Intel NUC6i7KYK Mini PC NUC Kit

The Intel NUC6i7KYK Mini PC NUC Kit features an Intel Core i7-6770HQ processor and the capabilities you need to build a powerful portable system that you can take with you or fit neatly behind the monitor. The 2.6 GHz 6th-generation Intel Core i7-6770HQ processor comes armed with four cores for multitasking as well as offering speed bursts of up to 3.5 GHz while handling demanding apps. For memory capabilities, this NUC can support up to 32GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory modules as well as house two M.2 2242/80 SSDs that have a SATA- or PCIe-based interface. Moreover, it sports an integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580 chipset so you can experience 4K visuals as well as smooth frame rates.

Intel has outfitted this NUC with a feature you do not normally find with most other NUCs by equipping it with a Thunderbolt 3 port that lets you daisy chain multiple devices such as monitors and storage drives. You can also enhance the graphics capabilities of this NUC by utilizing a dedicated graphics card, which is housed in a Thunderbolt enclosure. Other notable ports included with this NUC are four USB 3.0 ports and two audio jacks along with an HDMI 2.0 port, mini-DisplayPort 1.2, and Gigabit Ethernet port. Aside from ports, an SDXC slot, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2 wireless are on board. Included along with the NUC are an external power adapter and a VESA mount that attaches the NUC6i7KYK behind your display.

Quad-Core Skylake Intel Core i7 Performance

This NUC features a 2.6 GHz 6th-generation Skylake Intel Core i7-6770HQ processor, with 6MB of L3 cache. The Skylake processor uses less energy when compared to previous Intel processors. With Intel Turbo Boost Technology, the maximum clock rate this processor can achieve is 3.5 GHz. Having four cores also allows the NUC to run multiple programs at the same time without slowing down the system.

Intel Iris Pro Graphics

The Intel Iris Pro Graphics chipset with 4K display capabilities allows you to edit photos and videos like a professional or immerse yourself in seamless 3D gameplay, all in 4K on three monitors at once. With Intel Iris Pro graphics, the NUC can quickly convert media files and provide fast frame rates.

Wireless

The NUC6i7KYK comes with Intel 802.11ac wireless, so you can connect out-of-the-box to access files, movies, and music in the cloud. Furthermore, Bluetooth 4.2 is onboard, so you can connect wireless peripherals such as headsets and keyboards.

Additional Features

This NUC supports up to 32GB of RAM, so you can install the memory you need for fast map load times and app switching. The four USB 3.0 ports enable you to connect a keyboard, a mouse, and an Intel RealSense camera to the NUC. Additionally, one of these four USB 3.0 ports supports USB charging.

PTZOptics 12x-SDI Gen2 Live Streaming Camera (Gray)

This is the 12x-SDI Gen2 model of the PTZOptics lineup of advanced live streaming cameras, in gray, featuring a 3G-SDI output for connecting to switching equipment for broadcast conferencing. The Gen2 model is capable of 1080p60/50 recording (instead of a max of 30 fps), and streaming in H.265 and MJPEG in addition to H.264.

This camera has a 3.5 – 42.3mm lens providing a 12x zoom range, allowing for effective close-focus and wide-angle shots to best suit both face-to-face and group meetings. It does well in low-light conditions owing to a fast f/1.8 – f/2.8 lens aperture and minimum illumination requirement of only 0.5 lux at f/1.8. On top of this, built-in wide dynamic range and 2D and 3D noise cancellation further enhance the conferencing experience. The camera, along with its entire family of 20x and 12x models, is completely open source so developers can customize everything as they prefer using simple HTML commands.

In addition to the 3D-SDI output, the camera also has LAN, HDMI, and composite outputs, RS-232 input and output with daisy-chain capability, and an RS-485 port. The SDI, LAN, and HDMI outputs can be used simultaneously at the same resolution, which can be assigned via a dial on the rear. The composite output can only be used by itself and at 480i/576i resolution. The LAN output is capable of streaming two H.264 or two H.265 RTSP signals, one in HD and one in SD, or a single MJPEG signal, and allows for direct distribution to CDNs, streaming services, and other destinations using only the camera. There’s also a 3.5mm audio input for embedding audio into an HDMI signal or LAN stream so you can deliver both audio and video to your destination. The LAN port can be used for streaming and control and also supports Power-over-Ethernet. As an alternative to direct streaming from the LAN port you can also connect external devices for more advanced conferencing. You’ll also find a USB 2.0 port among all the connections, but this is strictly for firmware updates.

The camera can be controlled via the LAN port over a network, ONVIF over a network, and RS-232 via VISCA commands. RS-232 control includes control from any NewTek TriCaster, including any of the TriCaster Mini models. Simply connect multiple cameras to the TriCaster using DB9 cables and operate all of them from its software. A TriCaster can also be used over IP control using third-party software.

A large variety of software is supported, including most online meeting software, mobile apps for control over your network, and the advanced PTZOptics Network Control and VISCA Control applications.

An included IR remote control lets you adjust many settings via an on-screen display, allowing you to set and call presets, and control up to four cameras. You can set up to 64 presets in the camera (and up to 255 via RS-232), with a preset accuracy of 0.1°, and you can call up to 10 presets using the remote. The camera can be used desktop-mounted or ceiling-mounted, using an optional PTZOptics ceiling-mount bracket.

HuddleCamHD HC-JOY-G3 3rd Generation Serial PTZ Joystick

The HuddleCamHD HC-JOY-G3 3rd Generation Serial PTZ Joystick is a universal PTZ controller for any VISCA, Pelco-D, and Pelco-P protocol camera. You can control up to 255 cameras, with up to six assignable to “Quick Keys.”

This all-metal controller, designed robust to withstand the rigors of daily production, provides zero latency control over RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 cabling. It does not require a connection to an Ethernet-based network. The maximum communication distance is 3937′ over RS-485 using a 24 AWG twisted pair cable.

Note:Some camera control options are only available using the VISCA protocol. Pelco-P and Pelco-D do not support Main Exposure and Main Focus joystick buttons.

Magewell XI100DUSB SDI USB 3.0 Capture Dongle

Supporting resolutions up to 1080p, the Magewell XI100DUSB SDI USB 3.0 Capture Dongle can send full HD video to your computer for recording or streaming. The XI100 has a micro-coaxial input which can be converted to a standard BNC port with the included adapter. Through this port the XI100 will accept SD, HD, and 3G-SDI signals. If you need to stream or record at a certain resolution, regardless of the input, the XI100 will internally up or down-covert the input signal to the set resolution. It can also perform frame-rate conversion and de-interlacing in real-time with its own hardware, taking the processing load off of your computer’s CPU.

Because the XI100 uses the existing drivers on your computer, the capture device will work with any software that supports those drivers. If you don’t have a USB 3.0 port available, the XI100 will work with a USB 2.0 port, although the resolution and frame rate capabilities will be reduced due to the restricted bandwidth.

* No drivers needed for Windows, Mac, or Linux

* Automatically determines input video format and converts it to the specified output size and frame rate

* Automatically converts input audio formats to 48KHz PCM stereo audio

* 64MB of DDR2 onboard memory to control frame buffer and avoid interruption or dropped frames when USB bandwidth is occupied
