Panasonic, from one PTZ to the whole camera chain.
We sell the PTZ line, the RP controllers, the studio camera chains and the KAIROS production platform, and we design, install and support the rooms they go into.

platinum series ptz
One-inch 4K in a PTZ body.
The AW-UE160 and AW-UE150A both carry a one-inch 4K/60p sensor and a 20x zoom, with 12G-SDI and NDI High Bandwidth. We supply one camera or a fleet, and configure the controllers and network that run them.
AW-UE150A
PTZ cameras
Panasonic's US PTZ line runs in four series: Platinum, Premium, Pro and Outdoor. The differences that matter are sensor size, the outputs you can wire, and how the camera behaves in low light and on long lenses. Buy a single camera or a whole fleet. If the controller, mounts, cabling or network need working out, we configure those with the quote.
AW-UE160
One-inch 4K/60p sensor, 20x zoom, phase-detection autofocus and the highest sensitivity Panasonic rates in its PTZ line. 12G-SDI, fiber, NDI High Bandwidth and SRT are built in; SMPTE ST 2110 is a software key. This is the PTZ for a room where it has to cut against studio cameras.
Platinum series. For broadcast studios, flagship chambers and venue booths.
AW-UE150A
The successor to the widely installed UE150: one-inch 4K/60p, 20x zoom, an optical low-pass filter for LED walls, NDI High Bandwidth added, two 3G-SDI outputs beside 12G, and built-in auto tracking.
Platinum series. For studios, council chambers and lecture halls with LED walls.
AW-UE100
4K/60p with 24x zoom, NDI High Bandwidth and SRT both native, 12G-SDI and PoE++. The camera we rent as a three-camera kit with an RP150 controller, and a common fit for PEG access studios, campuses and corporate rooms.
Platinum series. For PEG access studios, campuses and corporate stages.
Premium seriesAW-UE80 · UE50 · UE40
24x zoom, 4K at 60p on the UE80 and 30p on the UE50 and UE40, NDI and SRT on all three, quiet drives for rooms that hear everything. The UE80 is the model Varto installed in Piscataway's council chamber and meeting rooms.
Pro seriesAW-UE30 · UE20 · UE5 · UE4
Meeting-room and classroom cameras. The UE5 and UE4 are ultra-wide fixed cameras with AI auto framing and group framing; the UE30 and UE20 add 20x and 12x optical zoom.
Outdoor seriesAW-UR100
IP65-rated 4K/60p with 24x zoom, 12G-SDI, fiber, SRT and PoE++, with wiper, heater and defroster. Scoreboard poles, stadium rims and campus exteriors.
Announced for 2027, not yet shippingAW-UE200 · UE210 · UER200 · UER210
Panasonic's first global-shutter PTZ cameras: a 1.2-type 5K sensor, 22x zoom, 80° field of view, and HD at up to 180 fps through a later firmware update. The 210 models add ST 2110 and Dante; the UER models roll for 9:16 and 16:9 from one camera. Panasonic schedules the UE200 series for February 2027 and the UER200 series for the second quarter of 2027. Ask us for current US timing before you plan around them.

Controllers and software
The controller decides how the room runs. A hardware panel gives an operator presets and a joystick; the software layer adds tracking, framing and matching across the fleet.
AW-RP200GJ
Panasonic's 2025 remote camera controller: dual joysticks so one hand can crop while the other frames, macro recording that replays a sequence of camera moves on one button, a built-in LCD, and control of up to 200 cameras. It accepts 3G-SDI, NDI High Bandwidth and SRT for monitoring.
AW-RP150GJ
The touch-panel controller in our rental kit and in PTZ rooms we have installed: a zoom and focus rocker on the joystick, preset and tracing memory, settings copied across cameras, and PoE+ so it powers from the switch. The compact AW-RP60GJ covers smaller rooms and mobile kits.
Media Production Suite, licensed per function.
Panasonic's Media Production Suite runs on a PC or tablet. Device Manager and PTZ Control are free; the plug-ins are licensed: Auto Tracking, Advanced Auto Framing, Visual Preset for one-click multi-camera angles, Video Mixer, and Image Adjust Pro, a software remote operation panel that shades up to 20 cameras at once across the UE160, UE150A, UCX100, UC4000, UC3300 and UBX100. Trial periods are available before you commit to a license.
KAIROS live production
KAIROS is Panasonic's IT/IP live production platform. It builds each scene from layers on a GPU instead of a fixed count of mix effects, mixes 4K and HD sources on one canvas, and feeds outputs of any aspect ratio. Sources arrive over SMPTE ST 2110, SDI and HDMI boards, SRT, and NDI on a small number of inputs.
KAIROS is worth considering when a production needs more layers than a fixed switcher frame offers, when sources already arrive over SMPTE ST 2110, when an LED wall or venue display is not 16:9, or when 4K and HD sources have to mix on one canvas.
Kairos Core 200 and Core 20004 RU mainframes
The same platform at two sizes: a canvas up to 8K or 12K, with SDI, HDMI and ST 2110 I/O chosen to fit the room.
Control panelsKC10C1 and KC10C2, current models
Two-fader panels with 24 or 12 crosspoints. Panasonic has announced three-M/E panels for 2027.
Compare the Core 200 and Core 2000, see what KAIROS connects to, and plan a system with us.
Studio cameras
A talk format, a news set or a flagship chamber with a shader on staff (the operator who matches exposure and color across cameras) needs a camera chain: the head, a camera control unit or an IP link, and a remote operation panel.
AK-UCX100
Panasonic's current 4K studio camera: 2,000 TV lines, HLG and SDR at once, an HD low-pass filter for LED walls, dual 12G-SDI, and IP operation without a CCU over NDI High Bandwidth, ST 2110 with JPEG XS, or SRT. With the AK-UCU700 camera control unit and the AK-HRP1010 or HRP1015 remote operation panels it runs as a conventional shaded chain. Panasonic lists autofocus as a firmware addition from December 2025.
Camera fiber adapters and remote operation panels, plus the AK-UC4000 and AK-HC3900 generations many rooms already run. Tell us what the room has and we will match to it.

Buying questions
Can a Panasonic PTZ cut next to our studio cameras?
Yes, with work. The UE160 and UE150A have the sensor size and sensitivity to sit beside a studio chain, and Image Adjust Pro or a hardware remote operation panel lets a shader match them. We can set that up and show you the cut before the room goes live.
Should we wait for the global-shutter UE200?
Only if your production needs what Panasonic says the global shutter brings: low-distortion images of fast-moving subjects and less flicker from stage lighting and LED effects. Panasonic schedules the UE200 series for February 2027 and the roll-capable UER200 for later that year; schedules can move. If you need cameras this season, the UE160 and UE150A are shipping now.
Which controller do we need?
For one operator running a fleet, the RP150 is the standard and the RP200 adds macros and a second joystick. For defined shots with nobody at a desk, the Auto Tracking and Advanced Auto Framing plug-ins can hold the framing; someone still sets the presets and watches the output. Whichever you choose, the camera outputs, tally and control get specified for the switcher the room runs.
Can we rent Panasonic PTZ cameras?
Yes, subject to fleet availability. Varto's rental fleet includes a Panasonic AW-UE100 three-camera kit with an RP150 controller.
