Panasonic Taps Into Easy Remote Camera Control

The Control Assist Camera (AW-HEA10) is set to launch in March 2015 and enables quick and easy remote camera control, allowing the user to simply tap on the tablet screen where they want the camera to point.

The system speeds up long, remote camera movements and works in collaboration with joystick control, which could then be used to make small adjustments to the remote camera's position.

The quick tap' technique means action won't be missed by slow camera control, while using IP image transmission also allows the user to roam with the tablet, seeing areas out of view from the cameras.

Non-camera specialists can effectively control navigation with the system, opening up a variety of applications in conferencing and education. The easy operation means there is no need for specialist camera support, reducing costs and allowing more organisations to utilise a remote camera facility.

Panasonic partners VidiGo make software compatible with the system. VidiGo Live is an application used widely by radio stations to have visual radio' content online. Peter Ijkhout CTO, VidiGo, said, The key to any successful, new workflow is how easy it is to use, you always hope for intuitive use by a non-technical operator.

The Tap Camera System, as an add-on to the Panasonic pan and tilt remote cameras, and our user interface shows how, when two companies work together, this can be achieved. I am very excited to be able to show this at IBC, we think this camera workflow will change the way people work with remote operated cameras, he said.
