Made available by Panasonic to easily calculate the viewing angle of its PTZ cameras, the calculator is online and is quick and easy to use
PTZ cameras are increasingly widespread, especially in virtual production contexts and broadcast applications. Being able to quickly and easily calculate the viewing angle of the cameras you use, thanks to an online version of the appropriate tool, without the need to download the Excel file, directly from the browser, is an undoubted advantage.
Panasonic, which actually boasts a rich line of PTZ cameras, is behind this practical online calculator in which it is sufficient to enter the distance or size of the object in the appropriate cells (“Object size” and “Object distance”) to obtain the values for each Panasonic PTZ camera model.
This is obviously not a new tool that has never existed before. The advantage, however, is the possibility of using it online, which entails immediate access, since it is not necessary to download or install any additional programs. Furthermore, the calculator is very easy to use: despite a particularly user-friendly interface, the calculations obtained are very precise and allow you to better position the cameras for the effect you want to obtain.
Finally, the use of this tool also translates into time savings: results are obtained in a few seconds, facilitating the planning and configuration of PTZ cameras.
Never like in this case: seeing is believing!
