Panasonic’s new software assists automatic tracking of a person shot by a Panasonic Remote Camera. With the ability to track a single person, this software is well suited to such environments as education and video conferencing.

When activated on a PC connected to the same network as your camera system, the software automatically detects a person in front of a PTZ camera, and makes the camera follow that person to allow for easier control operations.

The use of "motion detection" technology makes it possible to track the subject with minimum tracking error regardless of where the person is facing. This allows to keep the lecturer tracked even when is writing on a blackboard showing his/her back to the camera.

The sensitivity of the tracking function can be adjusted to the amount of movement of the tracking target, therefore increasing accuracy. 

All current Panasonic PTZ software is PC-based only.

- Enhanced User Authentication Function
- AW-UE150 series was added to supported cameras.
- New “Human Body Detection” with “Deep Learning” (64-bit Version only)
- New stream support with H.264 & NDI|HX. 
- New “Use Face Data from Library” feature
- Pre-set GUI Improvement 
- Improvement of Face Recognition GUI

In addition to this, the autotracking software also includes the option to mask specified areas of the camera view to ensure that surrounding objects are not accidentally or unnecessarily detected.

PTZ Camera Series

AW-UE160

The AW-UE160 4K PTZ camera features a newly developed 4K 1” MOS sensor that offers the highest sensitivity of Panasonic’s entire PTZ lineup. Production teams shooting in a concert venue or a church can easily capture clear images even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the UE160’s new optical low pass filter reduces the effect of moiré for clearer picture quality when shooting against an LED wall, which is especially important for rental and staging or worship environments. Its high-speed frame rate will help sports broadcasters capture slow motion shots in HD for replays, while seamless integration with the robotic camera system brings live broadcast-style movements to the PTZ, resulting in a dynamic and highly engaging video production.
