Panasonic AW-UE160 4K UHD HDMI/3G-SDI/IP Integrated 20x PTZ Camera, White

The AW-UE160 4K UHD HDMI/3G-SDI/IP Integrated 20x PTZ Camera, in a sleek white finish, is a state-of-the-art product from Panasonic that offers advanced features and superior image quality. This innovative camera is equipped with a newly developed 4K 1" MOS sensor, providing the highest sensitivity in Panasonic's PTZ lineup. This high-tech camera is perfect for capturing clear images in challenging lighting conditions, making it ideal for use in concert venues, churches, and other live event settings.

The AW-UE160's sophisticated optical low pass filter reduces the effect of moire, ensuring a clearer picture quality when shooting against an LED wall. This feature is particularly beneficial for rental and staging or worship environments. The camera's high-speed frame rate is a boon for sports broadcasters, enabling the capture of slow-motion shots in HD for replays.

This advanced PTZ camera supports return input and high-speed shooting, making it indispensable for building a combined system with a system camera. It is equipped with a tally lamp on the rear panel and two XLR channels for audio output. The AW-UE160 is the first remote camera to support the SMPTE ST2110 standard and 5G router, setting the standard for IP transmission in the broadcasting industry.

The AW-UE160 offers flexible connectivity options, supporting HDMI, 3G-SDI, and IP output, as well as 12G-SDI output and optical fiber output. It also features two XLR channels for audio input. The output method can be selected to suit the operation, making it easy to integrate into an existing imaging system or build a system tailored to the site.

The AW-UE160 is the first PTZ Camera to support the SMPTE ST2110 standard for video transmission over IP networks. This feature allows for the construction of an IP-based studio system, improving the efficiency of your video production workflow. This camera also supports high bandwidth NDI and high efficiency low bandwidth NDI|HX, enabling high-quality, low-latency live video transmission.

The AW-UE160 PTZ camera uses a new-generation image processing engine, resulting in improved processing power. The high-pixel image data output from the 1-type (1") MOS sensor is processed at high speed to improve the S/N ratio. The camera's autofocus performance has been greatly improved, achieving highly accurate AF by discriminating between the subject's movement and characteristics.

This camera is equipped with a new AF system that combines phase detection AF with contrast AF. The fast focusing speed and high focusing accuracy enable it to track subjects and capture in-focus images. The AW-UE160 also features the FreeD protocol, providing the option to output Pan / Tilt / Zoom / Iris information directly from the camera to your tracking system.

The Panasonic AW-UE160 has an integrated Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF), which helps address moire. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting against LED walls. The camera's high sensitivity allows for clear, clean images even in dimly lit locations. The camera also features roll correction that uses electronic image processing technology to provide highly effective correction.

The AW-UE160 features an additional tally lamp on the camera rear, allowing you to see the camera status from any angle. The camera also supports 2x high-speed video output, capturing smooth and beautiful slow-motion video. The cropping function allows for crop-zoom and cut out video at the same time as outputting an entire video shot in 4K.
