NC-20x60

What it works with

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

The lens is chosen from the table, not the room

This page publishes 20x optical zoom across a 60° horizontal field. The NC-12x80 is the same mechanical PTZ traded the other way: 12x optical across 80°. Both publish a 4K sensor. Narrow and long reaches down a boardroom; wide and shorter holds a training room in frame at once. This page also publishes a 4K30 maximum format and an IP stream configurable to 1080p; the 12x80 page publishes neither, so confirm those two rows if the stream matters. Our note on picking the camera from the table works the choice through by table length.

One camera covers a table the microphones cannot

The reach here is built for twenty-two seats down a boardroom table. An NM-T1 table microphone publishes a pickup range of 3 - 9 ft (1 - 3 m), in four zones up to 360°. The camera scales with the room by zooming; the microphones scale by count. So a table long enough to justify 20x optical is a table that needs several microphones, and the camera count and the microphone count are not the same number.

It needs a Core, and it spends one of thirty-two peripheral slots

This is a network endpoint, so a QSC Core runs the room behind it. Core Nano publishes no analog I/O at all — every source networked — and up to 32 network peripherals. Core 8 Flex publishes the same 32, and adds 8 analog Flex channels on board plus 8 x 8 GPIO for rooms with a wired lectern, a legacy codec or a room PC. Both publish 64 x 64 networked audio over Q-LAN and AES67 and 8 AEC processors. The camera is one peripheral; so is every table microphone, every networked loudspeaker and the TSC-101-G3 panel.

The PoE class is not published here, and this is the endpoint where that matters

Connection is published as RJ-45, Gigabit + PoE over Cat5e or better, with no class stated. The other powered endpoints in the same room do publish one: the TSC-101-G3 panel at PoE+ Class 4, the NM-T1 microphone at PoE Type 1 Class 2 under 6.5 W, and an NL-C4 ceiling loudspeaker at PoE+ Type 2 Class 4. A motorised pan-tilt-zoom head is the one device on that list whose draw should not be assumed from the others. Ask for the class in writing before the switch is ordered, not after.

There is no USB here, and the Cores publish USB audio rather than video

Video, power and control arrive on the one network cable, which is the point — no USB extenders down the wall. What the Cores publish on the USB side is audio: Core Nano lists 8 x 8 USB audio bridging and USB device hosting for a single headset or speakerphone, and Core 8 Flex lists 8 x 8 USB audio. Those are audio rows. How this camera’s video reaches a Windows room PC is not answered by any specification published on this site, and is worth settling before the design is fixed. Where the room is a Microsoft Teams Room, the Teams-certified device here is the RoomSuite Bar, which carries its own four 50MP cameras at 125° wide and 42° telephoto and ships its own console — so a separate PTZ beside it is a deliberate choice rather than a default.

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