Description

The AVer CL01 Professional PTZ Camera Controller is a robust, hardware-based universal control surface designed to manage professional Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras. It is heavily utilized in broadcasting, livestreaming, higher education, house of worship, and telemedicine setups

Core Hardware Specifications

Ergonomic Controls: Features a multi-axis heavy-duty joystick for precise pan, tilt, and zoom movements, alongside 3 infinite rotation knobs dedicated to fine-tuning critical parameters like manual focus and exposure/brightness.
Dedicated Channels: Outfitted with 7 physical camera shortcut buttons on the faceplate, allowing operators to switch active control instantly between 7 separate local feeds.
Visual Display: Equipped with a clear OLED screen that provides immediate visual feedback on the system menu, protocol statuses, and active channel parameters.

Connectivity and Protocol Compatibility

The controller is universal, supporting both traditional analog serial architectures and modern networked ecosystems:

Supported Control Protocols: Incorporates native VISCA, Sony VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P protocols.
Physical Interface I/O: Outfitted with back-panel connections for IP (RJ45), RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, and Micro USB.
Scale Capacity: While the physical faceplate features 7 rapid-toggle buttons, the controller can address and scale up to 255 total PTZ cameras across an active IP network.

Integration and Configuration Notes

Network Deployments: When using VISCA-over-IP, the controller and all target cameras must reside on the same LAN network subnet. Devices must be linked via a standard network switch or PoE router; standard cross-over network cables or direct camera-to-controller cabling will not function.
Advanced Management: The device functions seamlessly alongside the proprietary Windows-based AVer PTZ Management Software, which permits remote system administration, firmware pushes, and configuration testing over serial or IP networks.
