Professional PTZ Optics
You can be sure a PRO PTZ camera from Panasonic will have some of the most technologically advanced sensors, lenses and optical standards on the market, all manufactured and assembled in one place. The benefit of having a camera that hasn't sourced sensors or optics from another manufacturer is having the peace of mind that everything will work as designed. With that in mind, our 4K and full-HD PRO PTZ cameras are all specially tuned to push the limits of sensor & optic science, providing long, clear optical zoom, wide viewing angles without edge distortion, advanced optical and electronic image stabilization, and outstanding focus ranges for sharp images or creative shallow depth of field shots.
Smooth Moves & Whisper Quiet Operation
A remote camera by design is meant to be unobtrusive. Taking this to the next level, our PRO PTZ Cameras offer whisper-quiet mechanical operation, a fan-less design1 and some of the smoothest, most natural-looking panning & tilting movements possible. Registering at a sound level of NC351 or lower, you can rest assured that your audience will be captivated by the footage, not jarring on-air shots or whirring cameras in a silent environment.
Single Cable for Power, Control, Video & Peace of Mind
All of our current PRO PTZ cameras feature support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) through either PoE+ or PoE++ standards. With PoE technology, simply running an Ethernet cable from a compatible network switch to your camera will power it, and also allow you to control it and stream video. This eliminates the need for complicated electrical wiring, reduces installation costs, and allows for a simplified deployment. With our NDI|HX cameras, the power of the Ethernet cable grows, allowing for embedded audio and tally light in addition to power, control and streaming video.
Versatile Remote Camera Control Options
Panasonic PRO PTZ cameras offer a multitude of control options, giving you a broad choice of platforms and budget ranges. From free software, to powerful all-in-one live streaming solutions, we've covered all the bases to ensure that all of your professional video production needs are covered and can properly scale as your production grows.
Forward-Thinking Camera Design
Integrating the full components of a professional camera, adding the mechanics of panning/tilting and keeping it in a small form factor is no small task, but our engineering team has been able to do it without compromise. Along with input from the forward-thinking Consultants, Architects and Designers working on the projects of today and tomorrow, our product design team has embraced their inspiration to craft a camera that fits in a wide range of environments. In turn, our PRO PTZ cameras have been carefully sculpted with minimalistic lines, sleek chiseled corners, and reserved styling, allowing them to be unobtrusive where installed, yet pleasing to the eye when seen. With included cable clamps and cable covers, we help keep your installed camera clean and tidy. Pick the color that matches your space, with a choice of Pearl White or Metallic Black and matching wall mount accessories.
Flexible Camera Installation Options
Our lineup of PRO PTZ cameras allow for a variety of placements. Upright or hanging upside-down. Placed on a table, or mounted to a tripod, hung from the ceiling or a truss, mounted to a pole, or installed on a wall, the low-profile design of the cameras keeps installation options versatile and your audience undistracted. We also offer outdoor housings for select camera models to protect them from the elements and provide heating/cooling as needed. The cameras have a 1/4-20 tripod thread mount, come with an easy release ceiling mount bracket, and a drop protection wire harness for added installation safety and security.
Professional Video Outputs & Connectivity
Whether all you need is a camera to plug into your computer to use as a super web cam or a full-fledged camera that feeds footage to a massive 4K LED screen in a professional sports arena, we have the camera with the right output options for you.
Professional Grade Camera Features
Features typically unheard of in robotic cameras are available with Panasonic PRO PTZ cameras. From genlock and video sync signals, to integrated optical ND filters and LOG shooting modes, you're sure to find a PRO PTZ camera that has these features and meets your live video production demands.
Fine-Tuned Color Adjustment
Taking expertise from the demanding world of live production camera shading and the perfection-seeking colorists of cinema production, we've made sure that all of our PRO PTZ cameras offer the ability for 12 or 16 Axis Color adjustments, along with the ability to harness this capability with our Remote Operation Panels for live broadcast. This high-level of precise color tuning is typically not found in PTZ cameras, but is a must have for broadcast. We've included it in our full PRO PTZ lineup, allowing you to always output the most striking video possible.
MicroSD Card Recording
Camera video and audio can be recorded in MP4 format on a MicroSD card inserted into the unit. In addition, using an IP network, it is possible to externally control recording start/stop and download the recorded files. Only available with select cameras.
IP Access & Control
Using an IP browser, such as Chrome or Safari, you're able to fully control the PTZ operations from the control room or even from a remote location. IP control with image monitoring via PC, MAC and mobile terminals simplifies the management of cameras around a campus, or across a worldwide enterprise network. IP video monitoring and remote camera control can also be performed from mobile devices such as an iPhone, iPad or an Android device.
The beauty of Panasonic PRO PTZ cameras are the various options available for controlling the cameras. Since the cameras are prevalent across a wide variety of industries, we've been able to develop camera control across a number of platforms. You're not tied down to using a specific controller and we have a selection of controllers to pick from across a wide range of budgets and single / multi-camera workflow needs.
Multi-Camera Production & Deployment
Whether you're setting up one camera for a simple live stream or deploying 30 cameras for a professional sports broadcast, we've made it as easy as possible to get it done quickly and easily. With our range of controllers, quick multi-camera operation of up to 100-200 cameras is possible, and your crew or on-screen talent is always aware of which camera is live with integrated tally and status lights.
Solid Reliability
Once you're up and running, we'll keep it that way. Our PRO PTZ cameras go through the same rigorous quality assurance testing as the professional broadcast, cinema and production equipment we manufacture. The same standards of the professional cameras that power broadcasts, film productions, and other video productions around the world & around the clock.
Night-Mode for IR Shooting
Night Mode makes it possible to shoot in extremely low light, or even in complete darkness, with the use of an ordinary IR illuminator (800nm range). Remote control and auto mode switching are provided, for use in staging, reality show production, and other applications.
Easy Set-Up & Operation
From the outset, we’ve been keen on providing professional camera performance, yet making it accessible to everyone. By simplifying the camera set-up process and making the camera menus as basic as can be, yet advanced as you need them to be, we’ve made them as plug and play as possible. With the user in mind, the cameras fit into any professional camera setting, yet are intuitive enough for a new operator or volunteer to pick-up on quickly.

- Audio Input: Select cameras feature a TRS-mini stereo audio input for embedding audio into the NDI® feed.
Direct Integration with Robotic Dolly Systems
Panasonic and Tecnopoint have partnered up to develop 'TUNING,' an advanced robotic system that provides broadcast-quality movement of PRO PTZ cameras with the addition of varying combinations of motorized dollies, telescopic columns and ceiling/floor tracks. The TUNING system allows you to build a cost-effective studio with broadcast-style on-air movements, fusing the fluid pan, tilt and zoom of the gear-driven Panasonic PRO PTZ cameras with the smooth, cinematic vertical/horizontal motion of the belt-driven TUNING system.
