NC Series Models

The NC Series comprises the five camera models: the NC-110 and NC-90-G2 ePTZ cameras, and the NC-12x80, NC-20x60, and NC-Pro15x PTZ cameras.

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

The NC-90-G2 is the next-gen network ePTZ camera that combines onboard AI with enhanced optics to deliver an automated collaboration experience in smaller, wider collaboration spaces.

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:

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.

Front Panel – NC-12x80 and NC-20x60 PTZ

  1. Status LED (Green)
    • Off indicates the camera is in standby mode; network streams are off.
    • On indicates the camera is streaming video over the network.
    • Blinking indicates the ID mode is on.
  2. Power LED (Blue)
    • On indicates the camera has power applied.
    • Off indicates the camera has no power applied.

    • Identifies the product serial number
    • Identifies the product MAC address
  2. ID Button: Press to identify this product in Q-SYS Designer Software and Q-SYS Configurator. The green STATUS LED on the front panel blinks when in ID mode. Press again to turn off.
  3. Factory Reset pin-hole: Use a paperclip or similarly sized object to insert. Press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. This resets all parameters to the factory defaults.
  4. Kensington™ Lock Slot: for use with a security cable (not supplied).
  5. DC 12 V: Connect an external power supply (not included). Supply must be rated at 12VDC 1A, EIAJ-04, center pin positive, outside barrel negative. Use only a class 2/LPS power supply.
  6. LAN/PoE: RJ-45 connector for Q-SYS Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet. Cat5e cabling or better required.
  7. 3G-SDI: 3G-SDI output via various video formats. Video formats can be changed via Q-SYS Designer Software or a Q-SYS User Control Interface (UCI). Maximum video format is 1080p60.
  8. HDMI: HDMI® 1.4b output via various video formats. Video formats can be changed via Q-SYS Designer Software or a Q-SYS UCI. Maximum video format is 4K30.

    Note: NC Series PTZ cameras support the usage of either HDMI or SDI, but not both simultaneously.

The NC-Pro15x expands the Q-SYS camera portfolio to bring broadcast-quality video to high-impact spaces that require elevated production-grade elements. Built by Canon, the NC-Pro15x is a network PTZ camera that delivers smooth and responsive pan, tilt, and zoom performance to enhance the VisionSuite Presenter Spotlight experience.
