Product Overview
The HBT-50, an HDBaseT 4-channel receiver, is a critical part of a live production chain as it powers the connected PTZ cameras using PoE, delivers video and audio over an Ethernet cable, and acts as an RS-232/422 interface between the connected PTZ cameras and the camera controller to allow configuration of camera parameters such as iris, focus, presets, etc. from a remote location.
The HBT-50 sends camera images to devices such as streaming servers or video switchers via SDI and HDMI interfaces (up to 1080p60). With the HBT-50, you can easily integrate the camera controller, the video switcher, ISO recorders, etc. into your video production system.
Features
- Allows remote control of camera functions via RS-232 or RS-422.
- Connects up to 4 cameras
- Simultaneous SDI and HDMI outputs. – Highest video resolution supported is 1080p50/60
- Power over Ethernet
- HDBaseT transmission distance of up to 100m@1080p50/59.94/60 over Cat.6 cables

be established while the HBT-50 is still
booting. It is recommended to power ON the
HBT-50 first then after approximately 20
seconds, connect the HDBaseT OUT port of
the PTC-150T to the HDBaseT IN port of the
