Touchscreen Interface
The touch panel GUI monitor supports camera image display during shooting as well as a variety of operations. The panel is equipped only with buttons that are frequently used, with menu and camera switching operations, indicators, and other functions consolidated in the touch panel GUI.

Equipped with Touch Focus
The focus is quickly aligned to the area touched by tapping the screen. In addition, the Focus in Red display assists with aligning focus by framing the part that is in-focus in red.

Multi-Camera Deployment
Scene files, system settings files, and other camera settings can be saved on the AW-RP150GJ SD card. These settings can then be copied to multiple cameras via the SD card. This massively reduces on-location setup time when shooting at events with large numbers of cameras. The IP connection via a switching hub can be used to control up to 200 remote cameras. Up to 5 remote cameras can be controlled in a serial connection.

Multiple HD Sources
The cropping function loaded on the AW-UE150 can be controlled from the AW-RP150. Images output from the AW-UE150 to the monitor can be cropped in three different locations displayed with colored frames (yellow/ green/magenta), and fine-tuned with the joystick as you watch. Required images can be cropped precisely and simply.

Preset Memory
Registration of the camera angle and other remote camera settings allows them to be easily recalled from the touch panel GUI monitor. The movement speed for playback of the preset memory can be set by the specified speed or time.

Camera Tracing Memory
The tracing memory function records a series of operations performed for the remote camera. Up to 5 minutes for 10 operations can be memorized for a single camera, and that trajectory can then be reproduced.

Moves Like Jagger
Remote camera pan, tilt, and zoom control have been integrated into a single joystick on the AW-RP150, allowing for some of the smoothest moves possible. Simultaneously zoom in/out as you frame up a live shot.
