KBD-PLUS - Overview

More Than a PTZ Controller

Introducing the Bolin KBD-PLUS PTZ Controller. Decode up to four IP video streams simultaneously with low latency for real-time monitoring and control. View multiple camera feeds in a single multiview layout for convenient monitoring while controlling cameras. HDMI 2.0 output displays decoded camera feeds on external monitors in single-view or multiview layouts. USB-C output supports UVC, allowing decoded video to appear as a webcam in software applications.
