Panasonic AW-UE150AKEJ 4K Integrated PTZ Camera, Black

Panasonic AW-UE150AKEJ 4K Integrated PTZ Camera — 1-type 4K MOS Sensor and 20x Optical Zoom

The Panasonic AW-UE150AKEJ is a 4K/60p PTZ camera with a 1-type 4K MOS sensor and a 20x optical zoom. It suits installations that require UHD capture and precise remote operation. The camera offers simultaneous 4K and HD outputs plus a variety of interfaces, enabling integration into broadcast, corporate, education, and event workflows.

Imaging and outputs

The integrated lens covers a 35 mm-equivalent focal range of 24.5–490 mm with 20x optical zoom, and includes i.Zoom for extended reach. In UHD mode the camera supports up to 2160/59.94p or 50p, and it also offers a full range of HD modes including 1080/59.94p, 50p, PsF, interlaced formats, and 720p. The horizontal angle of view spans 75.1° at the wide end down to 4.0° at tele, so you can cover wide rooms as well as distant subjects.

For video outputs, the AW-UE150AKEJ provides HDMI 2.0 (4:2:2 10-bit), 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI connections, plus a dedicated HD monitor output. An SFP+ optical fiber port carries the same signal as the 12G-SDI feed, allowing long-distance transmission while maintaining the 12G-SDI content. Genlock input (black burst / tri-level) enables system synchronization in complex multi-camera setups. Audio can be embedded via the 3.5 mm stereo mic/line input, with plug-in power selectable for convenience.

Network, control and PTZ performance

The camera supports IP streaming in JPEG (MJPEG), H.264 and H.265 up to resolutions of 3840×2160. You can select frame rates and bit rates suitable for either 50 Hz or 60 Hz regions. Control options include IP control and RS-422 for integration with a variety of control systems. For power, the unit supports PoE++ as well as 12 V DC.

The pan/tilt mechanism gives a ±175° pan range and a −30° to 210° tilt range. Pan and tilt speeds cover very slow, precise moves at 0.08°/s up to 60°/s in normal mode, and reach up to 180°/s in high-speed mode for fast repositioning. Operating noise is NC35 or less, supporting quieter environments such as lecture halls and broadcast control rooms.

Use cases and installation

This camera is suitable for broadcast, corporate presentations, educational capture, and live events where UHD capture and flexible remote operation are required. You can install it on a desktop or suspend it for overhead coverage. The camera’s black finish corresponds to the K variant.
