NAMM 2016 Live Concerts Shot with Datavideo PTC-150 Cameras
By Jim Bask
The Datavideo PTC-150 camera is a robotic pan/tilt/zoom camera, able to pan, tilt, and zoom via remote control with programmable presets. Four PTC-150 cameras were used for all the performances at NAMM 2016. They are operated by the Datavideo RMC-180 remote controller, and one camera operator can control all four cameras via ethernet connection. Presets were created for musicians and stage positions, and the cameras were able to change angles quickly to get the same type of live coverage 6-8 cameras would be able to get in most productions.
