It can now be revealed that Panasonic’s Advanced Auto Framing Software (AFS) was deployed by video production specialist Universal Pixels across the Oasis Live ’25 Tour, the band’s first live performances in 16 years.
AFS, a plug-in for Panasonic’s Media Production Suite, uses AI-powered subject and face detection to automatically maintain framing as performers move across the stage. Universal Pixels ran the software across six Panasonic AW-UE150 PTZ cameras for all 41 tour dates, configuring up to 20 custom framing presets per performer to allow automatic pan, tilt and zoom adjustment in real time. Two AK-UC4000 4K studio cameras were used to continuously track singers Noel and Liam Gallagher, with the PTZ cameras providing cut-away coverage of other band members.
The setup is designed to allow a single operator to manage multiple PTZ cameras simultaneously, reducing the need for manual intervention and operator fatigue during performances. A single Remote Operation Panel was used to manage both PTZ and studio cameras across varying venue configurations, with shared control protocols enabling consistent image quality during live switching.
Universal Pixels also deployed Panasonic’s AK-UCX100 4K studio cameras on Robbie Williams’ ongoing Britpop Tour, using V-Log colour grading workflows to maintain consistent visuals under changing outdoor lighting conditions.
James Morden, technical specialist at Universal Pixels, said: “Panasonic’s Auto Framing Software is a fantastic tool for touring productions, particularly when working with band members that love to wander around the stage. It saves valuable time during performances, with directors able to focus on specific band members, with operators only needing to make small adjustments.”
