Introducing the PT-SUPERJOY-G1
The PT-SUPERJOY-G1 is designed to provide in depth control of the PTZOptics and HuddleCamHD line of
cameras for use in production environments and more. With the ability to support both IP and Serial control
from a single controller, the PT-SUPERJOY-G1 presents itself as a flexible control solution.
When used via a Local Area Network (LAN), you can connect to cameras using TCP or UDP communications
to send PTZOptics VISCA over IP commands, with limited support for NDI & Sony VISCA over IP capable
cameras. If using the serial connections via RS-232, RS-485 or RS-422 you have PTZOptics VISCA
commands, Pelco-D, Pelco-P and limited Sony VISCA support.
Note using this with non PTZOptics or HuddleCamHD products may offer limited or no control capabilities.
You can view the PTZOptics VISCA and VISCA over IP command libraries at
