Panasonic camera functions

Version 1.3.2 of the VRC software supports the AW-HE870 and AK-HC1800 HD

Panasonic cameras.

The camera has a special connector cable (available directly from Panasonic) that

needs to be used in conjunction with a null modem cable and out device master unit.

This needs to be configured in the UTBconfig.XML file.

These cameras are supported on Fusion, Radamec and Autocam heads; but the

SP2000 does not receive feedback status from the Panasonic devices.
