Image Rendering and Outputs

The integrated lens on the Panasonic AW-UE30WEJ offers a focal length range equivalent to 35 mm of approximately 25–500 mm, allowing for a wide variety of scenes to be captured with high quality. For UHD video output, the camera supports up to 2160/29.97p or 25p via HDMI, with a 4:2:2, 10-bit output that provides excellent color reproduction. Additionally, the USB-C device port is UVC/UAC compatible, allowing the camera to connect as a standard device to many systems, simplifying the workflow.

The camera is equipped with a 3.5 mm mic/line input with plug-in power, enabling the embedding of audio signals in both HDMI and IP streams. With the i.Zoom function, the zoom range can be extended to 23x in UHD and up to 30x in FHD, while a digital extender offers 1.4x and 2x options for capturing distant subjects without the need to change lenses. Low-light performance is impressive, with a minimum light requirement of only 3 lx (F1.8, 59.94p, 50 IRE, 42 dB), allowing the camera to perform well even in challenging lighting conditions. Users can also choose from various scene files and gamma options, including Normal, Cinema1/Cinema2, and Still-Like, to customize the camera's image profile to specific production needs.

Network, Control, and PTZ Performance

The Panasonic AW-UE30WEJ supports IP streaming in JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, and H.265 up to 1080p, making it flexible enough for various streaming needs. It is compatible with common streaming protocols such as RTSP/RTP, RTMP/RTMPS, and SRT, and offers both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing for easy network integration. For control, users can choose between IP control or RS-422, and with PoE+ support, power and data can be transmitted over a single cable, simplifying installation.

The camera's pan/tilt mechanism is directly driven and offers smooth movements, with a pan range of ±175° and a tilt from −30° to +90°. Speed modes allow for a choice between precise, slow movements and high speed of up to 180°/s (Fast2), giving users full control over camera movements. With an operating noise of NC25 or less, the camera is quiet and perfectly suited for environments where low noise is crucial. Additionally, the unit features optical image stabilization and a built-in auto-tracking function that supports presenter tracking and ensures stable images during conferences and training sessions.
