Introduction

The Device Core “Panasonic EVA1” is used for controlling the AU-EVA1 camera. The goal of this manual is

to help conﬁguring a SKAARHOJ interface to control features available in the Device Core at this present

time.

Multicam Control

Please notice with the release of UniSketch v2.4.16 Multicam Control have been enabled. Prior to v2.4.16

only a single camera could be controlled from the Device Core. With the update up to 4 cameras can be

controlled from a single Device Core. Please see information in the section “Multicam Control”

Setting up Camera

In order to control the camera a USB/Ethernet adapter must be utilized from the USB2.0 HOST port on the

camera. All communication between a SKAARHOJ interface and the camera is done via IP. The

implementation have been done on version 0.00-00-8.02.

Panasonic recommends to use Plugable USB 3.0 Gigabit Eathernet Adapter or UGREEN USB3.0 to RJ45

Ethernet Adapter 20256

account for authentication. You can use a different IP address as long as the Panasonic Device Core on the

SKAARHOJ controller reﬂects this.
