Paired with a low-distortion professional zoom lens, the camera's large (1/1.8") CMOS sensor produces great 4K and HD results. Operating in lighting conditions down to 0.05 lux, the smooth video output makes it an ideal camera for producing sports, theatre, and live events. Its excellent color reproduction and 12G-SDI output mean it's a great choice for productions where image quality is of the highest importance. The VC-A71P integrates with a variety of professional AV, IT, and broadcast workflows. The camera is ready for SDI and HDMI video workflows, IP networks, direct video streaming, and video conferencing via USB 3.0. Each interface will output video simultaneously, creating flexible installation, monitoring, switching, and distribution options. VC-A71P supports the popular FreeD protocol which outputs the camera’s positional data over IP in real time. This enables users to work with state-of-the-art Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality sets without the need for additional sensors. Lumens’ PTZ cameras offer users a high degree of versatility. The VC-A71P can be powered by a dedicated 12v DC adapter, or via POE++, allowing network managers to install devices in any position. Multiple control protocols (Visca, Pelco, Onvif, and UVC) and interfaces (RS-232, RS-422, Ethernet, and USB 3.0) enable cameras to join new or existing networks. Equipped with Lumens' Smart AF algorithm, VC-A71P can intelligently identify human faces and automatically detect the eyes and mouth. This enables the camera to keep the subject in sharp focus all the time. Each camera supports up to 256 presets, allowing users to switch angles and zoom positions, and engage tracking movements at the touch of a button. The advanced Auto Focus, Auto Exposure, and Auto White Balance algorithms automatically deliver consistent images while zooming and panning, or under changing lighting conditions. Together, these advanced functions allow a single operator to manage multiple cameras and produce multi-camera productions without needing a large crew.
