Feature Details

SRT or RTMP Streaming [HD and 4K]

From the settings page of the smartPTZ app, select SRT or RTMP, enter the server URL and port or stream key, and choose a resolution and bitrate from 720p up to 4K. Tested thoroughly with vMix. With PRO, these settings can be changed from the browser.

Local Recording [HD and 4K]

From the settings page, choose a recording size of 720p, 1080p or 4K at 30 fps. Recordings go to the iPhone Photos Library, space permitting. With PRO, the size can be changed and recording started and stopped from the browser.

Optical Lens Exposure Control

From the home screen of the smartPTZ app, users can control the camera's exposure. Exposure can be stepped up and down from the default “0” by +/-2.

White Balance (temp and tint) Control

From the home screen, users can control white balance (manual/auto) and tint. White balance ranges from 3000–6000K in increments of 100. Tint adjusts +/-150.

Browser and BitFocus Companion Control

Control every app feature from the browser control room at www.smartPTZ.com or through the smartPTZ API, fully compatible with BitFocus Companion and the Elgato Stream Deck.

Remote PTZ Camera Controls

Once connected to a mount, the smartPTZ camera can be panned, tilted and zoomed from the browser control room or the API. Movement sensitivity can also be adjusted.

Remote Control of Color Settings

Exposure, white balance and tint can be adjusted from the browser control room while the camera is live, so an operator can match cameras without touching the phone.

Remote Control Stream and Record Settings

Start and stop the stream and the recording, and change the protocol, server, resolution and bitrate, from the browser control room or the API.

4 Manual PTZ Presets

Once connected to a mount, PTZ presets can be defined and recalled via the browser control room or the API.

AI Subject Tracking

Three tracking modes. Frame keeps a presenter framed at a seat or lectern using the mount and auto-zoom, and waits for the next person when they leave. Follow tracks one person as a virtual PTZ on the ultra-wide lens, with the mount optional. Game (beta) follows the play on a court or field. Settings mirror between the phone and the control room.
