1. Streamlining Camera Control and Image Adjustment
Compatible with a Wide Range of Studio and PTZ Cameras
In addition to Panasonic studio cameras, the plugin supports the control of PTZ cameras.* Even in large, complex multi-camera productions where various types of cameras are used, the plugin enables centralized control and image adjustment from a unified software interface, supporting smooth operation regardless of the camera model.
- * Initially compatible with the AK‑UCX100, AK‑UC4000/UC4000B, and AK‑UC3300 studio cameras, as well as the AW‑UE160 and AW‑UE150A PTZ cameras and the AK‑UBX100 multipurpose camera. Support for the AW‑UE150 and AW‑UR100 PTZ cameras will be added in a future update.
Concurrent Camera Status Monitoring and Adjustment
Users can choose from two intuitive interfaces: a list view that displays the status of up to 20 cameras per license, and a panel view that emulates a hardware ROP to display and control multiple cameras. In IP-based systems, the plugin and hardware ROPs can operate in parallel to provide seamless, tailored control for the specific needs of each production site.

2. Flexible Operation Without Space Constraints
Accessible from Multiple PCs and Tablets
In addition to the PC where the plug-in is installed, the plugin can be accessed from multiple devices on the same network, such as laptops and tablets, enabling decentralized operation regardless of ROP placement. This allows directors to centrally monitor camera status and manage all cameras, and lighting and other technical staff to adjust settings directly from their stations. The result is a flexible, collaborative workflow that eliminates physical limitations and optimizes operational efficiency.
Optimized Space Utilization and Streamlined Operation
This plugin offers image adjustment capabilities equal to those of the Panasonic AK-HRP1010 hardware ROP. For example, in production environments with a large number of cameras, frequently used main cameras can be controlled via a hardware ROP, while other units are operated with the plugin, reducing the required number of physical ROPs. The plugin also enables centralized adjustment of all system-connected cameras, supporting the efficient use of limited workspaces in compact control sites.
Three GUI Layouts Tailored to Various User Needs
Three distinct GUI options are available for the control panel: a hardware-style layout that mirrors the AK-HRP1010’s button configuration; a graphical layout reminiscent of video editing software; and a customizable UI that displays only essential controls.* These flexible options cater to both seasoned ROP operators and users with limited experience, supporting intuitive operation across a wide range of workflows.
- * The hardware layout interface is currently under development, so final specifications may differ. The graphical layout and custom UI are planned for future updates. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
