Characteristics
Multiple number of formats supported
Integrated pan-tilt head unit, camera and lens to
facilitate installation
pp By designing the camera, lens and pan‑tilt head as a
single integrated unit, the time taken for the installation
work has been drastically reduced.
pp Switching between the 1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p and
480/59.94i formats can be accomplished using a menu.
By using VIDEO OUT signals, HD format signals and SD
format signals can be output at the same time.
pp With the SD format, either Squeeze (16:9), LetterBox
(16:9) or SideCut (4:3) can be selected.
Use of easy-to-operate wireless remote control (optional
accessory) is possible
1/3-inch MOS sensor and high-performance 18 zoom
lens featured
pp A wireless remote control capable of operating up to four
units can be used.
pp A newly developed 1/3‑inch full HD MOS sensor and
DSP (digital signal processor) are incorporated.
High‑quality pictures are obtained by video processing in
many different kinds of ways.
It can easily be used to set the various functions or switch
between them while viewing the menu screens.
pp In addition to its optical 18 zoom lens, the unit comes
with a 10 digital zoom to achieve high‑quality images
that overflow with ambiance.
pp A dynamic range stretch (DRS) function that
compensates for overexposure and loss of dark detail
and a new hybrid digital noise reduction (Hybrid DNR)
function for minimizing image lag even in dark locations
and shooting scenes clearly are incorporated to
reproduce clean and clear images in a wide range of
applications.
Flexible camera layout enabled by simple connection
and installation
pp This unit features excellent connectivity and installability
thanks to the IP control; a lightweight main unit, and the
turn‑lock mechanism, which enables the user to install it
on his or her own (only when used indoors).
Energy-savings achieved by the compact main unit
design
pp By slimming down the unit’s weight and dimensions,
a low power consumption is yielded, and even the
connection of a multiple number of units poses no
concerns.
Easy operation of unit enabled by its integration with a
high-performance pan-tilt head unit
pp Operations at the high speed of 90°/s
pp Wide rotational angles with a panning range of 175° and
a tilting range from –30° to +90°
pp Quiet operation with noise levels of NC35 (normal speed)
and NC40 (when preset)
Easy connections and settings courtesy of IP control
pp Up to a hundred units can be operated by IP connection
from a Panasonic controller (AW‑RP50).
pp Storage of up to 100 positions in the preset memory
(The number of preset memory settings differs depending
on the controller that is used with the unit.)
(The maximum length of the LAN cables is 100 meters
[328 ft.].)
pp By automatically recognizing the IP addresses and
changing their allocation, the previous restrictions on
the connections between the cameras and controllers
using serial interfaces and the time and trouble taken
to establish the various settings can be significantly
reduced, and by configuring a network, flexible camera
control can be implemented anywhere with any of the
cameras.
High degree of compatibility with Panasonic’s currently
available controllers, enabling a flexible system to be
put together
pp A maximum of five units can be operated by serial control
from one of Panasonic’s currently available controllers
(AW‑RP655, AW‑RP555 and AW‑RP50).
(It may be necessary to upgrade the version of the
controller in order to support the unit. The maximum
distances between the units and controller is 1000 meters
(3280 ft.). Use of an external device or some other means
must be provided separately in order to extend the video
signal connections.)
The unit can also be used together with the cameras
and pan‑tilt head unit systems currently available from
Panasonic System Networks Co., Ltd. so that an existing
system can be used to advantage to put together a
system that is even more flexible.

