When all the operations have been completed successfully, the following message appears.

1.AUTO SET COMPLETE

The remote cameras can now be operated from the unit.

The function for linking the switcher with the unit can now be used.

zzWhen there is duplication between the IP addresses of the devices in operation and the IP addresses of the additional remote cameras to be introduced, the following message appears and the link settings are not configured.

1.AUTO SET

IP Duplicate!

Check the IP addresses of the additional remote cameras to be introduced, and then perform the auto IP setting operation again.

zzWhen setting the IP addresses failed, the following message appears.

1.AUTO SET

SET UP ERR!

The cause of the problem is likely to be a network malfunction. Check the connection status of the hub and LAN cables, and then retry the auto IP setting operation.

Connection device detection

zzWhen the number of new devices detected by “RENEW IP ADR” or “KEEP IP ADR” exceeds the number of devices that can be registered (100 remote cameras and 1 switcher), “C/S OVER!” appears on the bottom line of the LCD panel.

Auto IP setting can be executed even in this state, but IP addresses will be set only for the number of devices that can be registered.

C:020/100 S:1/1

C/S OVER! YES

zzThe unit may not be able to detect all of the remote cameras when, for example, multiple remote cameras are started at the same time. In such a case, select “RETRY” and then press the F2 dial to retry the operation.

zzWhen the number displayed for the number of new devices detected is lower than the actual number of devices to be set for reasons such as some of the remote cameras or the switcher not being powered on, resolve the problem and then select “RETRY” and press the F2 dial to execute the operation again.

C:020/020 S:1/1

RETRY

Notes

zzWhen adding another remote camera controller (AW-RP120 [this unit] or AW-RP50), set an IP address that is not a duplicate of any IP address within the same network before making the connection.

zzExecute auto IP setting when devices not applicable for auto IP setting (devices other than the remote cameras and switcher) are in a non-operation state. After executing auto IP setting, connect these devices after checking that there is no duplicate IP address within the same network.

AW-RP120G specifications

The Panasonic AW-RP120G is a sophisticated remote camera controller designed for broadcasting and production environments that require precise control over multiple pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras. This versatile controller offers an extensive range of features, making it a reliable choice for professionals in the field.

One of the key highlights of the AW-RP120G is its user-friendly interface. It incorporates a large, LCD touchscreen display that provides real-time information and control options for both novice and experienced operators. The layout is intuitive, enabling quick access to various settings without the need for complex configurations. This allows operators to focus on their production rather than getting mired in technical details.

The AW-RP120G is equipped with the capability to control up to 200 PTZ cameras simultaneously, which caters to large-scale productions. This flexibility is crucial in various settings, from live events to studio broadcasts, where multiple camera angles and shots are necessary. The controller utilizes IP connectivity and supports the Panasonic’s proprietary protocol, ensuring seamless operation across a networked environment.

Another standout characteristic of the AW-RP120G is its advanced preset management system. Users can store and recall up to 100 preset camera positions, eliminating the need to manually adjust each PTZ camera during a live performance. This feature significantly enhances workflow efficiency and allows for smooth transitions between camera angles.

The device further incorporates advanced technologies, such as PoE (Power over Ethernet) compatibility, which simplifies installation by allowing power and data to be transmitted over a single cable. This reduces clutter and streamlines setup processes, particularly in complex environments.

In terms of design, the AW-RP120G is compact and portable, making it easy to integrate into various production setups. It is built with durability in mind, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of frequent use in demanding environments.

Overall, the Panasonic AW-RP120G is a state-of-the-art remote controller that combines functionality, efficiency, and reliability. With its advanced features, it is an essential tool for any professional looking to elevate their camera operation capabilities in broadcasting and live event production. This makes it a valuable investment for those looking to enhance their production quality while streamlining their workflow.
