Production / Streaming at Allied Esports' HyperX Esports Arena at Las Vegas’ Luxor Hotel and Casino with Panasonic PRO PTZ Cameras
More than two dozen Panasonic pan/tilt/zoom cameras are playing key roles in live production at the HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas at the Luxor Hotel and Casino, the first permanent esports venue on The Strip. The camera models are the AW-HE130 and AW-HE2 compact PRO PTZs.
[Note: The AW-HE2 camera has been discontinued by Panasonic and replaced by the all-new 4K wide-angle AW-UE4 PRO PTZ camera.]
The 30,000-square-foot, recently opened, multi-level arena is designed to host every form of competitive gaming. As Allied Esports’ global flagship arena, the venue hosts players around the world who compete for the chance to play in Las Vegas against the world’s top competitors across multiple titles.
True All-in-One Production
Systems integrator CBT Systems, based out of Poway, CA, designed, fabricated and provided integration services at the HyperX Esports Arena. According to company president Darrell Wenhardt, there are several distinct production-centric areas in the arena, including the premier production facility that delivers broadcast-quality content to the arena’s two-story LED video wall and live streams across the world.
We chose the three-sensor HE130 models so we can be assured of avoiding moiré on the LED display, especially if shooting anything other than a static screen.Darrell Wenhardt

“The Panasonic PTZs have been simple to operate, and it’s been highly efficient to bring all the cameras under the same control platform (the AW-RP120 controller),” Buetsch said. “The robotics have been fantastic!”
Buetsch emphasized that, while Allied Esports’ tournaments and high-stakes match-ups are the focus of the arena, the facility has hosted scores of outside events since its launch, ranging from small local gaming shows to major projects of the World Poker Tour, Red Bull, Twitch and the like.
