Description
Panasonic AW-UE150AK
Panasonic’s new 4K PTZ camera (AW-UE150AW/AK) meets the demands for advanced video production by setting new standard for video expressiveness and operational versatility. Building on its predecessor, the widely used AW-UE150W/K released in 2018, the AW-UE150AW/AK introduces new capabilities for enhanced video quality and flexible operation. In addition to improved pan, tilt, and zoom synchronization, it supports NDI® High Bandwidth for optimal remote-production workflows.
Key Features
- 1″ Type MOS Sensor
- Up to UHD 4K 60p & HD Simultaneous Out
- 12G/3G-SDI, HDMI, Fiber, NDI & IP Out
- Built-In OLPF Filter & Auto Tracking
Bring UHD 4K quality video to your production with the Panasonic AW-UE150AK UHD 4K 20x PTZ Camera. This PTZ camera outputs up to UHD 4K 60p over a variety of connections, including 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, optical fiber, NDI|HX2, and IP streaming. It features a large 1″ type MOS sensor, a 20x optical zoom with a wide 75.1° AOV, and PoE++. This version of the PTZ camera also features UHD 4K NDI streaming support, improved PTZ sync, built-in auto tracking, and an Optical Low-Pass Filter (OLPF).
Integrated NDI Support
The AW-UE150AK has both NDI High Bandwidth and NDI|HX connectivity built into its interface for high-bandwidth 4K streaming support. This connection features a low latency for streaming efficiency.
Optical Low-Pass Filter
Integrated into the AW-UE150AK is an OLPF (optical low-pass filter) that reduces the moiré effect often seen when shooting in front of LED walls.
Pro PTZ Features
The AW-UE150AKPJ camera supports embedded audio and external audio via a stereo 3.5mm input. Its redesigned web interface is compatible with PCs, Macs, tablets, and Android or iOS smartphones. Additional features include an adjustable tally light, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64 ND filters, and live streaming via RTMP/NDI.
V-Log Output
Now you can use AW-UE150AK footage with your Panasonic VariCam and other cameras using the wide dynamic range and wide color gamut of V-Log. The AW-UE150AKPJ can output V-Log from 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, monitor out, and HDMI and can simultaneously output V-709 for monitoring on set while outputting V-Log for color grading.
HD Multicamera Look from 4K Imagery
The AW-UE150AKPJ offers V-Log output, a UHD crop function in 720p, a preset on/off iris function, and more. Camera features include an HDR mode with BT.2020 color gamut support, optical image stabilization (OIS), a fast 180° pan/tilt speed in high-speed mode, and an infrared Night Mode to capture wildlife or other low-light situations in monochrome HD video. A cropping function enables you to create a multicamera look by selecting up to three angles from a single 4K image. You can even zoom into the cropped frame without the risk of distortion.
PoE++ Compatible
Power the camera using a separately available PoE++ (IEEE802.3bt) hub to minimize installation costs.
FreeD Protocol for AR/VR Camera Tracking
Compatibility with the FreeD protocol lets you send pan, tilt, zoom, and iris data from your AW-UE150AKPJ camera directly to your tracking system via RS-422 or UDP IP. This lets you integrate a robotic camera system into your virtual setup without requiring an encoder. Built-in auto tracking facilitates smooth PTZ movements following a selected subject.
Optical Stabilization
Integrated OIS (optical image stabilization) reduces vibrations caused by any jarring of the surface the camera is mounted on or by audio components or other equipment.
HDR Support
HLG high dynamic range support lets the AW-UE150AKPJ produce more nuanced images with shadow details and without blown-out highlights using the BT.2020 color gamut.
