Robust PTZ Control for Pro-level Production Spaces

Manage, mix, and master the output of your current camera setup with PTZOptics' PT-JOY-G4 IP Joystick Controller from Sweetwater. Leveraging the power of serial and IP protocol connectivity, the PT-JOY-G4 is a perfect legacy-friendly video controller companion for studio productions, event spaces, houses of worship, and many other video performance scenarios. Contemporary enhancements, including complete VISCA control, fine-tuned focus control, customizable joystick controls, an easily viewable LCD, and a package of necessary exposure, balance, and color gain controls service exceptional control over a squad of cams in a multitude of potential spaces, with more than enough authority over the output for cohesive, professional-quality visuals. Included with its required 12V 2A DC international power supply and 8-foot connectivity cable, integrating the PT-JOY-G4 into your rig is impressively simple from the start.

IP and Serial control streamlines production setups

Simple connectivity via serial and IP protocol-compatible PTZ cameras grants the PT-JOY-G4 the ability to integrate into a number of possible video production scenarios. Likewise, commanding a single button press to swap between protocols makes quick camera changes a breeze, with up to 253 maximum cameras via network and seven cameras via serial VISCA available for control, all at a moment's notice. Packed with an updated version of PTZOptic's onboard web user interface, importing and exporting settings, managing address connections, and assigning controllers is a simple task to accomplish before kickstarting your next production.

Expansive fine-tuning for ultimate output personalization

When working with multiple cameras or in a professional production space, consistency is critical. Thanks to the PT-JOY-G4's onboard fine-tune focus control, focus lock and unlock features, and a bounty of front-panel parameter controls, maximizing the quality of your output while matching current production standards is a cinch. The joystick features additional access to direct exposure, white balance, red and blue gain controls, and much more for homing in on the best possible video scheme in any situation. Plus, it's all available to view directly via the PT-JOY-G4's built-in large-screen LCD for immediate reference of your current output.
