Panasonic introduces
new PTZ Camera line-up
P
anasonic has announced a refresh
of its market-leading PTZ camera
range with five new models to address
market needs. The 4K integrated
cameras AW-UE80W/K, AW-UE50W/K,
AW-UE40W/K, AW-UE20W/K and the
HD integrated camera AW-HE20W/K
will be released sequentially from the
first quarter of 2022. All the cameras
have a new proprietary direct drive
system based on Panasonic's own
technology for quiet and smooth
vertical and horizontal directions.
As organisations have had to adapt
to an accelerated digital environment,
the quality of video transmission
has become particularly critical to
the education, corporate, live events
and broadcast industries. With
clear
images
and dynamic
image
production that can only be obtained
with Panasonic's pan, tilt and zoom
movement, it is possible to improve
the quality of online communication
and enhance the sense of presence
even when not face-to-face.
The AW-UE40, AW-UE50 and AWUE80
will have a 24x optical zoom and
up to a 36x intelligent zoom, as well as
a 74.1 degree viewing angle to support
usage in both indoor and outdoor
environments. The latest generation
of optical image stabilisation (OIS)
ensures excellent stability. All cameras
will support PoE, enabling a singlecable
solution
whereby
video
and
audio,
control, and power can be
provided to and from the camera via a
single ethernet connection.
The latest IP-based video protocols
will be supported, including NDI|HX
version 2 and, in the case of the
AW-UE80, full-bandwidth NDI. The
SRT protocol will also be supported
alongside RTMP and RTMPS. The
AW-UE80 will also support the FreeD
protocol to ensure integration with
AR and VR systems alongside 4K/50p
video capabilities.
The 4K-capable AW-UE20W/K
and the HD integrated camera AWHE20W/K
are entry-level PTZ cameras
produced specifically for the corporate
and higher education markets. Both
models will feature a wide-angle lens,
the latest IP protocol certifications,
and connectivity for SDI, HDMI, USB
and IP.
Panasonic offers an entire ecosystem
of solutions to enable the new PTZ
cameras to be smoothly
introduced
into existing
camera systems. This
includes use with its remote
AW-UE40, AW-UE50
AW-UE80

most used in the world1
