4K PTZ Camera for an era of enhanced creativity and the pursuit of visual expression.

Demand continues to grow in the video content market
The AW-UE160 can be used in a variety of situations even when the flow of people and cost control are required, including shooting large-scale events and studio recording and streaming.

Panasonic AW-UE160WEJ  4K PTZ Camera for an era of enhanced creativity and the pursuit of visual expression. AW-UE160 The AW-UE160 4K PTZ camera features a newly developed 4K 1” MOS sensor that offers the highest sensitivity of Panasonic’s entire PTZ lineup. Production teams shooting in a concert venue or a church can easily capture clear images even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Meanwhile, the UE160’s new optical low pass filter reduces the effect of moiré for clearer picture quality when shooting against an LED wall, which is especially important for rental and staging or worship environments. Its high-speed frame rate will help sports broadcasters capture slow motion shots in HD for replays, while seamless integration with the robotic camera system brings live broadcast-style movements to the PTZ, resulting in a dynamic and highly engaging video production.

High sensitivity of F14/2000 lx, equivalent to a studio camera

The high sensitivity of F14/2000 lx allows for clear, clean images even when shooting moving subjects in dimly lit rooms such as stages and live venues. The sensitivity can be set to either Normal mode or High Sensitivity mode, depending on the shooting location and scene.

New generation engine that maximizes image sensor performance and improves image quality and AF performance

The camera uses a new-generation image processing engine, also used in the LUMIX GH6, with improved processing power. High-pixel image data output from the 1-type (1“) (effective size) MOS sensor, which offers an excellent balance between adequate depth of field, high image quality and high sensitivity, is processed at high speed to improve the S/N ratio.

In terms of autofocus (AF) performance, the subject detection performance has been greatly improved through faster processing of calculations and improved AF algorithms, and highly accurate AF is achieved by discriminating between the subject's movement and characteristics. It also offers high video processing performance and enables more unique video expression with resolution performance, high sensitivity performance, and color reproduction that does not compromise your commitment to video image creation.

• New noise reduction (sD)

Realizes more natural and three-dimensional rendering with less noise than ever before, with improved performance in suppressing unpleasant color low-frequency noise and pleasant noise graininess.

• Afterimage-less 3DNR

Significantly improves the ability to distinguish between still and moving areas and eliminates unwanted noise while suppressing afterimages.

• New Intelligent Detail

Analyzes the characteristics of the subject pixel by pixel and determine flat/detailed/edge areas. By controlling image processing based on the results, detailed areas are rendered with a greater sense of resolution, while edge areas are suppressed from unnatural fringing (shoot phenomenon) caused by image processing. By performing appropriate image processing according to the subject, the camera realizes true descriptive power with high reproducibility.

Equipped with newly developed PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus)

Equipped with a new AF system that combines phase detection AF (phase detection) with contrast AF (contrast detection). The camera's fast focusing speed and high focusing accuracy enable it to track subjects and capture in-focus images even in dark locations, whether it is continuously focusing on a moving subject or switching focus on multiple subjects.

Equipped with 2 XLR channels for audio input to enable high-quality recording

The camera is equipped with two XLR channels for audio input, allowing audio input from the left and right sides of the venue with high-performance microphones. It can also be used for filming at live performances, theatrical performances, and other sites where the acoustics are vital.

Industry’s first^* 5G router (with USB tethering support for high-speed, high-capacity video transmission)

4K video data can be wirelessly transmitted on the spot by connecting a 5G mobile router or other devices via USB to the terminal on the rear panel. It is also possible to broadcast events and live streams from locations where cables are not laid or from outdoor event venues.
