Panasonic Connect's PTZ New Flagship Model, AW-UE160
High Sensitivity Of F14/2000 Lx
Studio Camera PerfomanceThe high sensitivity of F14/2000 lx allows for clear, clean images even when shooting moving subjects in dimly lit rooms such as stages and live venues. The sensitivity can be set to either Normal mode or Low Light mode, depending on the shooting location and scene.
New Generation Engine That Maximizes Image Sensor Performance
improved image quality and AF performanceThe camera uses a new-generation image processing engine, also used in the LUMIX GH6, with improved processing power. High-pixel image data output from the 1-type (1“) (effective size) MOS sensor, which offers an excellent balance between adequate depth of field, high image quality and high sensitivity, is processed at high speed to improve the S/N ratio. In terms of autofocus (AF) performance, the subject detection performance has been greatly improved through faster processing of calculations and improved AF algorithms, and highly accurate AF is achieved by discriminating between the subject's movement and characteristics. It also offers high video processing performance and enables more unique video expression with resolution performance, high sensitivity performance, and colour reproduction that do not compromise your commitment to video image creation.
New noise reduction (2D)Realizes more natural and three-dimensional rendering with less noise than ever before, with improved performance in suppressing unpleasant colour low-frequency noise and pleasant noise graininess.
Afterimage-less 3DNRSignificantly improves the ability to distinguish between still and moving areas and eliminates unwanted noise while suppressing afterimages.
New Intelligent DetailAnalyses the characteristics of the subject pixel by pixel and determines flat/detailed/edge areas. By controlling image processing based on the results, detailed areas are rendered with a greater sense of resolution, while edge areas are suppressed from unnatural fringing (shoot phenomenon) caused by image processing. By performing appropriate image processing according to the subject, the camera realizes true descriptive power with high reproducibility.
Moiré Reduction Function
Optical Low-Pass FilterEquipped with an optical low-pass filter to suppress luminance and colour moiré. It reduces moiré that is likely to occur during broadcasting and streaming, such as in studio monitors and displays and LED walls used in stadiums, enabling the production of more beautiful and easier-to-view images.
Compatible With HDR (HLG)
HDR Mode OFF
HDR Mode ON
High Dynamic RangeCompatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range), which prevents white-out and blackout and produces images that are close to those of the naked eye.
Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) And Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)
Roll CorrectionIn addition to the conventional 2-axis in-lens image stabilization (Pitch/Yaw), which is based on fine-tuning of the lens, the camera also features roll correction that uses electronic image processing technology to provide highly effective correction. Stable images with reduced blurring can be shot even in locations where special equipment such as a rail systems or camera arms are used.
Realize Next-Generation Video Production
Various Shooting Methods And FunctionsFirst PTZ Camera to be equipped with the SMPTE ST 2110 standard, 5G mobile router (USB tethering support) for high-speed, high-capacity video transmission, return function for use as a prompter for performers, and two XLR channels for audio output to enable high-quality recording. It also supports valuable functions for use with a system camera, such as a maximum 2x high-speed shooting function and a tally lamp on the rear panel.
The AW-UE160, which has been updated to specifications equivalent to those of a system camera while maintaining the flexibility of a PTZ Camera that can be freely set to any position and angle, can be applied to both use and replacement of a system camera, giving users a wide range of options for future video expression and production.
Industry's First Return Input Function
Adjustment And ShootingThe camera can be used as a prompter for return images and manuscript displays where the performer checks the video being streamed or broadcast on the spot, allowing adjustment and shooting to the targeted angle when performing chroma key compositing or when linking with AR/VR systems.
Supports 2x High-Speed Output
FHD 120 fpsThe camera captures smooth and beautiful slow-motion video by performing high-speed shooting at FHD 120 fps so not a single frame of the decisive moment is missed.
Equipped With A Rear Tally Lamp
Rear Tally LampThe tally, which was only available on the front (subject side), is now also available on the rear (operator side) so that you can see the camera taking videos from any angle. The tally lamp can be linked to the front and rear sides to set the brightness and select ON/OFF. The yellow tally lamp can be used for any number of applications, such as when there are a large number of cameras, when multiple cameras are used on site, or when simultaneous streaming and recording are required.
FreeD Support
For construction of AR/VR systemsIt is possible to connect to AR/VR systems by outputting FreeD compliant commands. The camera's tracking information (Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Focus/Iris) is output in conjunction with the synchronizing signal, making it possible to easily build a system without an encoder.
Cropping Function
UP TO THREE CROP AREASIt is possible to crop-zoom and cut out video at the same time as outputting an entire video shot in 4K. The cropping position can be specified from a maximum of three locations and can be easily operated from the AW-RP150 PTZ Camera controller or web browser screen.
Flexibility To Freely Set Positions And Angles
Shoot From High AnglesIt is possible to shoot from high angles using ceiling mounts and totems, as well as low angles from in front of the audience or from the stage. It can be installed in space-saving areas where equipment cannot be placed or where it is difficult to deploy staff, thereby improving efficiency in video production.
Various I/Fs And Supported Protocols
HDMI, 3G-SDI, And IP OutputSupports HDMI, 3G-SDI, and IP output as well as 12G-SDI output and fibre-optic output. Also equipped with two XLR channels for audio input. The output method can be selected to suit the operation, making it easy to add to an existing imaging system or build a system tailored to the site.
In addition, there are no restrictions on the video output method, even when outputting from multiple terminals simultaneously, allowing simultaneous operation in 4K. For example, it is possible to set up a system that operates with three main lines (12G-SDI), one for confirmation (3G-SDI OUT1), and one for monitor display (3G-SDI OUT2).
High image quality and low latency with high bandwidth NDI supportHigh bandwidth NDI and high efficiency low bandwidth NDI|HX, which encode and transmit high-quality video in real time, are included. High bandwidth NDI transmits 4K video at a maximum of 250 Mbps and full HD video at a maximum of 125 Mbps, enabling high-quality, low-latency live video transmission.
SRT support for stable video transmission over public linesSRT, a next-generation video transmission protocol with strong security suitable for unstable network environments, is supported.
Direct Broadcast via RTMP/RTMPSRTMP/RTMPS 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.
Smooth Image And Colour Matching
Colour matrix controlThe scene file functions can record and update various camera settings in eight scene files. They can also be copied to multiple cameras via a PC. Colour matrix control allows sensory adjustment of colour on the screen, making colour matching easier. The workload for image and colour matching can be reduced, which reduces the time and effort required to introduce the system and prepare for shooting.
Horizontal Level Gauge
Horizontal level gauge display functionHorizontal level gauge has been added to the OSD/WEB screen so that you can check whether the installation is level or not.
