New PTZ camera offers built-in auto-tracking, enhanced pan, tilt and zoom synchronisation, and IP-based 4K video transmission, increasing operability and flexibility.
Panasonic Connect’s new AW-UE150AW/AK 4K PTZ camera has been designed to meet the needs of professional broadcasters and content creators, delivering advanced video quality, operability and efficiency in studio-based video productions. The UE150AW/AK is the successor to the AW-UE150 – the PTZ camera of choice for many rental, staging, and broadcast applications.
Seamless compatibility for IP-based video
The UE150AW/AK supports the NDI High Bandwidth* protocol, enabling seamless IP-based, low-latency 4K video transmission. This is in addition to existing support for SRT and NDI® HX2 protocols, ensuring steady performance in unstable network conditions.
It is also compatible with 12G-SDI, 2x 3G-SDI, HDMI, and fibre output formats. This enables the UE150AW/AK to be easily integrated into a variety of on-site production systems, making it the perfect choice for both remote production and live streaming environments.
Exceptional performance and high-quality video
Equipped with a high-sensitivity 1.0-type 4K MOS sensor, Panasonic’s UE150AW/AK delivers high quality video. Its wide-angle lens (75.1° horizontal), 20x optical zoom, and built-in auto-tracking functionality make it the ideal choice for a versatile range of installations.
The UE150AW/AK features an optical low-pass filter (OLPF) that reduces luminance and colour moiré when filming monitors or LED walls, whilst HDR (HLG) compatibility delivers true-to-life image reproduction.
Its enhanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) minimises image shake during pan and tilt operations, and upgraded synchronisation of pan, tilt and zoom presets for a smoother camera operation.
Increased compatibility for any environment
The UE150AW/AK is compatible with Panasonic’s AK-HRP1010GJ/HRP1015GJ Remote Operation Panel for seamless colour matching with studio cameras, increasing overall versatility and functionality within broadcasting setups.
“As broadcasters, video production companies and event operators increasingly emphasize operational flexibility and workflow efficiency, the demand for IP-based remote production systems and PTZ cameras as primary tools has grown,” explained Andre Meterian, director of Professional Video Systems for Panasonic Connect Europe. “The new AW-UE150AW/AK camera from Panasonic updates the standard for 4K PTZ cameras, fully meeting the needs of professionals for compact remote systems offering flexible operability and efficient production workflows, combined with ultra-high-quality video.”
The UE150AW/AK is scheduled for release in January 2025. The camera will be displayed at Panasonic booth 3J500, Hall 3 at ISE 2025 in Barcelona.
