Professional HD camera

The Lumens VC-BC601P is a professional-level HD box camera. Its 1/2.5″ 8.57MP CMOS sensor produces crystal clear pictures even in very dark conditions. Users have full control over aperture, white balance, and exposure settings to deliver the images and colors your production requires. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) and 3D noise reduction provide superior performance in high contrast environments and where lighting is variable. For customers working in 4K, check out the Lumens VC-BC701P UltraHD model. 

Ideal for AV, Broadcast and Video Workflows

The VC-BC601P outputs video via its Ethernet, HDMI, and 3G-SDI interfaces. This flexibility means that the camera can join IP networks, send video to recorders and encoders, and connect to video switchers and mixing desks. Small and lightweight, VC-BC601P is suitable for use in video studios, lecture capture, houses of worship, conference production, and live sports. 

Triple stream video

Equipped with Lumens’ triple stream technology, the VC-BC601P encodes multiple IP outputs in HEVC and H.264 formats, tailored for your network environment. Technicians can route each stream as appropriate. For example, the high-quality HEVC stream can be routed to in-venue screens and recorders; the high-resolution H264 stream can be viewed by users via a CDN such as YouTube or Facebook. A low bandwidth version enables the team to monitor the camera, locally or remotely. 

Secure Streaming

As well as supporting popular formats such as RTSP, RTMP, and MPEG-TS, VC-B601P generates secure RTMPS and SRT streams. These encrypted outputs are increasingly supported by video delivery networks and decoders, because of the level of privacy and content protection they offer. The inclusion of SRT is ideal for low latency delivery at lower bitrates, giving customers an excellent user experience even over poor Internet connections. 

Power and Control

In addition to its three video outputs, the VC-BC601P is loaded with connectivity to make living with the camera as easy as possible. Ports include audio in and out, RS-232 in and out, and DC power in. Flexibility does not stop there, though. Camera control is via RS-232 or over IP; Camera power is via the DC adapter or PoE (Power over Ethernet).
