applications including the control of the camera from a

remote location.

High degree of compatibility with Panasonic’s currently available controllers, enabling a flexible system to be put together

● A maximum of five units can be operated by serial control

from one of Panasonic’s currently available controllers

(AW-RP50).

The unit can also be used together with the cameras

and pan-tilt head unit systems currently available from

Panasonic Corporation so that an existing system can be

used to advantage to put together a system that is even

more flexible.

Notes

● It may be necessary to upgrade the version of the

controllers in order to support the unit. For details on upgrading, visit the support page on the following website. https://pro-av.panasonic.net/

● The maximum distances between the units and

controller is 1000 meters (3280 ft). (when serial control is exercised) Use of an external device or some other means must be provided separately in order to extend the video signal connections.

Standard serial communication support

● Connect up to seven cameras to a commercially available

controller via RS-232C interface.

Integrated pan‑tilt head unit, camera and lens to facilitate installation

● By designing the camera, lens and pan-tilt head as a

single integrated unit, the time taken for the installation

work has been drastically reduced.

Use of easy‑to‑operate wireless remote control (optional accessory) is possible

● A wireless remote control capable of operating up to four

units can be used.

It can easily be used to set the various functions or switch

between them while viewing the menu screens.

Characteristics

(continued)

Flexible camera layout enabled by simple connection and installation

● The unit features excellent connectivity and installability

thanks to the IP control; a lightweight main unit, and the turn-lock mechanism, which enables the user to install it on his or her own (only when used indoors).

Note

● Bear in mind that the unit is designed to be used

indoors only: It cannot be used outdoors.

Easy connections and settings courtesy of IP control

● Up to a hundred units can be operated by IP connection

from a Panasonic controller (AW-RP50). (The maximum length of the LAN cables is 100 meters [328 ft].)

● By automatically recognizing the IP addresses and

changing their allocation, the previous restrictions on the connections between the cameras and controllers using serial interfaces and the time and trouble taken to establish the various settings can be significantly reduced, and by configuring a network, flexible camera control can be implemented anywhere with any of the cameras.

Equipped with a high dynamic range (HDR) imaging function

● This reduces overexposure and loss of dark detail

in images with high light-dark contrast between the

background and the subject.

Built‑in ND filter

● Built-in ND filter with 4 positions (Through, 1/4, 1/16,

1/64). This makes it easy to select the most suitable

shutter speed and aperture under varying levels of

illumination.

When “Full Auto” is selected as the setting for shooting

mode (Scene), you can select ND filter auto selection

function according to ambient light conditions.

Equipped with optical image stabilization (OIS)

● This function detects and compensates for camera shake

to reduce image blurring due to camera jitter.

High-precision camera shake compensation is provided

through an optical image stabilization with low image

degradation.

PoE+ *

eliminates need for camera power configurations

● Configurations for camera’s power supply are not

necessary when the unit is connected to a network device that supports the PoE+ standard (IEEE802.3at compliant)*

Operating precautions

Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.

To produce pictures with eye-pleasing colors, shoot under the proper lighting conditions. The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when shooting under fluorescent lights. Select the proper lighting as required.

To ensure a stable performance in the long term

Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life. (Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C [95 °F]) Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any air directly toward the installation location.

Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters

If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may become discolored. The discoloration may be noticeable when the direction of fixed monitoring is changed.

Do not point the camera at strong lights.

When parts of the MOS sensor are exposed to spotlights or other strong lights, blooming (a phenomenon where the edges of strong lights become blurred) may occur.

Bright subject

When using the automatic functions

● If “Full Auto” has been selected as the setting for Scene

on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings

will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be

possible for some of the items.

● When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment)

function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may

var y.

● In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto

setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and

focus manually.

● The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when

shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the gain

and iris.

In cases like this, set the shutter speed to manual, and

adjust.

Zooming and focusing

When the focus is set manually, out-of-focusing may occur during zooming. After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the focus to auto. When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end where the focusing accuracy is higher. (However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less than 1.0 meter [3.28 ft], the subject may shift out of focus at the Wide end.) If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted the focus at the Wide end, out-of-focusing may occur.

Blooming

Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors

Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not indicative of any trouble.

What happens with high‑brightness subjects

Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take some other remedial action.

Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned on

When the unit is turned on, the zoom, focus, and iris return to their positions from before the unit entered standby mode. (This happens for the focus and iris when they were set manually.) The operation will be performed with the [Preset Scope] settings applied in such cases. However, this position may not be restored if, for instance, the power cable was disconnected during operation.

Operating temperature range

Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the temperature rises above 40 °C (104 °F) since these temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely affect the internal parts.

Concerning the HDMI interface standard

The unit has been certified as HDMI-compatible, but on rare occasions images may not be displayed depending on the HDMI device which has been connected to the unit.

Operating precautions

(continued)

Color bars

Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the widths and positions of these bars may differ from other models.

Concerning IP video refresh speed and operations from the web screen

The IP video refresh speed may be reduced and operations from the web screen may be slower, depending on the network environment used, performance of the personal computer or the mobile terminal, subjects and access count.

Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the rotating parts.

Otherwise, trouble may be caused.

Keep the unit away from water.

Avoid all direct contact with water. Otherwise, problems may occur.

Maintenance

Disconnect the power supply before proceeding with maintenance. Otherwise, you may injure yourself. Wipe the surfaces using a soft dry cloth. Avoid all contact with benzine, paint thinners and other volatile substances, and avoid using these substances. Otherwise, the casing may become discolored.

Handle the unit carefully.

Do not drop the unit or subject it to strong impact or vibration. Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction.

When the unit is not in use

Turn off the unit’s power when it is not in use. When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to remove it properly.

Do not touch the optical system parts.

The optical system parts are the very heart of the camera. Under no circumstances must they be touched. In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently with a lens cleaning paper.

Do not turn the camera head by hand.

Turning the camera head by hand may cause the unit to malfunction.

Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture and dust.

Avoid using the unit in an environment with high concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions will damage the internal parts.
