Etere Enhances NDI PTZ Camera Control Inside Newsroom

Etere redefines live news production with a software upgrade of its new Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera control driver. Central to the design of this technology is the flexibility to view multiple sources in real-time, store and retrieve preset profiles directly from the rundown panel, all without additional studio automation hardware.

Etere Nunzio Newsroom delivers new levels of operational and cost efficiencies with the ability to control Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras directly from the rundown. Etere's integrated PTZ camera control enhances your news production value by allowing a better depth of professional video recording from multiple sources and with multiple perspectives from the newsroom studio. The upgrade provides ultra-low latency and manages high speed panning and tilting for the coverage of larger areas.

From the Etere camera control panel, the operator is able to adjust the camera shuttle, gain, zoom, focus and iris controls. With a single ethernet network, you are now able to remotely control multiple PTZ cameras in real-time. The intuitive layout enables a single operator to control a live newsroom. Etere Camera Control supports SDI, IP and NDI connectivity.

In addition to its rich core functionalities, automatic preset controls are also available for a fast and easy setup. With its responsive virtual and USB joystick controls, Etere provides all the features you need to manage a live newsroom and to engage your viewers with the content that matters.
