Today at NAB 2007, AMX® unveiled the industry’s first camera controller with widescreen video preview. The next-generation NXP-PLV Modero PosiTrack Pilot Camera Controller adds Ethernet connectivity and a 7” Modero® Widescreen Touch Panel, making it ideal for any live or recorded broadcast event, including religious services; local, state and federal government proceedings; classroom lectures and complex video conferences. AMX is demonstrating the NXP-PLV in its booth, C11109, April 16 – 19.
Using the graphical interface on the NXP-PLV’s integrated Modero Widescreen Touch Panel, the operator can select cameras, visually track and change their movement, store and recall presets and adjust each camera’s settings. The controller also includes a proportional pan/tilt/zoom joystick and controls for focus, iris and speed. With the right hand on the soft wrist pad, the operator can also intuitively guide the camera and twist the joystick to zoom the lens in and out. Simultaneously, a quick spin of the side-mounted control knobs fine-tunes focus, iris and speed.
The NXP-PLV supports up to six cameras and is an ideal controller for AMX’s Ethernet-based PTE-300 PosiTrack Pan/Tilt Head. It will be available within 90 days.
