SKAARHOJ PTZ View PTZ camera controller with colour screens

SKAARHOJ PTZ View

SKAARHOJ PTZ View is a modular, compact PTZ camera controller with SKAARHOJ colour OLED screens, a high-end Hall Effect joystick as standard and customisable buttons and encoders. It is compatible with virtually any PTZ camera on the market and suits corporate, AV, live production and broadcast applications.

Its row of camera preset buttons each has a colour screen showing a snapshot of the preset: press a button and the controller grabs, stores and displays a frame from the camera or multiviewer, for quick and reliable recall. A dedicated row of four-way camera selector buttons with OLED screens and a row of four encoders for camera settings, shading and exposure complete the panel.

PTZ View works out of the box thanks to preconfigured settings covering virtually every PTZ camera model, and every button and encoder can be reassigned in the web interface. Magnetic sides allow it to be combined with other SKAARHOJ products and expanded with sidecar modules such as Frame Shot Plus or Frame Shot Pro; in Mega Panel setups it can also be used as a DVE controller.
