Free-D camera selection

Free-D camera selection :

The Free-D protocol is commonly used for camera tracking with Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) cameras. It provides 8 axes of data, including information about the camera’s transform position, rotation, and lens. While FreeD is an older protocol, it remains a cost-effective way to add tracking data to projects.

Here are some specific PTZ cameras that support the Free-D protocol

These cameras offer a range of capabilities for different production scenarios. Whether you need precise control, high-quality imagery, or seamless streaming!
