We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of premium new technology that’s taking our AV hire offering to the next level. Whether you’re producing a hybrid event, streaming to thousands, or orchestrating a complex multi-camera production, we’ve invested in the gear that creates advanced routines.
Introducing the Barco E2 Gen 2
The Barco E2 Gen 2 has officially landed in our inventory, and it’s a gamechanger for any production requiring visual precision.
This powerhouse supports up to 40 inputs and 18 outputs including 16 4K inputs and 8 4K outputs, delivering the pixel-processing capability needed for today’s creative events. What sets it apart is the native 4K60p processing with full 12-bit colour depth, ensuring image quality and colour fidelity that is much more impressive than standard expectations.
Here’s where it gets interesting – the linkable chassis system. This feature lets you scale beyond a single frame without requiring additional external processing. If you need to expand your capabilities, The E2 Gen 2 grows with your production and removes the complexity and costs that typically come with additional hardware.
Perfect for command centres, broadcast operations, large-scale presentations, and any application where visual control and processing headroom are non-negotiable.
Panasonic 4K PTZ Cameras
We’ve also expanded our camera collection with the latest technology from Panasonic – a suite of professional-grade PTZ cameras designed for live production environments.
What we’ve added:
– 10 × Panasonic AW-UE50 cameras with 24× optical zoom and a 74.1° horizontal viewing angle
– 4 × Panasonic AW-UE80 cameras delivering exceptional 4K/60p performance
– Control via Panasonic AW-RP60 controllers, capable of managing up to 200 cameras with 100 presets each
These aren’t just cameras with impressive specs – they’re engineered for professional environments. Operating whisper-quietly, they deliver sharp, dynamic visuals without creating audio interference for speakers or audiences. The compact footprint and sleek design make them equally at home mounted discretely on a pole or prominently as part of your setup.
The RP60 controllers give you precision and flexibility. Managing 100 presets per camera means complex shots, audience coverage patterns, and quick transitions are literally just a button press away. Whether you’re capturing a keynote, tracking talent across a hybrid event, or orchestrating a multi-room conference, these cameras and controllers give you the creative control you need.
What this means for your next project
These additions reflect our commitment to staying at the front of event and production technology. The Barco E2 Gen 2 brings processing capability that matches the demands of 4K and beyond, while the Panasonic PTZ suite gives you camera flexibility that moves with your ambitions.
