High-Quality 4K 60p/50p*¹ Shooting

3840 x 2160 4K output and 59.94p/50p*1 shooting achieve extremely smooth video, even in live sports and other environments containing rapid movement.

■Output format

*1: Actual output format is UHD (3840 x 2160) 59.94p/50p.
*2: Native output.
*3: It denotes “1080/23.98p over 59.94i”.

1.0-type MOS Sensor Mounted

The large 1.0-type MOS sensor enables high sensitivity shooting with low noise. The sensor boasts a light-capturing area that is approximately four times larger than that of the 1/2.3-type sensor to guarantee a wide dynamic range.

Optical 20x Zoom / Industry’s First* 75.1° Horizontal Wide-Angle Shooting

Adding “i zoom” to our optical 20x zoom, maintains high resolution while enabling ultra-high resolution 32x zoom in HD mode and 24x zoom in 4K mode. This enables distant subjects to be captured clearly. Furthermore, 75.1° horizontal wide-angle shooting enables capture of the entire area, even when installation space is limited.

HDR (HLG) Support*⁴

The camera supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) to prevent blown-out highlights and blocked-up shadows and enable picture quality close to that of the naked eye. Conforms to BT.2020.

HDR Mode OFF

*4: The display color space does not completely comply with BT.2020. The color balance is shifted to display according to the BT.2020 color gamut.

Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) Loaded

Vibrations of the mounted surface caused by doors opening and closing, audio systems and other installed equipment are automatically corrected to ensure stable shooting.

Night Mode Support

Equipped with Night Mode for infrared shooting. The use of IR rays in low-light situations enables shooting in situations that would normally be difficult, such as when capturing wildlife (image output is black and white).

Incredible Pan and Tilt Performance

Pan and tilt operate from a minimum speed of 0.08°/s to a maximum of 180°/s in high-speed mode. This is approximately 3 times the speed of our current product*⁵ for rapid capture of the intended target. Furthermore, a low noise level of NC35 or less has been ensured when operating in normal mode, which is perfect for shooting in quiet environments*⁶.

*5: Comparison with our current product, AW-HE130W/K.
*6: Quietness, stationary accuracy, etc., in high-speed mode may vary from normal mode.

Cropping Function

Images shot in 4K can be output in their entirety while simultaneously cropping parts of those images. The cropping position can be specified from a maximum of 3 locations to enable simple operation from the Remote Camera Controller AW-RP150GJ, a web browser or other operations screen.

Multiple Interfaces Supported

A wide range of outputs are supported: 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP and even Optical Fiber output. The addition of 4K/HD simultaneous output guarantees the right output for the operation at hand. 4K video can be down converted to HD directly within the camera.

*7: Abbreviation of Power over Ethernet Plus Plus. Conforms to IEEE802.3bt.

Adaptive Matrix prevents color overloaded from blue LEDs*

Equipped with an Adaptive Matrix function that automatically controls matrix calculation coefficients. This enables shooting while preventing color overloaded, even during live events and on stages with strong blue LED lights.

*Use may require a software version update.

WEB UI Improved

Camera IP image output, settings and control can be performed using a web browser on a computer connected via an IP network. In addition to PCs and Macs, iPads, iPhones*¹, Androids and other mobile devices can be used for operation, and this pursuit of easy-to-use interfaces has enabled smooth camera control from remote locations.

AW-RP150GJ Connection for Large-Scale Production Systems

IP connection from the Remote Camera Controller AW-RP150GJ through a HUB (switching hub) enables control of up to 200 AW-UE150W/K units. Furthermore, a single AW-UE150W/K unit can be controlled from up to 5 AW-RP150GJ units.

Direct Broadcast via RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol)

RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) is supported to enable direct upload of video to live-streaming services such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live. This means a live stream can be broadcast directly from the camera.

NDI | HX Compatibility for Excellent Video Streaming Quality

The AW-UE150W/K can be upgraded to an NDI | HX compatible model if purchasing a license. Highly efficient NDI | HX compatibility enables high-quality video to be encoded and transmitted in real-time and input signals to be directly sent to a switcher (AV-HLC100) without the need for an IP decoder.

* 4K image output not supported in NDI|HX mode.

• NDI|HX, a technology of NewTek, Inc.

JPEG Image Saving Function Equipped*

Up to 100 still images can be captured and saved as JPEG files to the built-in camera memory.

*Use may require a software version update.

FreeD Support for Construction of AR/VR Systems*

Connection with AR/VR systems has been enabled via FreeD-compliant command output. Camera tracking information (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) is output according to a synchronizing signal to facilitate construction of virtual systems without an encoder.
