Salrayworks Releases High Bandwidth NDI cameras in the Sharon line, Sharon 20 and Sharon 30
June 10, 2021 by Scott Carroll
Adding to their existing high bandwidth NDI PTZ the Sharon 360, Salrayworks has unveiled two more PTZs in their Sharon line of cameras. These models are more cost effective, while maintaining the same high bandwidth, high bandwidth NDI as the original.
The Sharon 30 has much of the same features as the Sharon 360; 30X Sony Optical Zoom, Sony Exmor R CMOS 12X digital zoom, 3G-SDI / HDMI / high bandwidth NDI / CVBS interface, and Visca RS422 / Visca IP / NDI control. The 360 degree full rotation from the Sharon 360 has been scaled back to a 172 degree pan angle, while the tilt angle remains at 220. In applications where a full 360 degree pan is not needed, this option is ideal for cost saving at an MSRP of $2,499.00. Hardware (Silicon-based) NDI® reaches about 140Mbit at 1080p60. Hardware-based high bandwidth NDI designed by Salrayworks with the latest embedded NDI SDK on Intel FPGA guarantees visually lossless video.
The Sharon 20 integrates the same high bandwidth NDI as the previous two models, but scales back to 20X Korean developed optical zoom. This makes for a much steeper price drop compared to the Sharon 30 model. The Sharon 20 currently sits at an MSRP of $1,999.00.
All models offer ultra fast and responsive auto-focus, PoE ( Power over Ethernet ) requiring just one ethernet cable for simple installation, Smart Flip (If the tilt angle exceeds 90°, this function will rotate the image automatically), Home Positioning Setup so you can program it to the initial position of the camera you would like upon start up. Pattern Recording - This is a function that allows you to save and playback shots according to the camera position and zoom movement using PTZ Controllers or Remote Controllers. There is also a smart-zoom speed function standard in all models that gradually slows the pan & tilt speed the closer you zoom. This is helpful for smoother and easier to control movements as you zoom closer to your subjects.
