The BG-B20SHAN/BG-B30SHAN 20X/30X optical zoom IP-streaming camera utilizes a high-quality CMOS sensor to deliver crisp HD video signals. Its compact design provides versatile placement options and ease-of-use in a sleek low-profile housing. This camera is well-suited for a wide variety of broadcast and professional A/V applications including lecture streaming, education, room monitoring, studios, and more.

With a 1/2.8” Sony CMOS sensor, the BG-BSHAN series provides crystal clear imaging at resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz. The 20X/30X optical zoom lens allows the camera to capture tight close-ups, even at a distance.

The BG-BSHAN series features simultaneous 3G-SDI, HDMI, and IP streaming outputs. By utilizing the 3.5mm audio input, audio can be embedded into your livestreams and recordings with ease.

What is NDI and NDI|HX2?

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices. With a single ethernet cable connection, professionals can merge all stages of production from start to finish. That way, all production tasks and processes will be united, so accomplishing a creative vision will be simple. With the NDI 5.5 tool-kit, users will also be able to connect any audio device as an NDI source with NDI’s Audio Direct tool. This adds audio over IP to NDI’s revolution.

NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a 'cleaner' implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency and give a more flexible connection which shares all the usual features of NDI.

Connectivity and Control

The BG-BSHAN series supports multiple streaming protocols and compression formats including ONVIF, RTSP, RTMP, and SRT. This enables users to stream the output directly to sites like Facebook and YouTube. The combination of outputs provides a high degree of versatility, allowing the BG-BSHAN series to be easily integrated into most workflows.

Designed for installation in remote locations, the BG-BSHAN series can be operated via or serial (RS485) control. A web interface provides a full suite of image adjustment options. It supports PELCO-D, PELCO-P, VISCA, and IP-VISCA protocols, providing support for compatible joystick controllers.
