Live and Remote Production
Featuring HDMI and 3G-SDI outputs, the VC-A51PN can seamlessly fit into almost any AV, broadcast, or IP workflow. Utilizing NDI®|HX, the VC-A51PN enables video production and distribution over standard Ethernet networks. With NDI NDI®|HX, VC-A51PN can instantly join the live production environment and bridge the remote film crews.
Versatile Network Distribution
The VC-A51PN produces a high quality, low latency NDI®|HX video stream. It also supports multiple streaming protocols including RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, and SRT for distribution across networks and transmission to remote audiences. No additional hardware and software are required to stream directly to live streaming platforms such as YouTube and Facebook Live.


Excellent Low-Light Performance
The VC-A51PN features a high sensitivity 1/2.8″ 2.16 MP Sony CMOS sensor. Thanks to its superb WDR (wide dynamic range), 3D noise reduction, advanced auto-focus, and auto-white balance algorithms, the camera produces crisp and clear video even in dimly lit environments.
Fast, Smooth & Quiet PTZ Movement
The VC-A51PN’s robotic mechanism allows the camera to pan -170° to +170° and tilt from -30° to +90° in a rapid, smooth and quiet movement at up to 300° a second. The operator can use a hardware controller or NDI Tools to remotely control the speed and direction of motion for professional results.
