NAB 2024: JVC会谈新的PTZ凸轮和12通道vMix工作室切换器

JVC District Sales Manager Alicia Reed discusses key features of JVC's KY-PZ510 and KY-PZ540 PTZ cams--including extra-narrow zoom, super-wide angle, 智能自动追踪，以及JVC的新12通道 vMix Studio Switcher with NDI, SRT, and SDI support in this interview with Streaming Media's Marc Franklin from the JVC booth at NAB 2024.

Marc Franklin: We are now at the JVC booth at NAB 2024. I'm here with Alicia Reed, District Sales Manager at JVC Kenwood, 她将向我们展示JVC今年展示的一些新产品. So what do we have over here, Alicia?

Alicia Reed: 是的，我们正在展示一些新的JVC PTZ相机，它们有一些独特的功能. It's the KY-PZ510 and KY-PZ540. And that allows you to, again, either a 45, 而不是12X, 20X或30X, it's a 40X. So if you need to be far away from your subject, it's really the perfect camera for that. It's in the $2,000 range. 还有一种是超广角的. 通常PT z可能有60或70度的广角. The JVC has an 80 degree, so if you need to be in maybe a podcasting room where a bunch of people are close to the camera, you can see more people. 或者如果你在一个大的空间里，比如演讲厅、曲棍球场或活动场所, you can see a really nice crowd shot here, you can see the zoom on the 40X.

然后我们还有一张广角镜头的图片. And these are made to be used together. So you can put one at the back of the venue, you can put some on the sides with the longer zoom, and you can see it's a much wider view than normal. So it's a very unique feature that JVC has. And these are also both tracking cameras. So if you did want to, 也许你人手不足，或者你只是想让自己的生活更轻松, they can train on a person. 我们有一些先进的固件刚刚出来，你可以把人放在中间, put them on the side, give them more headroom, make it a closer-up shot. You can even make borders; maybe someone's in front of a whiteboard. 当他们在白板前移动时，你可以让相机静止, and that's less distracting than a typical PTZ, which might move around during that action. So there's some great choices. 广角镜头大约3000美元，变焦镜头大约2000美元. And we even have promos: buy three of the wide angle, get one of our controllers free. So we've got a lot of new things at NAB this year.

Marc Franklin: 那么，当你想使用跟踪软件时，它是如何跟踪人们的? 它能识别人脸或衣服吗，或者它是如何工作的?

Alicia Reed: Good question. So there's a variety of styles. JVC uses object tracking of a person, so it's looking for your size, shape, and colors of what you're wearing. 你可以使用手持遥控器，GUI界面或者我们的遥控器. 即使在某些切换器中，你也可以选择主题. 有了我们的新固件，你甚至可以在幕后改变拍摄对象. So if one speaker is finished and you want it to start tracking a second subject, you can do that.

Marc Franklin: Will this work only with JVC cameras or can you mix and match if there's a certain kind of camera that JVC doesn't make and you need something small, super-small, or whatnot?

Alicia Reed: This particular device is the RM-LP100 controller. This is made just for JVC cameras, 但部分原因是我们的相机有SRT, which allows you to use them out of a network. 如果你在新泽西有一台相机而你在NAB拉斯维加斯, you could actually connect that New Jersey camera, not only streaming video to this location, 你也可以用这个设备在其他地方控制它. It's about $2,000. It can control up to 100 cameras. So it's really nice for a JVC ecosystem. 我们去年也推出了一款可以做到你说的这些的产品. 如果你有不同的品牌，想要混合搭配，那就更不可知了. That's called the RM-LP5. 它可以控制5个摄像头，最多可以有5个预设. And the cool thing about that is it's only $300, 但只有当你购买两个或两个以上的JVC相机时才可以使用.

Marc Franklin: 你得买个套餐，对吧?

Alicia Reed: Right, but the other cameras can be other brands. So maybe you have some older cameras you want to continue to use that allows you to do that, which is nice.

Marc Franklin: JVC还有什么我们想要展示的吗?

Alicia Reed: 是的，JVC有一些新的vMix切换器，我可以与您分享. We can go over there and check 'em out.

Marc Franklin: Now we're over at JVC's switchers and Alicia is going to show us a little bit about them and the new features they have this year.

Alicia Reed: So, JVC has partnered with vMix. As you know, in the old days, vMix was a software that you needed to use to build a computer to make a switcher yourself. And JVC got permission to make a switcher using the vMix software to their exact specifications. 它是Ruby或Topaz规范，取决于模型. 这意味着它会精确地按照vMix想要的方式工作. It'll work great with all of your cameras, be they JVC cameras or other brands of cameras. 这个特别的新元素叫做KM-IP12S*. And what that means is it has 12 channels of NDI or SRT and then eight channels of SDI. So up to 20 channels. It's very robust and you can see the size of it. It's got a lot of power and it's even liquid cool. So it'll stay nice and cool and quiet.

And it also has a nice feature if you want to record a lot of the cameras or save some of your footage, 它有能力插入和取出小SSD卡. 所以它有很大的存储空间，它就像一个普通的vMix盒子一样工作. 如果你熟悉它，它就很完整了. You have graphics, you have virtual sets, you have greenscreen, you can stream up to three locations, JVC甚至为切换器提供了这些非常好的可选控制面板. This is the RM-LP350 that has the ability to basically give you a more traditional hardware field to the vMix. And also we have a sports controller. 如果你选择的版本，有八个频道的即时重播在慢动作, this allows you to control the slo-mo and it's perfect for a high school or college that might want to use this, but without the slo-mo, obviously it's great for city council, house of worship, school events.

It's a wonderful solution for not much money. It's in the $11,000 range. A lot of places you'd pay much more. 但有了JVC-vMix组合，这是一个非常好的选择. 这个盒子本身，这个开关大约是11000美元，这取决于你买的是哪种型号. This RM-LP350 controller is $750, and then this unit is around $1,400 for the sports controller. So altogether, it's still very affordable and you can use it with either JVC or other PTZ cameras and also JVC or other handheld cameras. So it's very versatile. You can mix and match.

Marc Franklin: That is it for us at JVC's booth at NAB 2024.
