Before purchasing, please read and agree to the following terms and notices in detail:
- The company reserves the right to modify the product specifications or related information mentioned above.
- Any modifications or changes to the product specifications or related information mentioned above will be made without prior notice.
- If there are changes to the appearance of the hardware equipment, we reserve the right not to notify, provided that the function and performance are not affected.
Microphone:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera has a built-in audio input, and the terminal port is an international standard dual-channel 3.5mm linear input terminal.
- You can use the teaching broadcast audio system to output sound to the iCam® Max 4K Camera, such as: MIPRO® or CHIAYO® , etc.
- You can use wireless microphones for audio capture, such as: RODE® Wireless Me , RODE® Wireless GO II Single , DJI® Mic 2 , or SONY® UWP-D11 , etc.
- If the lecturer does not wish to hold or wear a microphone, you can install an omnidirectional microphone. Please contact BlueEyes Technology for purchase. For installation precautions, please refer to Microphone Installation Principles .
- When using musical instruments, it is recommended to use professional instrument recording equipment to achieve the best sound quality, such as: JTS® , etc.
- When recording multiple audio sources, it is recommended to use a mixer for better results and easier balance adjustment.
- The quality of sound transmission depends on the quality of cables and terminals. It is recommended to use high-quality, interference-resistant isolated machine materials and terminals. If you find noise, electric current sound, or low-frequency sound when using, it is mostly caused by cables and connection terminals.
HDMI Output:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera has a built-in HDMI output, which can output high-definition images and sound through HDMI.
- The HDMI format is 1080P@30fps.
- The quality of HDMI transmission depends on the quality of cables and terminals. It is recommended to use high-quality, interference-resistant isolated machine materials and terminals. If you find noise, electric current sound, or low-frequency sound when using, it is mostly caused by cables and connection terminals.
3G-SDI Output:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera has a built-in 3G-SDI output, which can output high-definition images and sound through 3G-SDI.
- 3G-SDI has a maximum transmission speed of 2.97Gb/s and supports up to 1080P resolution.
- SDI (Serial Digital Interface) is a technology that transmits images and audio simultaneously over a single cable. It has the same purpose as the commonly used HDMI but is more reliable and stable, making it more suitable for professional videographers. It is also the most commonly used cable among today's professional videographers.
- SDI can transmit images and audio over longer distances. Generally, HDMI can only be used within 30 meters. If long-distance transmission is needed, signal boosters or extenders are required. SDI can transmit up to 100 meters at 1080 60p. Moreover, common SDI cables use BNC connectors with safety lock functions to prevent accidental disconnection or poor contact during long-distance transmission.
USB Output:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera has a built-in USB 3.0 output, which can output high-definition images through USB.
- The length of the USB cable is recommended to be within 5 meters. If it exceeds, please use a USB 3.0 active (Type-A male to Type-B male) extension cable. Click here to find available cables .
- It is recommended to use a single USB cable without connecting multiple cables together. If your computer shows a notification that the hardware device cannot be recognized, it means that the transmission quality and compatibility of your USB cable are poor. It is recommended to replace it with a higher-quality USB cable.
- The quality of USB transmission depends on the quality of cables and terminals. It is recommended to use high-quality, interference-resistant isolated machine materials and terminals. If you find that USB cannot be detected when using, it is mostly caused by cables and connection terminals.
- For laptops or desktops connected via USB, it is recommended to use the latest Microsoft Windows 11 operating system to avoid driver compatibility issues.
- Please use the built-in microphone or external microphone for laptops or desktops. If there is a broadcasting audio system on-site, please connect the amplifier or mixer audio output (Line out) or recording output (Rec out) to the audio input (Line in) of the laptop or desktop.
Control Communication Protocols:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera supports multiple communication protocols such as VISCA, PELCO D/P, and ONVIF.
- VISCA is a protocol defined by SONY®. Manufacturers can develop hardware and software to control the image system via RS232. VISCA allows control of multiple cameras.
- PELCO® is a monitoring camera manufacturer in the United States. Due to its early leadership in the surveillance field, the PELCO transmission control protocol is widely used in the market and can be controlled by other devices such as computers or joysticks (RS485).
- ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global open forum jointly established by Axis®, Bosch®, and Sony®. It is an important international standard in the current surveillance industry, aiming to promote the integration of network video surveillance equipment of different brands and help manufacturers, software developers, and independent software vendors ensure interoperability between products.
Live Streaming Meetings:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera can use a USB cable to connect to a computer for Zoom®/Google Meet®/Microsoft Teams®/Webex® live streaming meetings.
- Before conducting a live streaming meeting, please confirm that the resolution or image quality settings of the meeting software are set to HD or above 720P. Click here to learn how to set live streaming meetings to high definition.
Audio and Video Compression Formats:
- The iCam® 4K PTZ Camera has built-in H.264 and H.265 audio and video compression, which can be switched arbitrarily.
- When using H.265 compression, the recorded video can be edited using our company's Montage® Software (version 2.22.7.12 or above) or iFS® Software (version 2.22.7.12 or above), but cannot be edited using commercial post-production software. If post-production is required, it is recommended to use the H.264 compression format or convert the H.265 video to H.264.
Network:
- The network terminal socket is RJ-45.
- The network speed is 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.
- It is recommended to use Cat.5 network cables with crosstalk and noise protection.
- It is recommended to use a network switch with 16 ports or more, such as: TP-LINK® TL-SG1016D .
Network Architecture Principles:
- All devices are connected to a single network switch.
- Regardless of the scale, at least a 16-port or 24-port network switch should be used.
- If there are fewer than 24 network cables, a general unmanaged network switch can be used.
- If there are more than 24 network cables, use a managed network switch.
- If you need to connect two 24-port switches in series, remember to use a network switch with stacking (trunk) function.
Reminders:
- Because the iCam® 4K PTZ uses the latest Giga bidirectional protocol network chip, it requires a high-end managed network switch to be used in conjunction. If you are using a general network switch or hub, it is recommended that you first cut off the 8th pin (brown) in the RJ-45 connector of the network cable to avoid instantaneous network disconnection issues.
- When using USB and network image output simultaneously, such as when SES® host recording and USB live streaming are performed at the same time, if there is screen delay or stuttering, please first disable the image output function (turn off HDMI image output).
