NC-12x80

What it works with

For checking fit before you specify. Every figure below is taken from the published specification of the product named.

Eighty degrees is the middle of three widths, not the widest

This page publishes 12x optical zoom across an 80° horizontal field on a mechanical PTZ head. The NC-20x60 is the same mechanism traded the other way: 20x optical across 60°. The NC-110 goes wider still at 110° horizontal, but it is ePTZ and motorless, publishing 8x maximum zoom with 2x lossless — it crops a fixed sensor rather than moving a lens, so reach costs resolution. Eighty degrees is the choice for a room wide enough that 60° cuts the ends off and deep enough that 2x lossless will not reach the back of it. Our note on picking the camera from the table works the choice through by length.

Two rows this page does not publish, and the 20x60 does

The 20x60 page publishes a maximum format of 4K30 and an IP stream configurable to 1080p. This page publishes a 4K sensor and nothing about either. The NC-110 publishes a 1080p IP stream. If the stream format matters — a recorder, a second platform, anything downstream of the Core — confirm those two rows in writing before the design is fixed, rather than inferring them from the 20x60.

A wider camera does not buy a wider microphone

An NM-T1 table microphone publishes a pickup range of 3 - 9 ft (1 - 3 m) across four zones up to 360°. That figure does not change when the lens gets wider. Eighty degrees of camera across a training room will frame people the table microphones do not reach, and that is the specific failure this camera invites: everyone visible, half of them inaudible. Coverage is solved by microphone count and placement, and the count is set by the room rather than by the camera.

It spends one of thirty-two peripheral slots, and a wide room spends the rest fastest

This is a network endpoint, so a QSC Core runs the room behind it. Core Nano and Core 8 Flex both publish up to 32 network peripherals, 64 x 64 networked audio over Q-LAN and AES67, and 8 AEC processors. The camera is one peripheral. So is every NM-T1, every networked loudspeaker — NL-C4 ceiling or NL-P4 pendant — and every TSC-101-G3 panel. A wide room is the one that runs that count up, because the microphone and loudspeaker numbers climb together. Count the endpoints before the Core is chosen, not after. Core Nano publishes no analog I/O at all; Core 8 Flex publishes 8 analog Flex channels on board plus 8 x 8 GPIO, which is what a wired lectern, a legacy codec or a room PC needs.

The PoE class is not published here, and a wide room puts the most endpoints on one switch

Connection is published as RJ-45, Gigabit + PoE over Cat5e or better, with no class stated. The endpoints around it do publish one: the TSC-101-G3 panel at PoE+ Class 4, the NM-T1 at PoE Type 1 Class 2 under 6.5 W, the NL-C4 at PoE+ Type 2 Class 4, and the NL-P4 at PoE Type 1 Class 4 or PoE+ Type 2 Class 4, rated 12 W on PoE and 24 W on PoE+. The NC-110 publishes PoE Class 2 (Type 1). A motorised pan-tilt-zoom head is the one device on that list whose draw should not be assumed from a motorless one. Ask for the class in writing before the switch budget is set.

In a Teams Room the certified bar is already wider than this

Where the room is a Microsoft Teams Room, the Teams-certified device here is the RoomSuite Bar, which publishes four 50MP cameras — two wide-angle, two telephoto — at 125° wide and 42° telephoto with 8x hybrid zoom, a 16-element microphone array with pickup up to 33 ft (10 m), expansion to 4 table microphones, and its own 10.9 inch console. That is wider than the 80° published here. A separate PTZ in a Teams Room is therefore a deliberate choice about reach or camera position, not a way to see more of the room. Note also that the NM-T1 publishes certification for Microsoft Teams, Zoom certification and Works with Google Meet, while no platform certification is published on this page at all.

Which of these applies depends on the width of the room, not the length of the table. See the rooms we build and how we approach conference room AV.
