Panasonic has introduced a new auto-framing feature to its PTZ cameras that it says delivers automated video content suitable for broadcasting and video production.
The new feature includes auto tracking, image recognition and natural auto framing, and delivers exact user-defined camera framing for enhanced on-site efficiency and high-quality content, added Panasonic.
The Advanced Auto Framing plug-in for Panasonic’s Media Production Suite can be activated with a software key, and will enable auto framing for Panasonic PTZ cameras including the AW-UE160W/K, AW-UE150W/K, AW-UE100W/K and AW-UE80W/K. The plug-in will support multi-camera setup for auto framing while facial recognition technology will enable optimal framing for specified individuals.
The new auto-framing feature for the AW-UE160W/K will be usable on any PC that meets the Media Production Suite’s basic operating requirements.
“The consumption of video content via streaming platforms and web-based broadcasts is skyrocketing,” said Andre Meterian, director of professional video systems for Panasonic Connect Europe.
“This trend has dramatically increased the need to optimise human resources and technical systems to ensure the stable production and delivery of high-quality content across broadcast networks, production houses and live-event coverage. Panasonic’s auto framing software will deliver high-quality framing for advanced content production in broadcast studios and live event shooting with PTZ cameras, contributing to more efficient on-site workflows.”
