Panasonic AW-RP200GJ Remote Camera Controller
Announced at IBC 2025 • Shipping begins February 2026
Panasonic Video and Audio Systems North America, a unit of Panasonic Connect of North America, has introduced the AW-RP200GJ, a remote camera controller designed to work with Panasonic’s PTZ lineup—including the AW-UE160W/K, AW-UE150AW/AK, and AW-UE150W/K—for large-scale, multi-camera productions. The controller targets live event and broadcast workflows where real-time operation and reliability are critical. Shipping is expected to begin in February 2026.
IBC 2025 Showcase
Shown at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2025, the AW-RP200GJ supports advanced production techniques such as integration with robotic systems and complex multi-camera setups. It builds on the AW-RP150GJ controller while adding macro recording, a dual-joystick layout, and refinements for multi-camera operation.
Macro Functionality
As Panasonic’s first remote camera controller to offer macro support, the AW-RP200GJ lets operators record and store a sequence of actions—such as switching presets or coordinating multiple cameras—and recall them with a single button press.
Scalability & Control
A single AW-RP200GJ can manage up to 200 PTZ cameras. The main joystick can be assigned to pan/tilt with zoom or focus, while a second joystick enables simultaneous adjustments to support smoother live operation.
Operation Modes & Interface
- Camera selection (assignable up to 20 cameras)
- Preset selection (assignable up to 20 cameras)
- Macro selection (assignable up to 20 cameras)
- Camera & preset (assignable up to 10 cameras and 10 presets)
- Camera & macro (assignable up to 10 cameras and 10 macros)
Each switch includes a built-in LCD indicator showing the assigned mode, supporting quick and accurate execution during live production.
Configuration & Workflow
Device settings can be configured via a web browser on a connected PC, supporting batch assignment of IP addresses and camera numbers to reduce setup time in larger systems.
Video & Connectivity
The AW-RP200GJ includes 3G-SDI input and supports IP video input via NDI® High Bandwidth and SRT, allowing camera feeds to be monitored directly on the controller’s LCD or via SDI output.
