PTZOptics brings MIDI control to PTZ cameras
In a joint project, PTZOptics and the MIDI Association are bringing fully configurable MIDI control to PTZOptics’ line of robotic cameras. Starting with the manufacturer’s 12X-NDI and SDI cameras, PTZOptics has rolled out direct MIDI control to its current camera line via a free firmware update. Users can map camera commands including setting presets, call, pan, tilt, zoom in, zoom out, speed up and slow down to available keys on any MIDI device. Once configured, the MIDI controller can steer and control the PTZ camera from anywhere in the world via the web MIDI API.
Owners of current PTZ 12X cameras can unlock MIDI control immediately by downloading and installing the latest camera firmware from the PTZOptics website. MIDI control will roll out to all current-generation PTZOptics PTZ cameras by the end of 2022.
