Keeping in touch by video conferencing is an accepted, and many times preferred means of communication in this technological age. It can decrease costly travel expenses, and increase the ability to reach multiple people, anywhere, any time. This low cost, adaptable type of long-distance communication has made considerable inroads in business, education, medicine, and media, and is only scratching the surface of its usefulness.

Utilizing this form of interaction requires a professional high definition video conferencing camera with multiple features.

A recent addition to the HD video conferencing arena, the new AVP-USB 3.0 Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) color camera excels in uniting people with people, and for a cost lower than you would think. This High Definition (HD) USB 3.0 plug and play camera has DVI (Digital Visual Interface) streaming output, and outstanding PTZ functionality (Pan Rotation of ±1750, and a Tilt Rotation of -300 ~ +900). Utilizing its two megapixels, high-quality CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor, high definition video is yours.

The AVP-USB 3.0 robotic camera is equipped with a high-performance lens and 12X optical zoom, plus a wide shooting range capability of 6.3 degrees (far) and 70 degrees (near) view angles, so every area can be seen easily. Thanks to its low noise sensor, it is able to make soundless and smooth transitions between the 128 preset PTZ positions - and it will retain those presets even when the camera is turned off! Automatic and manual capabilities for focus, iris, electronic shutter, and white balance, it also has an open/close backlight control. Even in remote or uncommon locations with minimal light (1.0 Lux), images are well-defined and clear. It is able to support the 1080P format with 60, 50, 30, 25 frames per second, or a 720P format with 60, 50, 30, 25 frames per second to meet diverse project requirements. Adaptable in its installation, it can sit on a desk, or be mounted upside down (ceiling mounted), for additional versatility, and it only weighs 6 pounds!

With the multi-function IR wireless remote controller, all PTZ control functions and camera settings can be accomplished remotely and at high communication speeds by using an RS-232C interface. Easy to control with its OSD (On Screen Display), the camera can be controlled by either a serial command or a remote controller. The AVP-USB 3.0 video conference camera is perfectly matched for applications in medical monitoring, telepresence, distance learning, and courtrooms.
