Robust, versatile 1/3" Pan and Tilt camera
The XU-81/XU-81W is a versatile, remote control, indoor/outdoor
single 1/3" CMOS camera system, featuring a compact, highly
waterproof and dustproof design which is ideal for challenging
locations and environmental conditions. Applications include:
Outdoor and Indoor Event Broadcasting, Weather POV, Traffic POV,
Outdoor Monitoring, Education and Video Conferences. For outdoor
applications, the XU-81W is equipped with a motorized ND filter and
a wiper unit. An optional washer unit is also available.
High quality HDTV/SDTV video images
A single 1/3-inch CMOS imaging sensor with a 2.1 Megapixel, 20x HD
zoom lens and Auto Focus captures exceptional, high-quality images
in full-HDTV format with excellent colour reproduction.
Optimised for broadcast applications
An optional operation unit (OP-300) is available that enables
smooth pan and tilt movements while zooming using a single pre-set
button on the control panel. This allows for on-air movements
similar to manually-operated cameras. For long distance operation
the camera can also be controlled from a PC using an internet
connection. HD-SDI output delivers beautiful images from a distance
of up to 100m.
Fast, quiet, and precise Pan & Tilt movements
The XU-81/XU-81 W offers a wide angle of rotation (Pan +/- 180° and
Tilt +220° to -40°) and precise 40° per second movement in Standard
Mode. High Speed Mode accelerates movement by 50% to 60° per
second. Operation is very quiet with a noise rating of NC<30 in
Standard Mode, enabling use in areas such as libraries or
conference rooms. An image flipping function automatically flips
images so they are not upside down due to the angle tilt.
Easy to install
Compact and lightweight, the camera weighs only 6.6kg (XU-81) or
7kg (XU-81W) and includes a handle for easy portability. It can be
mounted upright, inverted or suspended from a ceiling for shooting
in all kinds of locations.
Locally switchable output/control
1080i or 720p HD output is available to match existing systems.
Control can also be toggled between RS-232C and RS-422, making the
XU-81/XU-81W extremely adaptable to new and existing multi-camera
environments.
High sensitivity Night Mode
Super-sensitivity Night Mode enables shooting at a brightness level
of just 0.2 lux- ideal for shooting in dark rooms or at night.
Backlight compensation increases the visibility of backlit dark
subjects.
