Overview

The Panasonic AW-UR100 with Showcaller

The Panasonic AW-UR100 is an outdoor 4K PTZ camera. Panasonic rates it IP65 for water and dust. It works from -15 °C to 45 °C, and a wiper, heater and defroster come as standard. It has a 1/2.5-type 4K MOS sensor and a 24x optical zoom. It outputs 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI and SFP+ fiber. Over IP, it streams H.264, H.265, SRT and NDI, in High Bandwidth or NDI|HX2. Showcaller AI runs the Panasonic AW-UR100 by voice or chat over its LAN port.

Why the Panasonic AW-UR100 suits voice control

An outdoor camera often sits on a mast, a roof or a gantry. During a show, nobody stands next to it. So the operator needs a quick way to move it and check it. For instance, they can ask which preset the camera recalled last. They can also read its pan, tilt and lens position. That makes a remote check before a stream start much faster.

How Showcaller connects

Showcaller connects through the Showcaller Bridge App, a small app on a computer on the show network. It sends Panasonic’s own IP control commands over HTTP, on port 80 by default. Then the operator asks in plain words, by voice or in chat. For example, they can say camera 2, recall preset 4 or send camera 1 home. They can also say pan left slowly and then stop. Before it stores a preset, Showcaller asks the operator to confirm. After a move or a mode change, it reads the camera’s state back where the camera reports it.

Note what Showcaller does not do on this model. The wiper, washer, heater and defroster have no Tool Function. Run those from Panasonic’s own controllers or web interface instead.

Tool Functions by plan
