PTZ Controller<\/a> supports Panasonic protocol. It can control Panasonic PTZ cameras with your computer.<\/p>\n

\"PTZ<\/a><\/p>\n

PTZ Controller<\/a> supports the basic functions ,such as, Pan, Tilt and Zoom (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, NEAR, FAR), etc. <\/p>\n

PTZ Controller<\/a> also allows you to send custom command to your PTZ camera. You just need to set a command for a button on Customize panel, and the command will be send to your PTZ camera immediately when you click the button. Please refer to Send Custom Command in PTZ Controller<\/strong><\/a> to get more information. <\/p>\n

\"PTZ<\/a><\/p>\n

PTZ Controller<\/a> only supports sending HEX data to PTZ camera since most commands to control PTZ camera are in HEX. However, the commands for Panasonic camera are in TEXT. You need to convert the TEXT to HEX when you set the command in PTZ Controller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here is the structure of Single Command for Panasonic camera.<\/p>\n

STX AD01; GC7: XXX Y ZZZ ETX<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
STX<\/strong><\/td>\nStart of Text, always 0x02h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
AD01<\/strong><\/td>\nCamera address<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
;<\/strong><\/td>\nAlways 0x3Bh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
GC<\/strong><\/td>\nCommand Header, GC – Camera Control Command<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
7<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

Number of commands, 7 – 7Bytes Command<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

:<\/strong><\/td>\nAlways 0x3Ah<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
XXX<\/strong><\/td>\n\n

Command Destination, 002 – Camera Function, 202 – Receiver Function<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Y<\/strong><\/td>\nCommand Type, 1 – Control command, 0 – Status request command, 2 – Text data<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ZZZ<\/strong><\/td>\nFunction Code (Refer to command list of Panasonic protocol)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ETX<\/strong><\/td>\nEnd of Text, always 0x03h<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For example, if you want to send the command of \u201c180 DEG TURN\u201d \u2013 20213D1(Function Code), the command in HEX should be like this.<\/p>\n

\"Panasonic<\/a><\/p>\n

So, you need to input the HEX data \u201c02 41 44 30 31 3B 47 43 37 3A 32 30 32 31 33 44 31 03\u201d to Setting dialog in PTZ Controller.<\/p>\n

\"PTZ<\/a><\/p>\n

If you need to set more custom commands, you can use our N-Button<\/a> software. N-Button<\/a> allows you to create widgets\/buttons on your desktop to Send Custom Command<\/a> to your device.<\/p>\n
