Marshall Electronics, a leading manufacturer of broadcast and proAV cameras and equipment, introduces its USB-based CV605-U3 PTZ Camera with USB-C, IP (Ethernet) and HDMI connectivity.
The CV605-U3 PTZ Camera offers USB-C and IP for video conference, collaboration and streaming. HDMI allows options for HDMI monitoring or switching workflows, and IP (H.265/H.264) provides a one-cable to camera setup and operation. Certified by Zoom, the CV605-U3 is designed to operate seamlessly within a Zoom Room infrastructure. It features a wide-angle 85° AOV and is designed for ultra-low distortion and high-quality video.
The CV605-U3 is suitable for use in USB-C and IP networked HD workflows. This PTZ camera is designed for versatility in video conferences, video collaboration, live streaming, OBS Studio, Zoom and more. In addition, the CV605-U3 operates with low-light sensitivity, for variable and challenging lighting conditions.
The announcement states, "The CV605-U3 5X optical zoom USB-C, HDMI and IP camera utilizes a high performing 2 Megapixel sensor to capture crisp HD video. The CV605-U3 delivers up to 1920x1080p resolution at 60fps. The wide-angle optical zoom lens offers an impressive 85-degree horizontal angle-of-view (wide open) with minimal distortion and ability to reach out to 15mm with additional 12x digital zoom."
CV605-U3 also comes with a Privacy Mode where the camera faces straight down when not in use during video calls, or when users need to break privately before rejoining a video conference.
“Protecting intellectual properties and proprietary information while not in video meetings or during breaks was the driving force behind adding the standby mode for privacy,” says Tod Musgrave, Director of Cameras for Marshall Electronics. “When you add in the crystal-clear video images and multiple connection types, we’ve really redefined the value proposition at a $899 price point.”
The company also announces that more consciously priced models are planned through the rest of 2022.
