The CineTreak CT-CR02 Multifunctional NDI PTZ Remote Controller with NDI HX Preview and Joystick Control is a professional-grade PTZ camera control keyboard designed for the demands of broadcast studios, live productions, conference facilities, and educational environments. Built as a true all-in-one control centre and powered via PoE+ with flexible connectivity, it combines precise operation, advanced device management, and seamless system integration to give camera operators and technical directors confident, comprehensive control.
Professional PTZ control for demanding environments
The ergonomically designed control surface is made for fast, intuitive operation. A high-precision 4D joystick enables smooth pan and tilt movements, while the integrated zoom knob provides exceptionally fluid focal transitions. Three dedicated 3D rotary controls and clearly organised button zones offer immediate access to essential image adjustments, including white balance, exposure (iris, shutter, gain), and focus. This reduces the need to navigate menus and significantly improves workflow efficiency during live production.
Integrated preview and external monitoring
An intuitive 3" LCD screen provides live video preview of the selected camera, with support for both NDI HX2 and RTSP streams. For larger monitoring setups, the HDMI output delivers zero-latency video to external displays at resolutions up to 4K30.
Broad protocol support and high-capacity camera management
The device supports all major industry control protocols, including VISCA (Serial/IP/TCP), Pelco-D/P, ONVIF, and NDI, with automatic protocol detection for quick and straightforward setup. Through its PoE-enabled network interface, the system can manage up to 1000 IP cameras, while seven programmable shortcut keys enable instant camera switching.
Flexible integration and remote management
An upgraded web-based backend allows full remote configuration and management directly through a browser, with no additional software required. With RS-232, RS-422/485, and RJ45 connectivity, the unit integrates easily into virtually any production ecosystem.
Live production coordination and operator protection
The controller supports tally input/output and camera linkage for up to seven channels, helping ensure smooth coordination in live broadcast workflows. Dual-colour white and red backlit silicone keys remain clearly visible in any lighting condition and support text labelling for simple camera identification. A one-touch lock function helps prevent accidental operation during critical moments.
