Panasonic AW-UE150AWEJ 4K Integrated PTZ Camera, White

Panasonic AW-UE150AWEJ 4K Integrated PTZ Camera — 1-Type 4K MOS Sensor with 20x Optical Zoom

The Panasonic AW-UE150AWEJ is a high-performance 4K/60p integrated PTZ camera, perfect for installations that require high-resolution UHD recording and precise remote control. This camera delivers simultaneous 4K and HD outputs and offers multiple connectivity options for easy integration into various broadcasting environments, corporate use, education, and event productions.

Image and Lens Performance

The camera is equipped with a 1-type 4K MOS sensor and a built-in zoom lens, making it ideal for a variety of recording situations. With a 20x optical zoom and i.Zoom function for extended range, it can capture everything from wide-angle shots in rooms to distant subjects. The 35 mm equivalent focal length range spans from 24.5 mm to 490 mm, providing great flexibility in composition and outstanding detail reproduction.

The horizontal field of view ranges from 75.1° in wide-angle to 4.0° in telephoto mode, allowing for capturing both broad and narrow perspectives. The camera also offers various gamma options including HLG and Film-like/Video/Film Rec profiles to suit different production styles and creative visions.

Outputs and Connections

The AW-UE150AWEJ supports UHD outputs up to 2160/59.94p and 50p, as well as a full range of HD formats including 1080/59.94p, 50p, PsF, interlaced modes, and 720p. This makes the camera highly versatile and adaptable for various workflows.

• HDMI 2.0: (4:2:2 10-bit)
• 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI: for reliable and high-quality transmission
• Dedicated HD monitor output: for direct viewing of recorded material
• SFP+ optical fiber port: that mirrors the 12G-SDI signal for advanced installation needs

Genlock input (black burst / tri-level) supports system synchronization, which is crucial for professional broadcasts. A 3.5 mm mic/line input allows audio embedding and offers optional plug-in power for external microphones, enabling you to customize audio recording as needed.

IP Streaming, Control, and Power Supply

The camera enables streaming over IP with JPEG (MJPEG), H.264, and H.265 codecs, and supports resolutions up to 3840×2160. You can also choose from various frame rates and bit rates, providing flexibility for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz regions.

For control, there are options for IP control and RS-422, making it easy to integrate the camera into various systems. Additionally, the camera supports PoE++ for power supply, providing further installation flexibility with a 12 V DC input.

PTZ Mechanics and Performance

The pan/tilt head offers impressive movement range and precise control over camera movements. The pan function covers an area of ±175°, while the tilt range extends from −30° to 210°. You can adjust the speed of the camera movements; move slowly at 0.08°/s for precise framing, use normal speeds up to 60°/s, or activate high-speed mode up to 180°/s for fast movements. The operating noise is NC35 or lower, making it ideal for quiet environments where sound can affect the recording.

Low Light Performance and Sensitivity

The camera has a minimum illumination of 2 lx (F2.8, 59.94p, 50 IRE, 42 dB), allowing it to perform well even in low light. The standard sensitivity is F9 at 2000 lx, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 60 dB or more, ensuring clean images under various lighting conditions.

Installation and Variants

The AW-UE150AWEJ can be installed both on a desk and hung for ceiling mounting or other overhead installations, providing great flexibility for use in different environments. This model has a white surface finish (AWEJ), and it is noted that a black surface finish corresponds to the K variant, offering additional options for aesthetics and design.
