PTZOptics (stand 1.B07) will demonstrate its Rise 4K broadcast PTZ camera, multicamera production workflows and camera control options at IBC2026.
The Rise 4K broadcast PTZ camera will be shown at IBC for the first time since its launch. PTZOptics will also demonstrate its Test Drive control experience and operate a compact multicamera studio throughout the show.
The Rise 4K is available to order and is scheduled to begin shipping in Q4 2026.
“At IBC, we want to show people what happens when imaging, robotics, connectivity, and software are designed as one integrated production experience,” said Matthew Davis, CTO, PTZOptics. “Teams shouldn’t have to change how they work to get broadcast-grade results. Rise 4K is the clearest example of that, and across our stand at IBC2026 we’re showing how we are applying the same thinking to control, automation and scale.”
The Rise 4K is designed for broadcast and professional production applications and combines 4K imaging, professional connectivity, robotic movement and camera control. It features a 1-inch, 50MP CMOS sensor capable of capturing 4K Ultra HD at up to 60fps, along with 20x optical zoom, phase-detect autofocus, optical image stabilisation and brushless motors.
Broadcast workflow features include 12G-SDI, timecode, genlock, FreeD camera-tracking support, SFP+ fibre connectivity and XLR audio inputs with 48V phantom power. The camera also includes Horizon Web, a browser-based control interface providing camera control, image adjustment, presets, tracking, auto-framing and automation.
PTZOptics will operate a compact multicamera studio throughout IBC2026 to demonstrate production workflows for podcasts, interviews, livestreams and branded content.
The setup will combine PTZOptics cameras, Power+Link and camera control tools in a working production environment. The demonstrations will show how multiple camera angles can be managed, framing maintained and multicamera content produced using the system.
The demonstrations are aimed at broadcasters, corporate video teams, universities, creators and other organisations working with limited space or production resources.
The PTZOptics Test Drive will allow visitors to compare different methods of operating robotic cameras.
Visitors will be able to use traditional joystick control alongside Horizon Web, the browser-based interface built into PTZOptics 4K cameras. Horizon Web provides access to camera movement, image adjustment, presets, tracking, auto-framing and automation. Visitors can also explore Horizon Hub desktop applications for software-based camera control and workflow tools across the PTZOptics portfolio.
“IBC gives us the opportunity to move beyond specifications and let people experience complete workflows for themselves,” said Silke Brown, director of international sales, PTZOptics. “Rise 4K is an important part of our IBC story, but we also want visitors to see the bigger picture. Whether they prefer a joystick, software control, automation, or a combination of all three, our focus is on making professional production more practical and flexible.”
