Product Description
The Atomos A-Eye 4K-20X PTZ Camera with 20x Optical Zoom is a flagship PTZ camera that combines cutting-edge technology with an intuitive design, ideal for a wide range of professional applications, including live streaming, events, education, corporate conferencing, and multi-camera productions. Designed to eliminate the need for a dedicated operator, this camera integrates a real-time AI tracking system that follows subjects with smooth and precise movements, ensuring perfect framing in every situation, whether it's a live concert, a classroom lesson or a corporate presentation.

At the heart of the A-Eye 4K-20X is its 1/1.8-inch UHD CMOS sensor with up to 8.42 million pixels, capable of capturing 4K60 and 1080p60 videos, offering extraordinary visual quality with sharp details and vivid colors. The camera supports a range of resolutions via multiple outputs, including HDMI, 3G-SDI, USB 2.0, and IP, making it compatible with a wide variety of devices and workflows, from Atomos monitors like Ninja and Shogun to streaming software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Skype. The built-in NDI|HX3 license enables low-latency, high-quality streaming over IP networks, ideal for professional productions that require smooth, reliable transmission.

The standout feature of the A-Eye 4K-20X is its 20x optical zoom, paired with a 16x digital zoom, allowing you to quickly switch from wide shots to detailed close-ups without losing quality. This makes it perfect for large venues, such as theaters, auditoriums, or houses of worship, where you need to capture subjects at varying distances. The advanced PTZ system offers pan movement of ±170° and tilt from -30° to +90°, ensuring complete coverage of the shooting area with smooth and silent movements, essential for not disturbing live events or presentations.

The AI auto-tracking technology is designed to follow moving subjects without manual intervention, making the A-Eye 4K-20X ideal for applications such as university lectures, sporting events, vlogs or religious services, where an operator is not available. The camera also supports video compression in H.265, H.264 and MJPEG formats, optimizing quality and bandwidth for streaming on platforms such as RTSP, RTMP and ONVIF. Additionally, the ability to record directly to a hard drive via the USB-A output adds further flexibility for creators looking to archive footage for post-production.

Audio is handled via a built-in microphone and a 3.5mm stereo input/output, allowing you to incorporate external audio sources for professional sound quality. The camera supports remote control via RS-485, UVC, and IP VISCA, allowing precise management of PTZ functions and settings via dedicated controllers or third-party software. Power is equally versatile, with support for DC and PoE+ (Power over Ethernet), which allows the camera to be powered, transmitted video, and controlled over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation in complex environments.

The A-Eye 4K-20X's rugged, compact design, along with built-in tally lights, makes it ideal for multi-camera productions where synchronization between multiple devices is essential. The camera integrates seamlessly with the Atomos ecosystem and third-party PTZ systems, offering a scalable solution for projects of any size. The possibility of pre-ordering the camera, with shipments expected for June 2025, makes it a strategic investment for those looking for a cutting-edge solution for the future of video production.
