A license code for the PTZ cameras support in the Slidelink 3.0 network module.


To meet our clients' expectations, we incorporated the most common PTZ protocols into our new Ethernet system. Thanks to this software upgrade, you can control PTZ camera with the KAIROS controller or the SLIDEYE 2.0 software. This system works natively with Panasonic, Sony and Canon PTZ cameras.

With the unique architecture of the SLIDELINK v3.0 communication module, you can build a set of devices which contains a PTZ head combined with a Slidekamera slider and use all drives in sync, using only one controller. We recommend using the Ethernet-enabled PSU 320E Power Supply Unit. This solution gives you the easiest connection and cleanest cable management.
You can work with the remote head in Live mode or use KAIROS to access presets of all parameters. Keyframes and motion paths designed with the KAIROS controller also works with other SLIDEKAMERA axes connected to the panel, making the system coherent and easy to use.

SECURE MOUNTING - optional AF-48 adapter

The AF-48 quick-mount adapter lets you quickly and safely fasten your equipment. With Panasonic cameras, you can use the native PTZ's mounting plate to raise the head's rigidity.
This adapter is compatible with all Slidekamera sliders, tripods and jibs.

If you use Panasonic system in your studio, you can use the panel you already have to control both, the PTZ camera and the slider. All presets will be played back in sync on all axes, and you'll be able to control the slider using the spare zoom rocker on the joystick.
