Installation of Panasonic Cameras
The Broadcast Pix system can control a wide-range of Panasonic cameras in the
AW series, including the AW-HE100, AW-PH400 and other Panasonic pan-tilt
camera control systems. Panasonic controlled cameras are connected using a
RS-422 serial connection, with a maximum connection length of 1200 meters
(4000 feet).
If controlling an AW-PH300 or AW-PH300A camera system, the the AW-CA28T9
serial cable needs to be ordered from Panasonic, for proper operation . These
camera systems connect using a RS-232C serial connection, with a maximum
connection length of 15 meters (50 feet). If controlling a AW-HE50, the AW-
CA20T6 multi-interface cable needs to be ordered from Panasonic, since control is
through a serial connection.
If controlling an IP controllable camera, like a AW-HE50, the camera must have a
dedicated IP address with the same subnet as the Broadcast Pix system of
192.168.53.XXX. These settings are configurable using a web browser connected
