Panasonic Entertainment & Communication Co., Ltd. announces Image Adjust Pro, a new plug-in for its Media Production Suite platform.
Designed for large, complex multi-camera production environments, Image Adjust Pro functions as a software-based remote operation panel (ROP), enabling production teams to centrally adjust image settings across multiple Panasonic studio and PTZ cameras from a PC or tablet. The plug in is scheduled for release in Q1 CY2026.
As production environments continue to scale in size and complexity, production teams are adopting software-based solutions that reduce hardware requirements while maintaining precise, consistent image control. Image Adjust Pro meets this demand with status monitoring and control of up to 20 Panasonic studio and PTZ cameras per license, reducing the need for physical ROPs to streamline production workflows.
The plug-in offers two intuitive interfaces to meet operator preferences and production needs, including a list view that displays the status of up to 20 cameras per license and a panel view that emulates a hardware ROP to display and control multiple cameras. With image-adjustment capabilities equivalent to Panasonic’s AK-HRP1010 ROP, Image Adjust Pro supports hybrid workflows that combine hardware ROPs for primary cameras with software-based control for additional units, reducing physical equipment while maintaining precise image control. In IP-based environments, the plug-in and hardware ROPs can operate in parallel to provide seamless, site-specific control.
Three GUI options are available for the control panel: a hardware-style layout that mirrors the AK-HRP1010 button configuration; a graphical layout similar to video editing software; and a customizable interface. These options support intuitive operation for both experienced and entry-level ROP operators across a wide range of workflows.
The plug-in can be accessed from multiple devices on the same network, such as laptops and tablets, enabling decentralized operation regardless of ROP placement. This allows directors to centrally monitor and manage the status of all cameras, and lighting and other technical staff to adjust settings directly from their stations. The result is a flexible, collaborative workflow that eliminates physical limitations and optimizes operational efficiency.
