PTZOptics Rise 4K: 1-Inch Sensor, 20x Zoom Broadcast PTZ

PTZOptics has launched the Rise 4K, a 1-inch sensor PTZ camera targeting broadcast and live production. It shoots 4K60 from a 50MP CMOS sensor with 20x optical zoom, phase-detect AF, optical stabilisation, and a three-stage built-in ND. Shipping with browser-based Horizon control, it sits in the same class as Canon's CR-N700, Panasonic's AW-UE160, and Sony's BRC-AM7. Public debut at IBC2026 in Amsterdam next month; pricing not yet confirmed.
