As far as I can tell, this outperforms the equivalent Opics PTZ camera.

This worked great for our services presented via Zoom in combination with the OBS and OBS/NDI plugins. But it's not a USB webcam, and Zoom won't recognize it without such middleware.

Pros

Professional Full HD camera for live streaming and video conferencing. It can simultaneously output video with a maximum resolution of 1080p at 60 fps from 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP streaming (MJPEG, H.264 and H.265). Support for PoE (802.3af) and RTSP, RTMP, SRT and other technologies, the ability to support advanced live broadcasting features.
