Introducing the AW-UE150, a new 4K integrated Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) remote camera that offers 4K/UHD 60p capture, a first in its broadcast-camera class. The UE150 also affords the widest viewing angle (75.1 degrees, horizontal), which currently is the widest in its class. With an HDR mode, support of various 4K interfaces and simultaneous 4K/HD output, the AW-UE150 is the perfect remote camera for higher-end applications in broadcast, production, corporate, events & staging, education, House of Worship and more.

The AW-UE150 incorporates a 1-inch large MOS sensor and 20X optical zoom, along with seamless Intelligent Zoom (iZoom). The 4K interfaces supported include 12G-SDI, HDMI, optical fiber, and IP. The UE150 features a larger tally light for more effective on-air indication where needed, as well as a modern, bold new design.

The large 1 inch 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. Combined with our intelligent imaging functions, the AW-UE150 brings image quality never before seen in a PTZ camera.

The AW-UE150 is the first robotic PTZ camera in the world to incorporate support for V-LOG video output, a key feature of high-end cinema cameras such as the VariCam. The ability for the UE150 to output in a LOG format opens up a wide-range of video production possibilities. The wide dynamic range and color gamut provide images suitable for color grading, helping to facilitate a consistent video look and enabling color matching with the Netflix approved VariCam cinema cameras and the AK-UC4000 broadcast camera system.

The robotic camera's V-LOG output mode enables the LOG-profile video to be output via 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, monitor out, and HDMI.  Additionally, two types of settings, V-LOG and V-709, can be selected independently per output interface. This allows 4K V-LOG video for color grading to be simultaneously output with full-HD V-709 video for on-site camera monitoring.

Widest in its class, the 75.1-degree horizontal wide angle of the AW-UE150 gives you a phenomenal video range, allowing you to capture the full shot in theaters, stadiums & lecture halls, despite any installation space limitations you may encounter.

3840 x 2160 4K output and 59.94p shooting achieve extremely smooth video, even in live sports and other environments containing rapid movement.

High-Quality Video Output Formats

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. The color balance is shifted to display according to the BT.2020 color gamut.

Vibrations of the mounted surface caused by doors opening and closing, audio systems and other installed equipment are automatically corrected to ensure stable shooting.

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).

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 product 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 environments.

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-RP150, a web browser or other operations screen.

The AW-UE150 PRO PTZ camera is compatible with Panasonic's advanced auto tracking software / server. Utilizing sophisticated facial and body recognition, as well as deep-learning technology, the automated robotic camera control solution allows for accurate tracking of a speaker in a lecture hall or on a presentation stage. The camera auto tracking solution enables streamlined presenter tracking without the need for other accessories or a time-consuming setup process. In addition to standard automated camera tracking, the latest version of the auto tracking software utilizes the UE150's 4K crop feature to enable the simultaneous tracking of up to 3 people.

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.

To be able to incorporate realistic VR (virtual reality) or AR (augmented reality) studio sets in your live productions, accurate camera positioning data is imperative. The AW-UE150 features the FreeD protocol, which provides you with the option to output Pan / Tilt / Zoom / Iris information via Serial (RS 422) and IP (UDP) directly from the camera to your tracking system. The FreeD protocol is supported by most popular virtual set systems, including solutions such as Brainstorm, Ross UX XPERIENCE / Xpression, The Future Group Pixotope, Vizrt Viz Virtual Studio, and Zero Density. The UE150's FreeD compliant command enables the integration of robotic camera systems into virtual studios / virtual sets without an encoder.
