Product Description
The Panasonic AW-UE160 4K PTZ camera in white is a game - changer. It features a newly developed 4K 1” MOS sensor, offering the highest sensitivity in Panasonic's PTZ lineup. Whether you're shooting a concert or a church service, it captures clear images even in tough lighting. The new optical low - pass filter (OLPF) reduces moiré, ensuring clear pictures when shooting against an LED wall, which is great for rental, staging, and worship settings. Sports broadcasters can use its high - speed frame rate to capture HD slow - motion replays. Seamless integration with the robotic camera system brings broadcast - style movements to the PTZ, creating dynamic and engaging videos.
This camera takes PTZ performance to the next level. It supports return input and high - speed shooting, essential for building a combined system with a system camera. It has a tally lamp on the rear panel and two XLR channels for audio output. It's the first remote camera to support the SMPTE ST2110 standard and 5G router (USB tethering compatible), enabling efficient IP transmission in broadcasting.
With advanced connectivity, the AW - UE160 supports HDMI, 3G - SDI, 12G - SDI, IP, and optical fiber outputs. It also has two XLR channels for audio input. You can choose the output method to fit your operation, easily adding it to an existing system or building a customized one.
As the industry's first SMPTE ST2110 - compatible PTZ camera, when combined with the IT/IP platform “KAIROS” or AK - UC4000/AK - UCU600/AK - NP600, it streamlines your video production workflow.
Key features include uncompromising shooting performance and operability, significant moiré reduction by the OLPF, a high - sensitivity 4K sensor, advanced autofocus, and SMPTE 2110 support with an additional software key purchase.
Using the Panasonic AW - UE160 4K PTZ camera is quite straightforward. First, make sure to power it up correctly. You can use either a 12VDC power supply (with a range of 10.8V to 13.2V) or the PoE++ option following the IEEE802.3bt standard. Connect your audio and video cables according to your needs. You have multiple output options like HDMI, 3G - SDI, 12G - SDI, IP, and optical fiber, so choose the one that suits your setup.
When shooting, take advantage of the high - sensitivity 4K sensor for clear images, especially in low - light conditions. If you're shooting against an LED wall, the optical low - pass filter will help reduce moiré for a cleaner picture. For sports events, use the high - speed frame rate to capture slow - motion replays.
Here are some important notes. Avoid exposing the camera to extreme temperatures or humidity. When using the 5G router via USB tethering, ensure a stable connection. Also, when connecting to other devices, double - check the compatibility of the protocols.
For maintenance, keep the camera clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. If there are any stubborn marks, use a mild cleaning solution. Regularly check the cables and connections for any signs of wear and tear. If you're not using the camera for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry place with the power turned off.
