Live Streaming PTZ Camera Shoot Out - SONY, VADDIO, PTZOptics - EP 42

Episode 42 of PTZOptics will feature a live camera shoot-out on YouTube Live. The camera models featured in our comparison will be the SONY SRG-120DH, SONY EVI-H100S, Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-20SE, Vaddio Roboshot 12X-SDI and the PTZOptics 12X and 20X-SDI models. This camera comparison live stream is presented by PTZOptics who promotes "Broadcast Quality Made Affordable" and has announced the name of this episode being "It's all about the Optics"...

As you can see from the video above the cameras featured in this live streaming camera review are the PTZOptics 12X and 20X-SDI-G2, Vaddio RoboShot 12X HD-SDI, SONY SRG-120DH, the SONY EVI-H100S and the Vaddio ClearView HD-20SE. These were chosen as top sellers in the "PTZ camera" category at B&H photo. Each camera is displayed next the comparable PTZOptics live streaming camera. As you can see from the pictures below the video outputs will vary depending on each camera model.

For this review we used traditional HDMI and HD-SDI video output with Magewell frame grabbers capable of 1080p60fps. As you can see from the picture above the only camera not capable of 1080p60fps for our review was the SONY EVI-H100S. The Vaddio RoboShot 12X, Vaddio ClearVIEW HD-20, SONY SRG-120DH and PTZOptics cameras were all set to 1080p60fps. The SONY EVI-H100S was also the only camera we used HD-SDI even though that was an option for both PTZOptics cameras and the Vaddio RoboShot 12X HD-SDI models.

The camera control we elected to use was the RS-232 VISCA joystick which is technically analog. It's extremely easy to daisy chain VISCA cabling with the HC-JOY-G2 PTZ joystick controller. In the presentation we show that a DB9 to 8-pin mini-din cable is used with male to male 8-pin mini-din cascade cables to daisy chain control to each camera. This worked extremely well for the PTZOptics and SONY cameras but did not work with the Vaddio cameras. Vaddio uses a propriatery DB9 to CAT cable system which does not include the ability to daisy chain control. We thought we might be able to use the VISCA out port on the SONY or PTZOptics cameras and use the provided DB9 to CAT control cable but it did not work. There may be a custom cable made to facilitate this but we did not have time to create it before the show which was live streamed on 10/14/2016.

This guide is a comprehensive overview for users tuning cameras for conference spaces, production studios, live sports and even performances with low light. Tuning your camera for a proper exposure is key to effective live streaming because in many cases there is no post production.
