The Ikan OTTICA-4K-30X delivers professional-grade performance with its 30x optical zoom and 4K resolution at 60fps, ensuring exceptional image clarity and detail. It features NDI|HX3 along with many other AVoIP modes for flexible, high-quality video transmission tailored to your workflow. With AI-powered tracking, the camera intelligently identifies and follows subjects, ensuring seamless focus during dynamic scenarios. The Blackout Mode allows users to turn off the indicator light, making it ideal for teleprompter use by reducing glare and distractions for the presenter. Additionally, the camera offers advanced control options, including an IP address selector via IR remote and compatibility with both analog and IP control protocols for seamless integration into almost any system. This 4K OTTICA camera also includes a Tally Light that can be configured to work with NDI or HTTP API.
NDI Integration
The OTTICA-4K-30X supports the NDI|HX3 protocol, ensuring efficient bandwidth usage, ideal for constrained networks or remote workflows. Leveraging the advanced compression of NDI HX3, this PTZ camera delivers 4K video with ultra-low latency. Furthermore, the integrated tally light utilizes NDI signals to automatically illuminate in red for on-air status or green for preview, providing intuitive visual cues to talent and operators directly through the network without requiring additional cabling or dedicated tally systems. This enhances production efficiency by allowing the camera to receive tally notifications from compatible NDI switchers or software, ensuring smooth multi-camera operations in live broadcasts or streaming environments.
Image Quality
The 1/1.8" CMOS sensor with 8.42 million effective pixels captures 1080p Full HD video. The ISP processing algorithm provides precise white balance and exposure control, delivering accurate color reproduction across varied lighting conditions. Additionally, NDI HX3 enables flexible remote control and monitoring, allowing operators to adjust the camera's 30x optical zoom, ±170° pan, and -30° to +90° tilt via IP-based workflows, enhancing efficiency in multi-camera setups. The autofocus system delivers quick and precise focus adjustments.
Blackout Mode
The OTTlCA-4K-30X features the ability to disable both the indicator light & tally light via the Web GUI. This functionality is particularly beneficial when the camera is used inside a teleprompter, as turning off the lights minimizes unwanted reflections and glare inside the teleprompter glass. This feature also benefits the presenter by allowing them to concentrate more effectively on reading the teleprompter script without any interference or distraction from the indicator light shining from inside the teleprompter hood.
