PTZOptics Brings Rise 4K and Live Multicamera Production Experiences to IBC2026

Visitors can see the new broadcast camera in action, test control options from joysticks to Horizon software, and experience a compact multicamera studio operating live.

PTZOptics will give IBC2026 visitors a hands-on look at professional video production for teams of every size, with live demonstrations featuring the new Rise 4K Broadcast PTZ Camera, an expanded camera-control Test Drive experience, and a fully operational compact multicamera studio.

From September 11–14 at RAI Amsterdam, visitors to booth 1.B07 can experience how PTZOptics combines high-quality imaging, flexible control, and intelligent software to help production teams capture more angles, automate routine camera tasks, and create polished content with fewer operators.

Broadcast Power. Within Reach.

Following its official announcement in August, the Rise 4K Broadcast PTZ Camera will make its European debut at IBC2026 in a high-quality production demonstration designed to showcase its imaging, movement, and professional broadcast capabilities in action.


Rise marks PTZOptics’ expansion into higher-end broadcast and professional production environments, from sports and regional broadcasting to enterprise studios, universities, houses of worship, and independent production companies. It brings technology once reserved for high-budget broadcast studios within reach of more producers, broadcasters, and production teams.


Rise combines cinematic 4K imaging, professional broadcast connectivity, and intelligent video technology in a platform made accessible to productions of every size. Its 1-inch, 50MP CMOS sensor captures 4K Ultra HD video at 60 fps, while 20x optical zoom, phase-detect autofocus, optical image stabilization, and smooth brushless motors support detailed images and precise, natural camera movement.

Professional workflow features include 12G-SDI, timecode, genlock, FreeD camera-tracking support, SFP+ fiber connectivity, and XLR audio inputs with 48V phantom power. Rise also includes the complete Horizon intelligent video experience, providing intuitive tools for camera control, automation, image adjustment, and management.


IBC visitors will be able to see first-hand how its imaging, connectivity, and intelligent control capabilities come together within a high-quality live production environment.

Experience a Compact Multicamera Studio Operating Live

A working podcast and mobile-production setup will show how small teams can create high-quality multicamera content without a large studio or highly experienced camera crew.

Operating live throughout the show, the demonstration will combine PTZOptics cameras, Power+Link, and intelligent control tools in a practical production workflow. Visitors will see how a limited number of operators can manage multiple camera angles, maintain professional framing, and produce polished podcasts, interviews, livestreams, and branded content.

More than a product display, the setup will provide a practical model for broadcasters, content creators, corporate video teams, universities, and other organizations looking to produce more content with limited space, staff, or production resources.

Explore demonstrations around practical workflow layers:

  • Horizon software expansion — previewing the Horizon Hub desktop app launcher, delivering the same advanced Horizon software features currently available via the web interface for 4K cameras to all PTZOptics cameras, via convenient desktop applications.
  • Interactive auto tracking — showing supervised agentic workflows where operators can direct the camera with natural language prompts leveraging visual reasoning for automation.
  • Voice tracking and audio intelligence — demonstrating how camera movement can be guided by active conversation, with plug and play connectivity with major audio device manufacturers including Audio Technica and Sennheiser.
  • Integrated video control — giving visitors a hands-on look at how PTZOptics camera control supports live production, education, public sector, healthcare and enterprise workflows.

"Modern AV teams are being asked to do more with fewer resources, across more use cases and with higher demands. Our goal is to make intelligent video workflows practical, accessible and scalable. Whether someone is managing a classroom, a boardroom, a live event space or a clinical training environment, we help teams capture, control and connect video more effectively."
