Whether filming a concert, church service or sports event, a quality camera is vital to capture clear images. With Panasonic's PTZ cameras, Auto Framing helps keep the action in focus with features including auto tracking and human body detection.
The livestreaming market is projected to grow 23% from 2024 to 2030. Production teams need flexible and scalable AV tools to streamline operations in fast-paced and challenging environments to keep up with this growth. Panasonic Connect will meet these demands with new auto framing capabilities to help operators create on-site efficiencies and streamline the delivery of high-quality content.
The new capabilities will be available in an Auto Framing Feature for the AW-UE160 PTZ Camera and an Advanced Auto Framing plug-in for Panasonic’s Media Production Suite. The new auto framing feature incorporates auto tracking, image recognition, and auto framing technologies to deliver precise, user-defined camera framing for high quality, natural content. Framing pre-sets can be combined, including multi-subject group shots, while advanced human body detection allows consistent subject headroom.
The built-in Auto Framing Feature for Panasonic’s AW-UE160 PTZ camera will be available from CY2025 Q1 via firmware updates and the Advanced Auto Framing plug-in for Panasonic's Media Production Suite software platform will be available from CY2025 Q2. The Advanced Auto Framing plug-in will enable auto framing for various PTZs across the Panasonic lineup and will support multi-camera setup for auto framing to enhance subject-detection accuracy and operability while facial recognition technology enables optimal framing for specified individuals.
The new auto framing feature for the AW-UE160W/K can be used in conjunction with the AW-RP150GJ and AW-RP60GJ remote camera controllers, making it easy to fine-tune the camera angle during auto framing. In addition, synchronizing camera selection with auto framing in the Media Production Suite simplifies switching between auto and manual framing operations.
