With a 1/2.8" Sony CMOS sensor, the BG-BSHAN series provides crystal clear imaging at resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz. The 20x/30x optical zoom lens allows the camera to capture tight close-ups, even at a distance. The BG-BSHAN series features simultaneous 3G-SDI, HDMI, and IP streaming outputs. By utilizing the 3.5mm audio input, audio can be embedded into your livestreams and recordings with ease.
What is NDI and NDI|HX2?
Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices. With a single ethernet cable connection, professionals can merge all stages of production from start to finish. That way, all production tasks and processes will be united, so accomplishing a creative vision will be simple. With the NDI 5.5 tool-kit, users will also be able to connect any audio device as an NDI source with NDI’s Audio Direct tool. This adds audio over IP to NDI’s revolution. NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth, and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a 'cleaner' implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency, and give a more flexible connection that shares all the usual features of NDI.
NDI Toolkit
The NDI toolkit provides a collection of tools and plugins for NDI (Network Device Interface) video and audio streams. It includes tools for monitoring and displaying NDI video sources, sending test patterns for connectivity and calibration, analyzing network performance, routing NDI sources, integrating audio through plugins, facilitating secure remote connections, extending NDI streams beyond local networks, and offering a comprehensive suite for setup, testing, and management of NDI streams in diverse workflows.
Connectivity and Control
The BG-BSHAN series boasts support for a range of streaming protocols and compression formats, including ONVIF, RTSP, RTMP, and SRT. This empowers users with the capability to seamlessly stream content to platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. This array of outputs adds a remarkable level of versatility, making the BG-BSHAN series exceptionally adaptable for integration into diverse workflows. Tailored for deployment in remote settings, the BG-BSHAN series offers operational control through both serial (RS485) and Ethernet interfaces. Accompanied by a user-friendly web interface, a comprehensive suite of image adjustment functionalities is at your fingertips. Compatibility is further enhanced through support for PELCO-D, PELCO-P, VISCA, and IP-VISCA protocols, ensuring seamless integration with compatible joystick controllers.
Enhanced Positioning Flexibility
With its compact design and an array of versatile mounting choices, the BG-BSHAN offers increased flexibility when it comes to configuring and positioning your setup. This guarantees optimal shot capture and seamless adaptation to various streaming scenarios.
