Lumens launches VC-R30 HD IP PTZ Camera

By Adam Hull | Business Manager, Holdan

The all-round PTZ camera for video production, streaming, conferencing, and capture.

The VC-R30 marks the arrival of a new generation of cost-effective cameras which offer a level of image quality and connectivity that have not previously been seen at this price point. Lumens VC-R30 features simultaneous USB 3.0, HDMI, 3G-SDI, and Ethernet video outputs for a high degree of workflow flexibility and is ideal for AV, video production, and live events.

The VC-R30 fits into traditional video workflows, IP-based streaming networks and unified communication and collaboration (UCC) systems for interactive video comms. To meet the growing demand for hybrid classrooms, meeting spaces and conferences, VC-R30 supports simultaneous output via Ethernet, USB, SDI, and HDMI for connection to local displays and remote guests at the same time.

Equipped with a professional 1/2.8 inch image sensor, the VC-R30 provides excellent image quality in all lighting conditions. The smooth robotic camera movement and 12x optical zoom lens make the camera suitable for positioning anywhere from an auditorium to a small training room. The intelligent autofocus system enables the VC-R30 to deliver sharp pictures even when the camera is in motion or when the zoom angle changes.

Covering a wide 72.5° horizontal FoV and with plug and play USB, the camera is a great option for video conferencing, and it’s compliant with most streaming applications, including Zoom, Skype, WebEx, Teams, Google Meet, Wowza, YouTube, OBS and Wirecast. Available in black or white, it can be positioned upright or inverted to suit your studio, theatre, classroom, courtroom, or house of worship.
