ACTi CTS-RL500-4K20+TAF VHD-VX752A PTZ Camera with USB3.0 & HDMI Output
When you need a PTZ camera that integrates directly with video production systems, conferencing platforms, or broadcast equipment without network infrastructure, USB and HDMI connectivity becomes essential. The ACTi CTS-RL500-4K20+TAF delivers 4K imaging with simultaneous USB 3.0 and HDMI outputs, enabling direct connection to capture cards, switchers, or computers for applications where IP streaming isn't the primary delivery method. This makes it suitable for lecture capture, corporate video production, house of worship streaming, and hybrid meeting spaces where you need professional pan-tilt-zoom control with direct video feeds.
Key Features
- 4K ultra HD resolution for detailed image capture in professional video applications
- 20x optical zoom provides flexible framing from distance without approaching subjects
- Simultaneous USB 3.0 and HDMI outputs allow connection to multiple devices or redundant feeds
- USB 3.0 interface enables plug-and-play operation with standard video conferencing and capture software
- HDMI output supports direct connection to monitors, switchers, and broadcast equipment
- PTZ control via standard protocols for integration with production controllers and automation systems
- Low-light performance suitable for venues with variable or theatrical lighting conditions
- Motorized pan, tilt, and zoom with preset position recall for repeatable shot composition
The dual-output architecture solves a common deployment challenge: delivering the same camera feed to both a computer-based encoder for streaming and a hardware switcher for program output. You avoid the complexity and latency of IP network routing while maintaining professional video quality. The USB 3.0 connection appears as a standard webcam to most software platforms, simplifying integration with Zoom, Teams, OBS, vMix, and other production tools without driver complications or compatibility issues.
The 20x optical zoom range covers wide establishing shots and tight presenter close-ups from a single mounting position, reducing camera count in multi-purpose spaces. PTZ preset storage enables rapid switching between programmed shots for different event formats or presenters. For integrators deploying hybrid meeting rooms, training facilities, or streaming studios where direct video connectivity outweighs network camera advantages, this unit provides the interface flexibility and image quality those environments demand without forcing everything through an IP infrastructure.
