Panasonic PTZ Camera 15th Anniversary
By Jennifer P
This recently uploaded video celebrates the 15th anniversary of Panasonic’s PTZ camera. The first Panasonic PTZ camera AW-HE100 appears in this video.
Panasonic has been offering box cameras and pan-tilt heads since before. In 2008, we used this know-how to develop a product integrating a lens, a camera and a pan-tilt head. It has been 10 years since our PTZ cameras were first launched. We make efforts in listening carefully to voices of customers and introducing better products that meet customers’ expectations.
Our recent PTZ camera represents what was sublimated during the development of the original AW-HE100. We put three main elements into products when developing them. First, this is a camera for taking pictures. So we sought natural color and color reproducibility. Accordingly, adjustment functions are comparable to high-end studio cameras. Second is moving/stopping reproducibility. It has a robotic mechanism so it must be very accurate, stop crisply and move smoothly. Third is total system cost reduction by workflow innovation using PTZ cameras. We switched from serial to IP control, and to one-cable IP solution for video, control and power. We have been adopting the latest technologies, such as NDI®|HX and fiber solution, which realize easier installation and simpler cabling.
NDI® is a new live video production workflow support protocol for IP use developed by NewTek in the United States. In this instance, NDI® is used to indicate high bandwidth NDI®.
