Panasonic AW-UE40WEJ 4K Integrated Camera, White

Panasonic AW-UE40WEJ 4K Integrated Camera, White — 24x Optical Zoom with UHD Output

The Panasonic AW-UE40WEJ is a compact 4K integrated PTZ camera in white, designed for fixed installations and live production. It delivers UHD capture, smooth remote PTZ operation, and simple connectivity for plug-and-play workflows.

Why choose the AW-UE40WEJ

The camera uses a 1/2.5-type 4K MOS sensor to capture detailed video while the 24x optical zoom covers wide rooms and distant subjects. Furthermore, the unit supports UHD output up to 2160/29.97p or 25p and a full range of HD formats, so you can match production requirements without changing cameras.

Lens and imaging

The integrated lens provides a 35 mm–equivalent focal range of approximately 25–600 mm. In addition, the camera offers i.Zoom up to 28x in UHD and 36x in FHD, plus digital extender options of 1.4x and 2x. As a result, you can maintain consistent image quality from wide-angle to long-reach shots.

Video outputs and formats

The AW-UE40WEJ outputs UHD via HDMI up to 2160/29.97p or 25p and supports HD up to 1080/59.94p or 50p. It also provides HDMI 4:2:2 10-bit output for higher color fidelity. For USB workflows, the USB-C device port supports UVC/UAC, allowing plug-and-play use as a USB video/audio device. Additionally, audio from the 3.5 mm mic/line input can be embedded on the camera’s video outputs.

Network, streaming and protocols

The camera streams over IP using JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, or H.265. It supports common streaming and contribution protocols including RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, and SRT for transport over unmanaged networks. For NDI-based workflows, optional NDI HX2 activation is available.

Control and PTZ performance

Control options include IP (RJ-45), RS-422, and USB. The unit supports PoE+ so you can run power and data over a single cable. The direct-drive pan/tilt mechanism provides smooth and precise movement with a pan range of ±175° and a tilt range of −30° to +90°, enabling flexible installation on desktops, walls, or ceilings.
