Panopto and Epiphan Video announced the launch of the first Panopto-certified PTZ camera. The EC20 connects directly to Panopto’s video knowledge platform as a remote recorder, expanding deployment flexibility without requiring changes to existing encoder setups.

According to Panopto, Epiphan’s EC20 camera features a 4K CMOS sensor, 20x optical zoom and AI auto-tracking with presenter and zone modes. A single Ethernet cable delivers power (PoE+), Dante audio over IP and direct streaming to Panopto.

An integrated LCD screen is designed to simplify device setup, while Epiphan Edge cloud management enables secure recording and deployment at scale.

“With flexible connectivity and control, the EC20 simplifies camera deployment across classrooms and collaboration spaces while delivering reliable, broadcast-quality video,” said Troy Powers, AV systems support lead at Northwestern University. “The EC20 works seamlessly within Panopto workflows, giving instructors consistent, high-quality video without adding complexity. When integrated with Panopto, the EC20 truly delivers a ‘set it and forget it’ lecture capture experience.”

The Epiphan EC20 is available now with Panopto Remote Recorder integration available as a free firmware update on May 11. Both companies will demonstrate the solution at EMEA 2026.

The EC20 represents a major step forward in simplifying lecture capture,” said Yusupha Touray, vice president of product at Epiphan Video. “As the first certified PTZ camera of its kind, it gives Panopto customers confidence with a deeply integrated solution, reducing barriers to adoption while delivering consistent, high-quality video across every learning environment without compromise.”
