Features:

Provides a stable hybrid environment for connecting online and offline

• 4K resolution, wide angle, and high-magnification zoom for delivering “the atmosphere of the hall.”
• Auto Tracking Software for reliable following and capturing of the speaker.
• Secure and stable transmitting protocol for reduced risk of communication trouble.
• Smooth playback of high-quality videos.

Auto Tracking Software for reliable following and capturing of the speaker.

Panasonic  AW-UE40 supports Panasonic AW-SF100/AW-SF200 Auto Tracking Software, so the camera can follow and capture the presenter/teacher moving around on the podium while talking. Since the software performs the camerawork to follow the speaker without the supervisor’s detailed camera operation, realistic scenes can be recorded at all times.

Secure and stable streaming protocol for reduced risk of communication trouble.

Panasonic  AW-UE40 supports SRT1, a next-generation video transport protocol that works well even with an unstable network environment and provides robust security. It can also minimize risks such as information leakage, so it can be used safely for any video content.

Key points of SRT

• Security – Encrypts video data before data transfer to assure high security.
• Stability – The packet loss recovery function automatically detects packets lost during the data resends them to achieve stable, disturbance-free video data transfer.
• Supports data transfer over the public line – The flexible and highly adaptable buffer management system assures stable video data transfer even in a network environment with an unstable bit rate. Public internet can be used for long-distance video data transfer.

Unit size and quietness for flexible use at any video shooting sites

• The compact dome-shaped design blends in with the context. Lightweight and small size give added flexibility in camera installation.
• Quiet operating sound allows the use of the camera in any situation.
• Image stabilizer ensures stable video shooting.
• Tally LED Limit

The compact dome-shaped design blends in with any atmosphere. Lightweight and small size allow flexible installation.

The gentle dome-shape design makes the camera movements invisible, thus allowing video shooting in a natural condition without giving an exact feeling. The compact unit weighs only about 1.8 kg for a space-saving installation. The AW-UE40 can directly replace an active Panasonic PTZ camera.

Quiet enough to allow use in any place and for any applications.

Since the Panasonic AW-UE40 4K PTZ Camera operates very quietly, it can be used in a meeting held in a noiseless conference hall or in a class held in a spacious lecture room without worrying about the operating sound of the camera unit.

The new direct-drive motor is quiet during panning (horizontal movement) and tilting (vertical movement) so the camera operator does not interfere with important meetings and lectures.

Image stabilizer for stable video shooting.

Even when the camera unit is mounted in an unstable place, the image stabilizer always assures clear images. The Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) makes fine alterations to the lens by smoothly moving the camera unit, thus minimizing image shakes and capturing stable, high-quality images.

Tally LED Limit

This is a setting that does not turn on the tally lamps of cameras installed on stages at events, especially concert halls, and stages, and prevents distracting the performers and allows for more natural filming.

The tally indicator on the controller lights up so that the camera person is aware of which camera’s video is being used.

The ease of preparing and setting up the system is an important thought for developing online video streaming. Multiple AW-UE40 PTZ camera units can be utilized from a single controller, so wiring is simple.

The AW-UE40 can be linked easily with a streaming platform or online conferencing system. The product is easy to operate even for people who are not familiar with the system operation.
