You may download and install it from the Google site.
• Use the latest version of the remote camera firmware. You can download the firmware from the
following Website:
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/
• Panasonic recommends a wired connection between the server and remote camera. In the case of a
wireless connection, sufficient tracking performance may not be achieved.
• Install Windows Server OS to the C drive.
Network
The network environment for using this software must satisfy the following conditions.
• The Server PC, Client PC, and remote camera must exist on the same network, and a fixed local IP
address must be set for each.
<Notes>
• If there are several network adapters in the Server PC or Client PC, set the fixed local IP address in the
first adapter.
If you set the fixed local IP address in the second or a subsequent network adapter, operation may not be
performed normally.
• This software does not operate in the DHCP environment.

About Registration and Registered Trademarks
• Microsoft, Windows, and Internet Explorer are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the
United States.
• Intel, Intel Core i7, and Intel Xeon are trademarks or registered trademarks of Intel Corporation or its
subsidiaries in the United Sates and other countries.
• All other names, company names, and product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of each

About the Server Configuration
Although this software can operate on a single-server configuration too, the number of remote cameras that
can be controlled simultaneously can be increased by configuring the software with multiple servers. Up to
four remote cameras can be controlled per one server.
If this software is configured by a single server, the server is set as the Master server. When this software is
configured by multiple servers, one of the servers configuring the software is set as the Master server for
centralized management, and the remaining are set as the Slave servers for expansion.
The roles of each server are described below.
• Master server
The Master server performs the following processing:
- Controls up to four remote cameras
- Performs GUI control
- Performs license control
All operations such as accessing the GUIs for using this software, and registering the license, etc. are
performed on the Master server.
• Slave server
The Slave server performs the following processing:
- Performs remote camera control when more than four remote cameras are connected
The Master server controls the remote cameras when up to four remote cameras have been
connected, however, if the number of connected remote cameras is more than four, the Slave server
controls the fifth and subsequent remote cameras. The control allocation is performed automatically.
Setting the Remote Camera
This software optimizes the settings of the remote camera for this software when connecting to the remote
camera. Optimization settings are as follows.
