Atomos A-Eye 4K-20X PTZ Camera

Precision optics. Seamless IP streaming. Built for the cloud.
The Atomos A-EYE 4K 20x PTZ Camera redefines live production with broadcast-quality imaging, smooth movement, and built-in IP workflows. It’s the intelligent choice for modern streaming, hybrid productions, and remote collaboration.

Powerful 4K Optics with 20x Zoom
Equipped with a 1/2.8 CMOS sensor, the A-EYE captures detailed 4K Ultra HD video at up to 60 frames per second. The 20x optical zoom delivers smooth, responsive transitions from wide shots to tight close-ups, giving creators full framing flexibility without compromising clarity.

NDI® | HX3 and IP-Based Production
With built-in support for NDI®|HX3, the A-EYE delivers high-efficiency, low-latency video over standard Ethernet networks. Additional protocols like RTMP, RTSP, SRT, and VISCA-over-IP ensure broad compatibility with IP production environments, whether local or remote.

Effortless Control and Deployment
The A-EYE can be operated via VISCA or IP-based control systems and integrates with third-party hardware and software controllers. Power over Ethernet++ (PoE++) simplifies installation by delivering power, video, and control over a single cable , ideal for studios, event spaces, churches, and corporate environments.

Who is it for?
The A-EYE 4K 20x PTZ Camera is designed for creators and professionals who need high-quality remote video capture without complexity. From livestreamed performances and church services to multi-camera conferences and hybrid broadcasts, A-EYE delivers exceptional performance in a compact, cloud-ready package.
