v1.3.19 · 10 Nov 2026 · Windows and MacDiscover cameras (replaces “Ranges”): suggests the networks to scan — the PC's network cards, the system routes, the cameras already in the list and the NDI sources —, recognises PTZ cameras by their MAC and flags possible cameras of another brand. It only asks for the model and never touches the cameras. Tally light on every card: a red “ON AIR” and a green “PREVIEW”, read from the camera; the app only reads the status and never sends control commands because of this. The installer checks for the WebView2 Runtime and warns you, with the official link, if it is missing. Tested only with simulated cameras: the tally reading follows Panasonic's specification (the #TAA command) and still has to be confirmed on a real camera; recognition by MAC only works on the same local network. It keeps everything that came in earlier versions.
v1.3.18 · 9 Nov 2026 · Windows and MacStandby at a glance. If a camera answers control commands but is in standby (so it has no picture), its card shows a red STANDBY and the picture explains why; while it is waking up it shows an amber CONNECTING…, and the label disappears by itself when the camera wakes up. The app only asks for the status (#O) and never switches the camera on or off. Tested only with a simulated camera: the format of the UE150's reply follows Panasonic's manual and still has to be confirmed on a real camera. It keeps everything that came in earlier versions (interface zoom with Ctrl/Cmd + wheel, buttons outside the picture, collapsible controls, iris and “View only”).
v1.3.16 · 9 Nov 2026 · Windows and MacInterface zoom: Ctrl + mouse wheel (on the Mac also Cmd + wheel), or Ctrl + “+”, Ctrl + “−” and Ctrl + 0 (back to 100 %), from 50 % to 300 % in 10 % steps, so many cameras fit and are easy to see. The value (“120 %”) is shown and remembered. The grid gets more or fewer columns without breaking the top bar or the controls (at 100 % that is 3 columns with 4 cameras, at 150 % it is 2 and at 70 % it is 4). It only changes the size of what you see: the wheel never sends commands to the cameras (without Ctrl it only scrolls the page) and, with “View only”, it still sends nothing.
v1.3.15 · 9 Nov 2026 · WindowsClean video: the buttons move off the picture into a bar above it (NDI / HTTP / RTSP, the “HTTP · fps” label, WAVE / VECTOR and the enlarge button are always visible, but outside the video); there are no buttons inside the picture any more. Collapsible controls: the ▴ arrow at the top of each camera hides its controls (directions, zoom, speeds, iris and presets), leaving just the picture and the scopes; the “Controls” chip at the top does the same for all cameras. With everything collapsed the pictures get much bigger, and each camera's choice is remembered. Mac BETA 1.3.15 comes later.
v1.3.14 · 9 Nov 2026 · Windows and MacIris (Panasonic cameras, on the selected camera): AUTO and MAN buttons; “−” closes and “+” opens the iris (press and hold to repeat) and a bar shows the position read from the camera. The commands come from the AW-UE160 family manual and were only tested with a simulated camera, so check with your own camera before relying on them at an event. “View only” mode: a button at the top that makes the console only read the video and the status, without sending any command to the cameras (move, zoom, presets, iris, stop), to test safely on cameras that are not yours. NDI missing: if the NDI Runtime is not installed, the card says how to install it (ndi.link/NDIRedistV6); the Windows installer includes the NDI library licence. Mac BETA: the same console for Apple Silicon and Intel; the server no longer asks the network for the computer's name at startup (on the Mac that took over 1 minute).
v1.3.13 · 9 Nov 2026 · Mac BETAFirst version for the Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), in BETA: it has not been tested on a real Mac yet. It is the same console (Panasonic and VISCA cameras, NDI, HTTP and RTSP video, WAVE and VECTOR scopes, presets and tally). On the Mac, NDI needs NDI Tools or the NDI Runtime (free); without it the console uses HTTP or RTSP video and says why on the card. New: the “View only” button at the top, which makes the console only read the video and the status, without sending any command to the cameras (move, zoom, presets, stop), to test safely on cameras that are not yours; it can also be forced at startup with PTZCONSOLE_SO_VER=1. The Windows version with “View only” is not out yet.
