This compact PTZ camera delivers 4K capture and quiet remote operation for installed systems. It suits meeting rooms, lecture halls, and other installations that need consistent image quality from wide shots to distant subjects. The camera uses a 1/2.5-type 4K MOS sensor together with a 20x optical zoom to cover a broad range of scenes with stable results.
The integrated lens provides a 35 mm–equivalent focal range of approximately 25–500 mm. For UHD video output, the camera supports up to 2160/29.97p or 25p via HDMI, using 4:2:2, 10-bit output. In addition, the USB-C device port supports UVC/UAC for USB workflows, which lets you connect the camera as a standard device for many systems.
The camera includes a 3.5 mm mic/line input with plug-in power. You can embed that audio on both HDMI and IP streams. Furthermore, i.Zoom extends the zoom range to 23x in UHD and up to 30x in FHD, while a digital extender offers 1.4x and 2x options to get closer to distant subjects without changing lenses.
Low-light performance is specified with a minimum illumination of 3 lx (F1.8, 59.94p, 50 IRE, 42 dB). You also get selectable scene files and gamma options, including Normal, Cinema1/Cinema2, and Still-Like, to adapt the camera’s image profile to different production needs.
The camera supports IP streaming in JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, and H.265 at up to 1080p, with selectable frame rates suitable for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz regions. It works with common streaming protocols such as RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, and SRT, and supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for flexible network integration.
For control, you can use IP control or RS-422. Power and data can be carried over a single cable with PoE+ support. The camera’s direct-drive pan/tilt mechanism delivers smooth motion with a wide pan range of ±175° and a tilt range from −30° to +90°. Speed modes let you choose from precise, slow moves up to high-speed movement of 180°/s (Fast2).
Operating noise is specified at NC25 or less, so the camera runs quietly in environments where low noise is important. The unit also features optical image stabilization and a built-in auto-tracking function to support presenter tracking and to keep shots steady in typical conferencing and education environments.

Question: Can this camera deliver native 4K output for production workflows?
Answer: Yes. The AW-UE30 outputs UHD up to 2160/29.97p or 25p via HDMI (4:2:2, 10-bit), which suits many 4K production workflows.
Question: Which network streaming formats and protocols are supported?
Answer: The camera streams in JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, and H.265 up to 1080p. It supports RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, and SRT, and it is compatible with IPv4 and IPv6 networks for flexible deployment.
Question: How can I power and control the camera over a single cable?
Answer: You can use PoE+ to supply power and network connectivity over a single cable. For control, both IP control and RS-422 are available depending on your system setup.
Question: Is there support for USB webcam-style operation?
Answer: Yes. The USB-C device port supports UVC/UAC, enabling USB workflows where the camera functions as a standard USB video and audio device.
Question: How does the camera perform in presentation and lecture environments?
Answer: The camera offers optical image stabilization, a built-in auto-tracking function, and quiet operation (NC25 or less). Together with wide pan/tilt ranges and multiple speed modes, it supports smooth presenter tracking and stable shots in conferencing and education settings.
Question: What audio options are available for embedding into streams?
Answer: The AW-UE30 includes a 3.5 mm stereo mic/line input with plug-in power. You can embed that audio on HDMI and IP streams without requiring separate audio routing.
