The focus and zoom dials are spring-loaded and variable, which is just a brilliant design move. I don’t think I have seen that in other controllers, but the spring-loaded dials give the dials a great feel. The resistance makes using the dials intuitive, and ups the tactile feedback the control provides to the user. They also help smooth out the zoom and focus moves, which tend to look robotic on many PTZs.

The controller works with many different protocols such as NDI, VISCA, VISCA-over-IP, Pelco-P, and Pelco-D protocols over IP and serial RS-232, and RS-422. The SuperJoy Controller can control many different brands of cameras, as well, including HuddleCamHD, Sony, PTZOptics, BirdDog, and NewTek, or combinations thereof. While the brand list is impressive, the controller can control up to 28 cameras (four groups of seven), and you can import and export configurations using IP or via the USB port.

To sum up, using the SuperJoy PTZ controller was … again, a super joy. With a street price of $899, there is a lot of bang for the buck on this controller, especially if you have PTZs from multiple manufacturers. I liked the feel and the aesthetics, and the constant feedback from the controller makes using it fun. I think it is fantastic for volunteers, as well, because in my experience, when they are having fun, they perform at their best. So if you are looking for a PTZ controller that sets your volunteers up to succeed, I strongly recommend the PTZOptics SuperJoy PTZ controller.
