easy to mount, easy to fit into what you have.
PoE (802.3af) powers it over a single network cable, or use the included DC 12V adaptor. It can be mounted upside down and a ceiling bracket is included. Control it with the remote, RS-232, RS-485, VISCA over IP, ONVIF or a CAVE K10 or K20 keyboard, with up to 255 presets.
05With a recorder
Presenter plus slides: just press record.
A common setup in small classrooms and training rooms: one P12i and the presentation computer go into an NSR-200 recorder. With AI tracking on, no camera operator is needed; press record and get on with the lesson.
