NC Series Models

The NC Series comprises the three camera models: the NC-110 ePTZ camera, and the NC-12x80 and NC-20x60 PTZ cameras.

Note: For more NC Series camera information, including features, Q-SYS Designer Software components, and specifications, see the NC Series Conference Cameras topic in the Q-SYS Hardware section. For installation instructions, see the Hardware User Manual on the NC Series product page.

NC-110 ePTZ

The NC -110 is an ePTZ camera that uses electronic pan, tilt and zoom. Unlike the QSC PTZ-IP cameras, this model does not have motors that adjust the image. Instead, the camera’s processor adjusts and crops the image as necessary to deliver the desired result. For example, in this image, the total field-of-view is cropped digitally and then made to look larger, giving the appearance of having been zoomed in:

NC-12x80 and NC-20x60 PTZ

The NC Series PTZ cameras use mechanical motors to adjust the positioning of the lens left and right (pan), up and down (tilt) and in and out (zoom). The NC-12x80 is a 12x optical zoom camera with a 4K image sensor and an 80° horizontal field of view lens. The NC-20x60 is a 20x optical zoom camera with a 4K image sensor and a 60° horizontal field of view.
