Lumens Extends its Partnership with Extron to Deliver Advanced AV Control
Lumens has announced an important development in its partnership with Extron with the certification of its VC-TR40 and VC-A71P-HN PTZ cameras for the IP Link Pro Control range of processors.
The new Control System drivers enable the cameras to be fully integrated with Global Configurator Plus and Global Configurator Professional for use with Extron TouchLink Pro touchpanels, eBUS® button panels, and Network Button Panels.
Lumens VC-TR40 and VC-A71P-HN PTZ cameras deliver excellent performance with advanced functionality. Both cameras include baseband (SDI and HDMI), USB and IP video output, with support for RTSP, SRT and RTMPS streaming. VC-A71P-HN is a broadcast-quality 4K model that adds NDI and NDI®|HX3 to its feature set while VC-TR40 is a new generation auto-tracking camera, powered by artificial intelligence.
PTZ cameras are increasingly being adopted as part of AV installations, with organizations of all sizes adding cameras to board rooms, meeting spaces, conference rooms and event areas. By integrating units with Extron IP Link Pro Control, users can easily interface with each camera, while administrators benefit from secure, remote administration and control.
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Extron, which has been very successful over many years. This new integration ensures that Extron users benefit from the latest innovations in camera technology, including automated production, IP video networking and support for professional color spaces.” Commented Steven Liang, VP of Product Development at Lumens.
Control System Drivers can be downloaded from the Extron website, and both models are now shipping and are available from Corsair Solutions.
