New Skaarhoj IP Joystick Controller Features
The new super cool IP camera controllers available from Skaarhoj feature customizable OLED displays to provide labels for the flexible operations. The new Skaarhoj IP Fly will report values from the PTZOptics cameras and allow the operators a quick and easy way to adjust camera settings. The fine grain controls allow broadcasters the ability to toggle between automatic and manual settings for exposure, color balance and other camera features. The joysticks camera setting reports give producers real time setting feedback from the cameras ideal for quickly color matching multiple cameras over IP.

Of course one of the most important parts of any PTZ IP joystick controller the Skaarhoj wins for ultra-low latency connectivity over a LAN (Local Area Network). The Skaarhoj devices offer multiple menu options with new “4-Way” buttons meaning that the button can detect a press on either edge of the square button. Therefore the lower edge of a button can be used as a preset selector. The same button can be used on the sides to page through the available camera presets. The PTZ Fly joystick is the first IP joystick with the 4-way buttons for PTZOptics cameras
The new Skaarhoj IP joysticks are now available with PoE (Power Over Ethernet) but they also still support regular 12V power supplies. Therefore if you do not have a PoE network switch your ethernet connection would only need to be used for connectivity.
Another amazing feature for Skaarhoj IP joysticks is that they can issue the same commands to multiple cameras at once. This is very innovative allowing the joystick operators to select multiple cameras at the same time. The OLED displays are used for displaying real-time

data but they can also be customized in the user interface using the units static IP address. The buttons on the larger Skaarhoj joystick provides direct access to the cameras core exposure settings which affect the OLED displays where the twistable knobs are.
