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 on all three and SRT on the UE80, 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. Instead of a fixed count of mix effects, it composes layers on a GPU, mixes 4K and HD sources on one canvas, including non-standard aspect ratios, and takes its inputs over SMPTE ST 2110, NDI High Bandwidth, SDI and HDMI boards, and SRT.
KAIROS is worth considering when a production needs more mix effects and layers than a fixed switcher frame offers, when sources already arrive over IP as SMPTE ST 2110 or NDI, 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 2000AT-KC2000S2 and KC2000X1
The 4 RU flagship: up to 64 ST 2110 inputs at 1080p and a canvas up to 12K, which is what lets one core drive an LED wall and a broadcast feed at once. Dual-core and network redundancy are available for rooms that cannot go dark.
Kairos Core 200AT-KC200L1 and KC200X1
The same platform for a smaller plant. The KC200L1 ships with SDI as standard, 24 inputs and 12 outputs in FHD, expandable to 32 and 16, so a room that is still on SDI can start here and add IP later.
Control panelsAT-KC10C1 and KC10C2, shipping now
AT-KC10C1 (two faders, 24 crosspoints, joystick) and AT-KC10C2 (two faders, 12 crosspoints) ship today. Kairos Creator on Windows or macOS configures the system, and a single panel can drive two cores.
AT-KP340 and KP330Announced for 2027, not yet shipping
Three-fader panels with 40 and 30 crosspoints for large productions, announced for the second and third quarters of 2027. Specifications are preliminary and can change.
We have run KAIROS on our own bench with Panasonic PTZs feeding it. Name the sources you have and we will tell you whether a GPU switcher fits your crew. Capacities depend on configuration; ask for the configuration behind any number.
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. Varto has built a Panasonic chain of this kind for a national daily show.
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 it fixes: banding under LED walls and rolling-shutter skew on fast pans. 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, whether that is TriCaster, KAIROS or Ross.
Can we rent before we buy?
Yes. Varto's rental fleet includes a Panasonic AW-UE100 three-camera kit with an RP150 controller.
