Meet MAX: The Camera that Redefines Meetings and Productions

Introducing MAX, the PTZ camera designed to bridge the gap between everyday webcams and full-blown production cameras. Whether you’re looking to enhance your video meetings or level up your professional broadcasts, MAX delivers stunning performance and versatility in a beautifully designed package, with a best-in-class wide-angle lens perfect for rooms of any size.

From Webcam to Production Camera – Versatility at Its Best

MAX effortlessly transitions between roles, functioning as both a high-quality webcam and a powerful production camera. Thanks to its HDMI and NDI outputs, you can integrate MAX into any workflow—be it a simple video call or a complex production. Its compatibility with NDI means that it seamlessly fits into modern IP video workflows, while the HDMI output ensures straightforward connectivity with traditional AV setups.

Seamless Integration with POD for Unified Communications Workflows

When paired with POD, MAX redefines what’s possible in unified communications (UC) by combining professional-grade performance with effortless usability. Designed to work seamlessly with NDI workflows, POD eliminates the complexity of traditional software setups, making MAX the ultimate solution for platforms like Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet.

Here’s why the MAX and POD combination stands out:

• NDI Integration Made Easy: Leverage the power of MAX’s NDI capabilities without the hassle of complex software or configuration. POD connects MAX directly to your computer via USB, enabling it to appear as a high-quality UVC webcam while maintaining NDI functionality for advanced workflows.
• Switch Between Cameras with Ease: POD allows users to effortlessly switch between multiple MAX cameras or other video sources, making it ideal for dynamic presentations, multi-angle video calls, and hybrid events.
• Software-Free Simplicity: Say goodbye to cumbersome software requirements. POD provides a hardware-based solution that bridges NDI cameras to UC platforms seamlessly, saving time and reducing technical challenges.
• API-Driven Scalability: For advanced setups, POD offers API integration, enabling full customization within AV systems like Crestron or Q-SYS. This ensures flexibility for larger or more complex environments.

By combining MAX’s broadcast-level video quality and professional pan-tilt-zoom control with POD’s hardware-based simplicity and API capabilities, this pairing delivers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re running a single meeting room, creating multi-camera setups, or integrating into enterprise-grade AV systems, MAX and POD offer scalable, reliable, and user-friendly solutions that transform video communications into polished, professional-grade productions.
