Panasonic AW-RP150GJ — professional PTZ camera controller for live broadcast, streaming, and multi-camera event production

The Panasonic AW-RP150GJ touchscreen remote camera controller is the most capable controller in Panasonic's robotic camera lineup — built for live TV studios, streaming production environments, and large-venue events where camera operators need to manage multiple PTZ heads from a single station. It builds on the AW-RP120 and AW-RP50 with the improvements operators actually asked for: a redesigned one-hand joystick that handles both PTZ and focus simultaneously, a larger touch-panel LCD for live monitoring and menu control, and IP-based management that scales to 200 cameras over a single switching hub.

Whether you're pairing it with the AW-UE150 4K PTZ camera, the newer AW-UE160, or a mixed fleet of Panasonic HE and HN series cameras, the AW-RP150GJ fits cleanly into your existing broadcast infrastructure — SDI, IP, or serial RS-422. SKU: PAN-AW-RP150GJ5 | MPN: AW-RP150GJ5

Core capabilities

Why broadcast operators choose the AW-RP150GJ

Every feature on this controller was shaped by real-world feedback from working camera operators. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Large touchscreen GUI

Camera image display, switching, menus, and indicators all on one touch panel. Only the controls you actually reach for are on screen — nothing buried during a live segment.

One-hand joystick — PTZ and focus

Pan, tilt, zoom, and focus all from a single joystick. Your other hand stays free for cueing talent, flagging a director, or adjusting audio — essential on a live set.

Touch focus with Focus in Red

Tap any area of the live image to snap focus there instantly. The Focus in Red overlay outlines the sharpest region in red — no guesswork, no separate monitor required.

Preset memory with speed control

Save camera positions, angles, and settings. Recall with a single tap. Set playback speed by time or by rate to match any editorial transition style or director preference.

Camera tracing memory

Record up to 5 minutes of camera movement across 10 operations per camera. Reproduce that exact trajectory on cue — purpose-built for repeatable weekly broadcasts and house of worship productions.

IP control — up to 200 cameras

Connect via a switching hub over LAN with PoE+ and manage up to 200 remote Panasonic PTZ cameras simultaneously. Five cameras can also be controlled via direct RS-422 serial connection.

Touchscreen interface

Everything you need — nothing you don't

The touch panel GUI consolidates camera switching, live image monitoring, menu access, and indicators into one clean interface. Only the most frequently used controls appear on the panel — the RP150GJ is designed so operators never have to dig through sub-menus during a live segment.

Tap anywhere on the live image to pull focus to that region instantly. The Focus in Red display gives a clear visual confirmation without needing an external monitor — exactly what's needed during fast-moving live events.

Multi-camera deployment

Cut setup time on large-scale production events

Configure your scene files, system settings, and camera parameters once. Save everything to an SD card. Walk the floor and clone identical settings to every camera in the venue — what used to take hours of manual IP configuration now takes minutes.

For the largest deployments, IP control through a switching hub supports up to 200 remote cameras simultaneously. Five cameras can also be managed via direct RS-422 serial daisy chain for legacy or hybrid setups.

Multi-source HD workflow

Three crops from one camera — controlled live from the RP150GJ

Paired with the Panasonic AW-UE150, the AW-RP150GJ gives operators live control over the camera's built-in cropping function — producing three independently framed regions from a single camera head. Each region is color-coded (yellow, green, and magenta) and adjustable with the joystick while monitoring the output in real time. It is a cost-effective way to generate multi-angle coverage from a single high-quality PTZ head in constrained environments or tighter budgets.

Who it is built for

Real production environments where the AW-RP150GJ performs

Live TV broadcast

Preset recall and smooth one-hand joystick control during live segments. One operator, multiple cameras, zero fumbling on air.

Live streaming production

IP control over a switching hub means a single operator can manage the full multi-camera setup — no extra crew needed for professional results.

Events and conferences

SD card deployment slashes setup time on large-venue events. Clone settings to 50 or more cameras in minutes instead of hours of manual configuration.

House of worship and education

Tracing memory handles repeatable service and lecture camera moves automatically — no manually repeating the same sequence every session.