v1.3.11 · 9 Nov 2026Summary of everything that has changed since 1.2.4. Scopes per camera: in the corner of the video, “WAVE” (luma waveform, 0–100 %, with the clipping zone in red and the reading “CLIPPING n %”, to see whether the iris is blowing out) and “VECTOR” (colour, with the R MG B CY G YL targets and the skin-tone line); switch on one, the other, both or neither, camera by camera, or all at once with the “Waveform” and “Vector” buttons at the top. They are computed on screen, from the card's picture, and don't touch the camera. NDI: receives full NDI and NDI|HX; if a camera only shows the green “NDI HX” screen, that camera's NDI|HX licence is not activated (ndi.link/ndihx): the card says “NDI HX not activated” and uses HTTP video, instead of freezing. VISCA cameras: it also controls VISCA-over-IP cameras (it finds the port by itself: TCP 1259 and 5678, UDP 52381 and 1259), with the picture over NDI or RTSP (camera login in the ⋯ menu). More: only the selected camera obeys (the others stay “in view”); green tally on the preset the camera is at, even when another controller recalls it; NDI / HTTP / RTSP selector per camera; “Search” only on wired networks and without touching the cameras; the tablet address shows Wi-Fi and wired; full-screen button.
v1.2.4 · 3 Nov 2026In each camera's ⋯ menu, “Choose the NDI source…” shows the NDI sources the PC can see and lets you pick the camera's (useful when the NDI comes from another device, for example that camera's input on a vMix, and doesn't have the camera's IP). When the chosen NDI gives no picture, the video says why. For the camera itself to output NDI, the AW-HE130K has to be in “NDI|HX” mode (Setup → Image/Audio → Video over IP).
v1.2.3 · 3 Nov 2026The NDI search now asks the configured cameras' IPs directly, so it finds the NDI source even when the PC and the camera are on different networks (the normal search doesn't cross from one network to another) and connects through that path. HTTP video uses the camera's continuous MJPEG stream (many more frames per second than requesting them one at a time), with the picture saying whether it is “NDI” or “HTTP” and at what rate.
v1.2.2 · 3 Nov 2026Much smoother video: NDI stops jumping (the picture arrives as a continuous stream, always the most recent frame) and each video shows where it comes from and at what rate, for example “NDI · 25 fps” or “HTTP · 16 fps”. The installer is lighter (22 MB instead of 32 MB).
v1.2.1 · 3 Nov 2026The app, the installer and the shortcut now have the camera icon (it was the mike apps one).
v1.2.0 · 3 Nov 2026Video over NDI: when the camera has NDI, the console connects to the NDI source with the same IP (receive only) and shows the “NDI” label; without NDI it uses the usual HTTP video. It comes with the NDI Runtime included and can be switched off in Settings. The search no longer lists controllers (for example the AW-RP panels) as cameras: only what answers as a Panasonic camera gets in.
v1.1.2 · 3 Nov 2026The middle dot of the direction pad becomes a joystick: press and drag, and the camera moves where you drag, faster the further you go; when you let go, it stops. “Open the configuration” for the camera always opens in Microsoft Edge (Panasonic's Live page doesn't open in every browser, for example Opera).
v1.1.1 · 3 Nov 2026What's new at hand: after updating, the top bar offers “see what's new” and opens this page at the new version. With a new version waiting to be downloaded, “What's new in vX” appears next to “update”.
v1.1.0 · 3 Nov 2026“Ranges”: scans ranges of private IPs (for example 192.168.7.0/24 or 192.168.7.100-115) looking for cameras on other networks, only reads the model and lets you add the ones it finds. In each camera's ⋯ menu, “Open the configuration” opens the camera's own page in the browser.
v1.0.0 · 3 Nov 2026First version: finds the cameras on the network, video, directions, zoom, speeds, presets P1 to P10 and control from the tablet too.