Installation precautions
Connecting the power cable
Be absolutely sure to use the bracket and screws
supplied when installing the unit.
pp Do not mount the unit by employing any methods other
Be absolutely sure to connect the power cable of the
AC adapter through a circuit breaker using one of the
following methods.
than those specified.
(1) Connect the power cable through a power control unit.
(2) Connect the power cable to a circuit breaker in a
power distribution panel with a contact distance of
3.0 mm or more.
pp Do not remodel the mounting bracket or mounting screws
provided with the unit.
Tightening up the mounting screws
Use a circuit breaker which is capable of shutting
off all the poles of the main power supply with the
exception of the protective ground conductor.
(3) Install the AC adapter near the power outlet, and
connect it through the power plug.
pp Tighten up the screws and bolts securely to the degree
that is appropriate for each of the materials used in the
mounting location and structures.
pp After tightening up the screws and bolts, check that
there is no unsteadiness and that the parts have been
tightened securely.
Grounding
pp Use the specified tools and tighten the screws firmly.
Before using the unit, check that the grounding wire has
been fastened securely.
Check the grounding resistance (less than 100 ) of the
grounding terminal.
When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not
leave it lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose
of it properly.
When the power plug is to be converted into a 2‑pin plug
for use, first consult with your dealer. Then use a plug
adapter which is equipped with a grounding terminal, and be
absolutely sure to connect this terminal to ground.
In a case like this, be absolutely sure to make the
connection to ground before proceeding to connect the
power plug to the main power source.
For details on how to remove the unit, refer to “Removing
the camera” (page 26).
When installing, transferring or disposing of the unit, be
absolutely sure to hold it by its pedestal area.
Problems may result if the camera head is held or rotated.
Similarly, before the ground connection is
to be disconnected, be absolutely sure to
disconnect the power plug from the main
power source first.
Do not attach a filter, hood, extender or other parts to
the unit.
Use the dedicated AC adapter and power cable provided
with the unit.
If there is a possibility of noise interference
Either wire the cables so that the power cable (ceiling light
cord) of AC 100 V or more, and the signal cable are placed
at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.) apart. Alternatively run each cable
through its own metal conduit. (The metal conduits must be
grounded.)
Connect the AC adapter and power cable to the power inlet
securely.
Installing the AC adapter
pp Do not place the adapter directly onto a ceiling panel or
other such surface.
Extreme danger is posed when water has collected on
the surface as a result of leaking rain, for instance.
Secure the adapter firmly to the bottom or other surface
of a reinforcing member made of channel steel where
dust and other foreign matter will not accumulate.
(Refer to page 24.)
Radio signal interference
If the unit is positioned near a TV or radio transmitting
antenna or a strong electrical field or magnetic field (such as
that generated by a motor, transformer or power lines), its
images may be distorted and/or the images may be affected
by noise.
pp Secure the adapter firmly so that there will be no chance
that it will fall off or fall down.
When connecting the cables, ensure that the connector
areas will not be subject to any load.
Secure it using a strength which can withstand the mass
(approx. 320 g [0.71 lbs.]) of the AC adapter.
Doing so may cause malfunctioning.
Install the accessory AC adapter near the main power
outlet, and position it in such a way that its power plug
can be plugged into and unplugged from the outlet easily.
When connecting the AC adapter to a power outlet on the
ceiling or on any other surface where dust may collect, wipe
off the dust on the power plug at periodic intervals as an
anti‑tracking measure.
Allowing the generated heat to escape
This unit allows the heat generated inside to escape from its
surfaces.
Do not install the unit in a location where it will be
surrounded by walls or other surfaces and where heat will
be trapped.
Power switch
This unit does not have a power switch. The power turns
on when its power plug is connected to a power outlet.
When the power is turned on, the pan, tilt, zoom and
focusing operations are performed. Before proceeding with
maintenance, be absolutely sure to disconnect the power
plug from the power outlet.
IMPORTANT
pp The product name and its electrical ratings are
marked on its bottom panel.

