 The Ruff Ride HD-SDI allows users to call features and setings on the fly via Preset numbers on the PTZ Controller you choose to use with the camera.  This allows users to go to preset positions, call up the wiper, turn on & off Digital Image Stabilization, Wide Dynamic Range, Freeze a Picture On-Screen, Turn the Lights On & Off (or change Lighting Power level), Change Shutter Speeds, and many other Features by simply inputting a Preset number.  Gone are the days of having to call up the Menu, then negotiate through several layers to change a simple setting.  The Ruff Ride Works the way you need it to work.

  Rugged Marine has a partner company that makes the Ruff-Ride case for this PTZ, then we assemble it with our own SONY 30X Zoom Modulewith Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), and our own MaxNight software that boosts the available light in low light situations.  We have now developed the new Firmware for Broadcast TV compatibility as well.

  The Ruff-Ride Mobile PTZ comes with a special Vibration Dampening Plate with 5 Heavy Duty Springs that deliver a smooth ride under severe jarring and engine or motor vibration conditions.  Couple this with SONY’s Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) settings, and you have two ways to combat shaky footage. (Not to be confused with the Digital Noise Reduction setting, which only works well in Black & White mode for low light amplification).

Choose Between Two Types Of On-Board Lights

The Ruff-Ride HD-SDI Mobile PTZ carries it’s own lighting for lighting up the area in low light conditions. The Model with Infrared Lamps is commonly used where invisible IR lighting is needed, and is viewed by the camera in Black & White (Mono) mode. The White Light Model is used where visible light is desired and a Color picture is needed. Here are more of the lighting features:

• On-Board Lighting (Infrared Lamps or White Light Lamps Models Available)
• 390′ Infrared or White Light Range (120 Meters)
• High Beam & Low Beam Settings for both Lighting Models
• Model with Infrared Lights will automatically turn on Lamps in low light settings, and can be automatically switched from Low to High Beams depending on Camera Zoom distance
• Model with White Light Lamps controls the Lamps via a Preset setting and can be turned on or off at anytime – day or night

Since the Ruff-Ride Mobile PTZ is designed for Inspection purposes as well as Surveillance, we offer models with either type of lighting you will need, and let you control the Power Settings as well. (choose Infrared or White Light model when purchasing)
