Cameras & PTZ Control
Panasonic PTZ Controller Software
Control for Panasonic Remote Camera Controllers (AW-RP series) via HTTP.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect Panasonic PTZ Controller to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the Panasonic PTZ Controller handler from the device type list (internal id
panasonic_controller). - Enter the IP address of your Panasonic PTZ Controller, then set protocol HTTP and port
80. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Panasonic PTZ Controller control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Panasonic PTZ Controller?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Panasonic PTZ Controller handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over HTTP, default port 80. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Panasonic PTZ Controller handler use?
HTTP, default port 80. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Panasonic PTZ Controller from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Panasonic PTZ Controller action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the Panasonic PTZ Controller handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (panasonic_controller.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control Panasonic PTZ Controller from a single interface
Fantago drives Panasonic PTZ Controller alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
