Panasonic AW-RP150GJ Remote Camera Controller with 7-inch Touch Panel

Panasonic AW-RP150GJ Remote Camera Controller with 7-inch Touch Panel

The Panasonic AW-RP150GJ is a remote camera controller for Panasonic PTZ camera systems, designed so one operator can run several cameras. The ZOOM/FOCUS rocker sits on the joystick, so pan, tilt, zoom and focus can all be handled with one hand, and the built-in 7-inch touch display gives quick access to the essential camera functions.

It connects up to 200 cameras over IP or 5 cameras over RS-422, with 10 camera selection buttons and 20 camera groups. A 3G-SDI input with active thru output lets the operator view a camera picture on the controller and use the touch focus function to set focus on a point on screen. It stores 100 presets, records tracing memory of up to 5 minutes per camera, and can copy camera settings across multiple cameras.

The unit takes power over PoE+ or 12 V DC and has two D-sub 25-pin Tally/GPIO ports for integration with switchers and tally systems, plus an SD card slot. Contact CINEOM Broadcast FZCO for a quote or technical advice on setting up the AW-RP150GJ with your PTZ cameras.
