Panasonic AW-HE38K 22x Zoom PTZ Camera with HDMI Output (Black) Discontinued

The Panasonic AW-HE38K 22x Zoom PTZ Camera with HDMI Output from Panasonic features a 1/2.3″ MOS sensor, PoE+ compatibility, and up to 1080p60 output over HDMI or via IP with preview. An f/1.6-4.3 lens with a 22x optical zoom and a 30x Super Resolution zoom enable the camera to cover wide to closeup shots in large conference spaces or classrooms.

The Panasonic AW-HE38K 22x Zoom PTZ Camera Features include an HDR mode for optimal exposure even when subjects are backlit, a Freeze During Preset mode to hide repositioning movements between shots from your audience, Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), and Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS). A Night Mode offers monochrome HD video in almost complete darkness with the use of a separately available IR illuminator.

The AW-HE38K camera supports audio input, embedding, encoding, and a selectable automatic level control (ALC) mode that reduces low-frequency hum from nearby devices like air conditioning and projectors. Additional features include up to 100 presets, SD card and USB port recording, smooth ±175° pan and -30 to 90° tilt, and IP, RS-422, or RS-232C control when used with a separately available controller. To stream over IP, the AW-HE38K is upgradable to NDI/HX compatibility with a separately available license.

In addition to a 22x optical zoom, the AW-HE38 also features intelligent zoom up to 30x and a 1.4x digital extender to capture crisp close-ups even in large auditoriums and lecture halls. The HE38 delivers an impressive signal-to-noise ratio of 54dB (F4/2000lx, minimum illumination, .35 lx), 1000 TV lines of resolution and 16-axis color matrix control for precise camera “painting” and matching. The HE38 already includes many innovative standard features developed to expand the capabilities of professional video system users. In addition to Panasonic’s Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and advanced Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), an ingenious High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode helps to produce very good video even in extreme contrast and lighting conditions.