Operating precautions
Zooming and focusing
When the focus is set manually, out‑of‑focusing may occur
during zooming.
Shoot under the proper lighting conditions.
To produce pictures with eye‑pleasing colors, shoot under
the proper lighting conditions.
After zooming, if necessary, either adjust the focus or set the
focus to auto.
The pictures may not appear with their proper colors when
shooting under fluorescent lights.
When using the focus at the manual setting, proceed with
zooming after setting the focus position at the Tele end
where the focusing accuracy is higher.
Select the proper lighting as required.
To ensure a stable performance in the long term
Using the unit for prolonged periods in locations where the
temperature and humidity levels are high will cause its parts
to deteriorate, resulting in a reduction of its service life.
(Recommended temperature: Max. 35 °C [95 °F])
Ensure that a cooling unit or heating unit will not blow any
air directly toward the installation location.
(However, if the distance from the unit to the subject is less
than 1.5 meters [4.92 ft.], the subject may shift out of focus
at the Wide end.)
If zooming is performed to the Tele end after having adjusted
the focus at the Wide end, out‑of‑focusing may occur.
Concerning the zoom position when the power is turned
on
When the unit’s power is turned on, the zoom, focus and iris
return to the positions they occupied immediately before the
power was turned off. (This happens for the focus and iris
when they were set manually.)
Image persistence on the MOS sensor color filters
If parts of the MOS sensor are exposed continuously to
spotlights or other bright lights, the color filters inside the
MOS sensor will deteriorate, and the parts concerned may
become discolored. The discoloration may be noticeable
when the direction of fixed monitoring is changed.
However, this position may not be restored if, for instance,
the power cable was disconnected during operation.
The unit comes with the safe mode.
The safe mode is function designed to protect the unit from
damage.
For further details, refer to “Safe mode” (page 83 in the
<Operations and Settings>).
Do not point the camera at strong
Bright subject
lights.
When parts of the MOS sensor are
exposed to spotlights or other strong
lights, blooming (a phenomenon where
the edges of strong lights become
blurred) may occur.
Operating temperature range
Avoid using the unit in cold locations where the temperature
drops below 0 °C (32 °F) or hot locations where the
temperature rises above +40 °C (104 °F) since these
temperatures downgrade the picture quality and adversely
affect the internal parts.
Blooming
Concerning the color reproduction of MOS sensors
Depending on the color tones of the subjects, the color
reproduction may deteriorate: This is normal and not
indicative of any trouble.
Concerning the VIDEO OUT signal
The VIDEO OUT signal of the MULTI‑I/F connector is
provided in case the images are to be monitored.
What happens with high-brightness subjects
Flare may occur if an extremely bright light source is pointed
at the lens. In a case like this, change the angle or take
some other remedial action.
Color bars
pp Color bars are used to adjust the color phase, and the
widths and positions of these bars may differ from other
models.
pp The setting for the Down CONV. Mode item when color
bars are displayed is fixed at “Squeeze”.
If “SideCut” or “LetterBox” has been selected, the HDMI
output will not appear for a few seconds when the color
bar display is set to ON or OFF.
When using the automatic functions
pp If “FullAuto” has been selected as the setting for Scene
on the camera menu, for example, all the auto settings
will be turned on, and manual operations will no longer be
possible for some of the items.
pp When using the ATW (auto tracking white adjustment)
function under fluorescent lights, the white balance may
vary.
pp In some situations, it may be hard to focus at the auto
setting. In cases like this, select the manual setting, and
focus manually.
pp The appropriate brightness may not be obtained when
shooting bright objects using the auto settings for the
gain and iris. In cases like this, set the shutter speed to
manual, and adjust.

lying around, but be absolutely sure to dispose of it properly.
Use the unit in an environment with minimal moisture
and dust.
Avoid using the unit in an environment with high
concentration of moisture or dust since these conditions will
damage the internal parts.
Do not touch the optical system parts.
The optical system parts are the very heart of the camera.
Under no circumstances must they be touched.
In the unlikely event that they have become dusty, remove
the dust by using a camera blower or by wiping them gently
with a lens cleaning paper.
Disposal of the unit
When the unit has reached the end of its service life and is
to be disposed of, ask a qualified contractor to dispose of
the unit properly in order to protect the environment.
Personal computer used
If the same image is displayed for a prolonged period on a
PC monitor, the monitor may be damaged. Use of a screen
saver is recommended.
Do not allow foreign matter to make contact with the
rotating parts.
Otherwise, trouble may be caused.
Self-diagnosis function
When an abnormal operation caused by the effects of
extraneous noise or other factors continues for more
than 30 seconds during use, the unit’s reset operation
will automatically be triggered, after which the unit will
restart. After it has started up again, the same initialization
operation as when the power is turned on will be performed.
If abnormal operations occur frequently, it may be because
high levels of extraneous noise are being generated in the
environment where the camera has been installed.
These events will cause problems in the camera so consult
with your dealer as soon as possible.
Keep the unit away from water.
Avoid all direct contact with water. Otherwise, problems may

How to install and connect the unit
Be absolutely sure to read through the “Installation precautions” on pages 10 to 11.
The procedure given here is for the kind of installation where the unit is suspended from an overhead surface, but the same
steps are followed for a stand‑alone installation.
If the ceiling panel is not strong enough to bear the unit’s weight, use the kind of mount bracket that is supported
by anchor bolts between the concrete ceiling and ceiling panel.The unit supports the WV-Q105 direct ceiling mount
bracket which is used solely for combination cameras. Use this bracket to install the unit. (See page 24)
In a case like this, the holes (ø 60 mm [ø 2-3/8˝]) for installing the direct ceiling mount bracket on the ceiling must be
drilled in the ceiling panel.
It is also recommended that you provide an inspection space or opening for access purposes in the area near where
the equipment is installed in order to facilitate installation and the wiring connections work.

