Panasonic has introduced a new 4K PTZ camera with integrated auto-tracking. The AW-UE150AW / AW-UE150AK is an improved successor to the AW-UE150.

The UE150A camera features a high-sensitivity 1.0-sensor and offers a wide dynamic range for smooth gradation and high video quality. The main upgrade is an improved Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) with internal mechanisms to reduce image jitter during pan and tilt movements and improved synchronization of preset pan, tilt and zoom positions for smoother and more natural camera movements.

Built-in optical low-pass filter minimizes color and brightness moiré when shooting monitors or LED walls. The UE150A is compatible with the Panasonic AK-HRP1010GJ/HRP1015GJ remote control panel, ensuring seamless color matching with studio cameras. Tally indicators in red, green and yellow enhance functionality for broadcast setups, making the camera a versatile tool for studio camera systems.

The UE150A supports a variety of video output formats, including 12G-SDI, 2x 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP and fiber optic, allowing for seamless integration into a variety of on-site production systems. For IP transmission, it supports standard NDI® High Bandwidth, enabling low-latency 4K video transmission, while SRT support ensures reliable performance even in unstable network conditions. Its versatility makes Panasonic's new PTZ camera ideal for compact systems used in remote production or live broadcast. Widely popular features include FreeD protocol support for integration with AR/VR systems and 4K image cropping with position and size adjustment.

The UE150A now includes a built-in auto-tracking feature that easily captures a moving presenter. The camera follows the speaker without the need for detailed operator control, allowing realistic video recording at any time.

Key Features:

• High-sensitivity 1.0-sensor supporting 4K 60/50p recording.
• Wide-angle lens (75.1° horizontal) with 20x optical zoom.
• 20-ISO zoom lens with 20-ISO zoom angle and 20-ISO zoom lens with 20-ISO zoom angle.
• Various 4K interfaces (12G-SDI, HDMI, fiber optic, IP).
• Support for multiple transmission protocols, including NDI® High Bandwidth for low latency 4K video.
• Integrated optical low-pass filter to minimize moiré effects ("Anti-Moiré Filter").
• Built-in auto-tracking for easy capture of subjects in the frame.
• Connects to the AK-HRP1010GJ/HRP1015GJ remote control panel for studio-level color matching.
• UHD cropping function.
• HDR (HLG) compatibility to prevent burnt-out highlights and shadow areas and ensure faithful image reproduction.
• Enhanced OIS to reduce camera shake.
• FreeD protocol compatibility for integration with AR/VR systems.
• V-Log for color grading for wide dynamic range and broad color palette.
• 4K image cropping with position and size adjustment.
• PoE++ support
