Professional 4K PTZ Camera with 12X Optical Zoom

The Link 4K 12X delivers professional 4K video at up to 60 fps with a 12X optical zoom. Its wide field of view provides flexible coverage for classrooms, conference rooms, studios, and other small to medium-sized spaces.

At the same time, the 12X optical zoom provides the reach needed to capture presenters and subjects clearly from a distance. As a result, the Link 4K 12X can adapt to a variety of camera positions and room layouts.

Native Dante AV-H Connectivity

The Link 4K 12X brings professional video into Dante-based AV environments with native Dante AV-H connectivity. This allows video to work within established Dante networks for streamlined discovery, routing, synchronization, configuration, and device management.

Therefore, organizations using Dante for professional AV can add networked video while maintaining a familiar workflow.

Presenter-Lock™ Auto-Tracking

Built-in Presenter-Lock™ auto-tracking automatically keeps designated subjects framed, reducing the need for constant manual camera operation. The Link 4K 12X supports tracking distances up to 202 feet, making it well suited for classrooms, conference spaces, studios, and presentations.

With automated framing, smaller production teams can maintain consistent video while reducing operator demands.

Horizon Camera Control and Automation

Every Link 4K includes Horizon camera control and automation as standard. The browser-based interface provides intuitive control over camera movement, visual presets, tracking automation, and image adjustments.

Consequently, operators can manage camera functions from a convenient web interface without requiring additional control software.

NDI HX3, SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP Streaming

The Link 4K 12X provides a broad selection of professional video connections, including native NDI® HX3, SDI, HDMI, USB, and IP streaming.

This flexible connectivity allows the camera to fit into existing production systems, streaming workflows, conferencing environments, and network-based Pro AV installations.

Flexible Deployment for Pro AV and Production

The Link 4K 12X is designed to support changing production and AV requirements. PoE+, multiple video outputs, network connectivity, and flexible control options simplify deployment while providing room to expand your workflow.

Whether used as an NDI camera, Dante AV-H video source, streaming camera, or traditional SDI/HDMI PTZ camera, the Link 4K 12X provides multiple ways to build a professional video system.

More Production with Fewer Operators

By combining automated tracking, 4K60 video, flexible connectivity, and Horizon control, the Link 4K 12X helps smaller teams produce consistent professional video with less hands-on camera operation.

This makes it a practical choice for organizations that need reliable video production without adding unnecessary technical complexity.
