Telycam Launches Explore XE 4K PTZ Camera with 1-Inch Sensor for Broadcast AV

New camera delivers premium broadcast quality, superior auto-focus and rich feature set at a price point ideal for the Pro AV market

Shenzhen, China – May 27, 2025 – Telycam today announced the Explore XE, a powerful new 4K PTZ camera specifically designed to bring broadcast-class quality and capabilities to the professional AV market. Featuring a 1-inch Sony sensor, phase detection auto-focus (PDAF) and 20x optical zoom, the new Explore XE offers the premium performance of Telycam’s flagship Explore broadcast camera in a purpose-built model tailored for the connectivity and budget requirements of AV environments.

Telycam will demonstrate the Explore XE and other ground-breaking new products in booth 3088 at InfoComm 2025 (June 11 to 13 in Orlando, Florida).

Explore XE features the same sensor, optics and advanced auto-focus that helped earn its broadcast sibling Explore camera a 2025 NAB Show Product of the Year Award. Explore XE’s large 1-inch sensor enables spectacular video quality and excels in low-light conditions, capturing sharp detail with minimal noise. Its superior light sensitivity, dynamic range and shallow depth-of-field capabilities combine to enable stunning visuals with exceptional contrast and clarity. Advanced PDAF provides accurate, lightning-fast auto-focus with minimal focus hunting, keeping subjects in focus even in fast-paced environments.

The Explore XE camera features a flexible array of outputs. 4K video at 60 frames per second can be output over HDMI or NDI^® HX3, with 4K at 30 fps available over a USB Type-C connection. Meanwhile, a 3G-SDI interface outputs 1080p60 video scaled from the 4K image. External audio sources can be brought into the camera from a mini-XLR input with phantom power or a 3.5mm analog input.

FreeD protocol support transmits precise pan, tilt, zoom and focus data for seamless integration with Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) production solutions. A built-in variable ND filter and threads for external ND filters allow the Explore XE to adapt easily to various lighting conditions. Additional key features include native AI-powered auto-tracking; local recording to a microSD card; dual tally lights; and POE+ support.

Telycam’s top-of-the-line Explore broadcast PTZ camera was already the price/performance leader in its class, but with Explore XE, the company is bringing high-end quality and capabilities further within reach of a wider range of organizations and end-users.

“The Explore XE camera is a perfect fit for the Broadcast AV convergence,” said Telycam co-founder Jenny Liu. “Many AV professionals and organizations have been delighted by the impeccable quality, superior auto-focus and rich functionality of our flagship Explore camera, but don’t need connectivity such as 12G-SDI and SFP+ that are oriented towards broadcast environments. Explore XE offers them all of Explore’s core benefits at a price that’s affordable even to smaller organizations and institutions.”
