Panasonic AW-RP60 PTZ Camera Controller

The AW-RP60 is a compact hardware controller for Panasonic professional PTZ cameras, built around a smooth joystick and a 3.5-inch color LCD that shows key camera parameters such as iris, zoom, and focus at a glance. Four user-assignable buttons carry a total of eight functions, and cameras can be organized into as many as 10 groups, so a single operator can move quickly across a large rig. It stores up to 100 presets for repeatable pan, tilt, and zoom moves.

It addresses up to 200 AW-UE150 cameras or up to 100 other PTZ models over IP, plus up to five cameras over RS-422 serial. Power comes from PoE over the same LAN cable that carries control, or from a 4-pin XLR DC input when PoE is not available. The unit measures 210 by 92 by 177 mm excluding protrusions, small enough to sit alongside a switcher on a crowded production desk.
