Overview
Panasonic AW-UE150KPJ
Next-Generation 4K 60p/50p Professional PTZ Camera
Take your remote camera production to the next level with the Panasonic AW-UE150KPJ, a next-generation professional PTZ camera that supports high-quality video production in stadiums, lecture halls, churches and other venues.
Smooth and high-quality 4K 60p/50p video output, high-magnification 20x optical zoom, and a wide 75.1-degree shooting angle expand the range of this PTZ camera's applications. It also features a large 1" MOS sensor.
The AW-UE150KPJ camera is equipped with a variety of interfaces such as 12G-SDI, HDMI, optical fiber and IP outputs. It supports simultaneous 4K/HD operation, which allows for versatility in current and future production systems.
Key Features
- First UHD/4K 59.94p integrated PTZ camera
- 75.1° horizontal viewing angle (widest in its class)
- Various 4K interfaces (12G-SDI, HDMI, optical fiber, IP)
- Optical 20x zoom + iZoom
- 4K/HD simultaneous output
Features
- High-Quality 4K 60p/50p1 Shooting: 3840 x 2160 4K output and 59.94p/50p1 shooting achieve extremely smooth video, even in live sports and other environments containing rapid movement.
- 1.0-type MOS Sensor Mounted: The large 1.0-type MOS sensor enables high sensitivity shooting with low noise. The sensor boasts a light-capturing area that is approximately four times larger than that of the 1/2.3-type sensor to guarantee a wide dynamic range.
- Optical 20x Zoom / Industry's First 75.1° Horizontal Wide-Angle Shooting: Adding "i zoom" to our optical 20x zoom, maintains high resolution while enabling ultra-high resolution 32x zoom in HD mode and 24x zoom in 4K mode. This enables distant subjects to be captured clearly. Furthermore, 75.1° horizontal wide-angle shooting enables capture of the entire area, even when installation space is limited.
- HDR (HLG) Support: The camera supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) to prevent blown-out highlights and blocked-up shadows and enable picture quality close to that of the naked eye. Conforms to BT.2020.
- Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) Loaded: Vibrations of the mounted surface caused by doors opening and closing, audio systems and other installed equipment are automatically corrected to ensure stable shooting.
- Night Mode Support: Equipped with Night Mode for infrared shooting. The use of IR rays in low-light situations enables shooting in situations that would normally be difficult, such as when capturing wildlife (image output is black and white).
- Adaptive Matrix prevents color overloaded from blue LEDs2: Equipped with an Adaptive Matrix function that automatically controls matrix calculation coefficients. This enables shooting while preventing color overload, even during live events and on stages with strong blue LED lights.
- Incredible Pan and Tilt Performance: Pan and tilt operate from a minimum speed of 0.08°/s to a maximum of 180°/s in high-speed mode. This is approximately 3 times the speed of our current product3 for rapid capture of the intended target. Furthermore, a low noise level of NC35 or less has been ensured when operating in normal mode, which is perfect for shooting in quiet environments4.
- Cropping Function: Images shot in 4K can be output in their entirety while simultaneously cropping parts of those images. The cropping position can be specified from a maximum of 3 locations to enable simple operation from the Remote Camera Controller AW-RP150GJ, a web browser or other operations screen.
- Auto Iris Window (NEW): The auto iris function enables shooting at a stable brightness.The photometry range can be set using predefined patterns or customized ranges5.
- JPEG Image Saving Function Equipped2: Up to 100 still images can be captured and saved as JPEG files to the built-in camera memory.
- FreeD6 Support for Construction of AR/VR Systems2: Connection with AR/VR systems has been enabled via FreeD-compliant command output. Camera tracking information (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) is output according to a synchronizing signal to facilitate construction of virtual systems without an encoder. (AR: Augmented Reality;
VR: Virtual Reality)
- Compatible with free Panasonic software (NEW):
- Media Production Suite: The Media Production Suite is a software platform that offers a variety of functions for enhanced video quality and increased operational efficiency. By centralizing the management and monitoring of Panasonic cameras, it facilitates the streamlining of setup, management, and control — even in dynamic shooting environments such as online lectures, webinars, academic conferences, and live events. Additionally, with plug-ins available for an additional fee, the Media Production Suite provides numerous functions for operational support, enabling high-quality productions to be achieved with minimal crew. Note: Previous PTZ camera software (EasyIP Setup Tool Plus, PTZ Control Center, and Auto Tracking Software) have been integrated into the Media Production Suite.
-
PTZ Virtual USB Driver: Any Panasonic PTZ camera or professional camera recorder7 on your LAN can be recognized and used as a USB camera.
- Compatible with IT/IP platform "KAIROS": This product is compatible with the IT/IP platform "KAIROS". It is a live video production platform developed based on a new concept and innovative architecture. It incorporates proprietary, ground-breaking software to maximize the CPU and GPU capacities for video processing.
- Tally LED Limit (NEW): This is a setting that does not turn on the tally lamps of cameras installed on stages at events, especially concert halls and stages and prevents distracting the performers and allows for more natural filming. The tally indicator on the controller lights up so that the camera person is aware of which camera's video is being used.
- Equipped with a Large Tally Lamp: Easy to see from a distance.
- WEB UI Improved: Camera IP image output, settings and control can be performed using a web browser on a computer connected via an IP network. In addition to PCs and Macs, iPads, iPhones, Androids and other mobile devices can be used for operation. This pursuit of easy-to-use interfaces has enabled smooth camera control from remote locations.2
- AW-RP150GJ Connection for Large-Scale Production Systems: IP connection from the Remote Camera Controller AW-RP150GJ through a HUB (switching hub) enables control of up to 200 AW-UE150W/K units. Furthermore, a single AW-UE150W/K unit can be controlled from up to 5 AW-RP150GJ units.
- Multiple Interfaces Supported: A wide range of outputs are supported: 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP and even Optical Fiber output. The addition of 4K/HD simultaneous output guarantees the right output for the operation at hand. 4K video can be down converted to HD directly within the camera.
- SRT support for stable video transmission over public lines2: SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), a next-generation video transmission protocol with strong security suitable for unstable network environments, is supported.
- Secure: Strong security is ensured by encrypting video data before transmission.
- Reliable: The packet loss recovery function automatically detects and retransmits packets lost during transmission, ensuring smooth, stable video transmission.
- Transport: The flexible and adaptable buffer management system enables stable video transmission even in network environments with unstable bit rates. Long-distance video transmission over public lines is supported.
- Direct Broadcast via RTMP: RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) is supported to enable direct upload of video to live-streaming services such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live. This means a live stream can be broadcast directly from the camera.
- NDI® HX2 Compatibility for Excellent Video Streaming Quality (NEW): Highly efficient NDI® HX2.8 compatibility enables high-quality video to be encoded and transmitted in real-time and input signals to be directly sent to a switcher such as the AV-HSW10 without the need for an IP decoder.