because this will cause signal attenuation.
pp If a subject has suddenly crossed in front of the camera, it may

sensor.
The subjects appear
distorted
This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
pp With a MOS image sensor, the shooting timing differs slightly
between the top left and bottom right of the screen.This means
that when the flash is fired, the bottom of the screen will become
lighter in the field concerned and the top will become lighter in
the next field.
When the flash is fired
during shooting, only
the top or bottom of
the screen becomes
lighter

This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
pp These phenomena (flicker) may occur under the illumination
produced by fluorescent lighting, mercury bulbs or other types of
discharge tubes.
The brightness
changes cyclically or
the colors change,
and horizontal stripes
can be seen passing

This is normal and not indicative of any problem.
At a time like this, it is recommended that the electronic shutter
speed be set to 1/100 in areas with a 50 Hz power line frequency
or to OFF in areas with a 60 Hz power line frequency.
–––

When fine lines or
cyclical patterns are
shot, flickering is seen
or coloring is added to
them
pp This phenomenon occurs because the pixels are arranged
systematically on each image sensor. It is noticeable when the
spatial frequency of a subject and the pixel pitch are brought into

White balance adjustment
wwWhite balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio
between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the
white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the
white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire
screen will also be degraded.
qwAutomatic adjustment
(AWB: AWB A or AWB B)
1
Shoot a white subject (such as a white wall or
handkerchief) so that it fills the screen.
pw This adjustment must be performed when using the
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been
used for a prolonged period.
pw Do not shoot shiny or very bright objects.
pw It must be performed when the lighting conditions or
brightness has changed.
When performing the operations
using the wireless remote control
Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which
initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the
controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking
white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the
white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.
pw Steps 2 through 8 represent the procedure for selecting
the “AWB A” or “AWB B” memory. They need not be taken
if a selection has already been made.
The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two
memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been
selected for the white balance.
2
Select Manual1, Manual2 or Manual3 as the
shooting mode by following the procedure in
“Selecting the shooting modes (scene files)
(page 10).
pw Once the white balance has been adjusted when the
unit is used with the same settings and under the same
conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a
menu setting or pressing a button on the controller.
There is no need to set it again.

qwAuto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the
light source or color temperature has changed to produce
completely natural pictures.
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the controller.
Notes
pw White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting
of the object is too weak.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of
“AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 22).
pw Since the unit has a built‑in memory, the set white
balance will remain in the memory even if power is
turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the
white balance if the color temperature of those objects
remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the
color temperature changes, such as when you move
from indoors to outside, or vice versa.
Notes
pw ATW might not function properly when high brightness
light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
pw White balance may not be accurately set if there is no
white object in the scene being shot.
pw The white balance may shift out of adjustment when
a different kind of light source such as sunlight or
fluorescent lighting applies.

Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]
This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation
level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is
selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is
selected as the “Gamma Type” setting.
When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and
composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle
gradient in the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is
sharper.
Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark
area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter
tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in
the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.
Back Light COMP. [Off, On]
“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation
function.
Under backlight conditions, the function prevents
darkening as a result of light striking the backs of
subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade
or shadow more brightly.
The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected
as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.

level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is
selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is
selected as the “Gamma Type” setting.
When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and
composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle
gradient in the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is
sharper.
Detail [Off, Low, High]
The image detail (image sharpness) is adjusted here.
When “Low” or “High” is selected, the detail is enhanced.
Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark
area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter
tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in
the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.
Flesh Tone Mode [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the flesh tone mode for displaying the
subjects’ skin so that it appears more smoothly and
eye‑pleasingly.
When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced
even more.
Back Light COMP. [Off, On]
“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation
function.
Under backlight conditions, the function prevents
darkening as a result of light striking the backs of
subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade
or shadow more brightly.

Limiters
This unit comes with settings (referred to as “limiters”) that
restrict the panning and tilting movement ranges.
Depending on where the unit has been installed, a subject
which the user does not wish to be shot may be present in
the movement ranges.
In a case like this, the unit’s shooting range can be limited
by setting the limiters at the positions just before the subject
which the user does not wish to be shot.
The positions of four limiters — namely, the upper, lower,
left‑most and right‑most limits of the travel range — can be
set.
Once they have been set, the positions will not be lost even
after the power has been turned off.
The limiters can be set or released both by the wireless
remote control and controller or web setting screen.
Whatever was set or released last takes precedence.
For the controller operations, refer to the Operating
Instructions of the controller.
The settings of the limiters using the wireless remote control
will be described here.
