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.
