Now You Can Remotely Capture Images in All Kinds of Outdoor Environments. Outdoor-ready Integrated 4K PTZ Camera That Captures Crucial Moments.

Watching live broadcasts of outdoor sports and live performances through streamed video has become a popular form of entertainment. As the use of video for a variety of different business activities and daily life has become common, the capability to produce and utilize video with limited resources is becoming more important.

The AW-UR100 is a 4K PTZ camera that captures high-precision images in 4K/60p supported by D.I.S.S (Dynamic Image Stabilizing System). It is durable enough to withstand harsh outdoor environments for on-site management such as airports and warehouses in coastal regions, on ships, as well as for live broadcasts during heavy snow storms or typhoons. A wide range of protocols and I/Fs enable flexible and efficient system construction and reduce the risk of missing shots and mistakes, providing peace of mind for video producers.

High-precision Image Capture That Never Misses Those Crucial Moments

When capturing images from various angles in large stadiums, music festivals, and other large-scale venues, you can’t predict where or from which angle you will have a chance to capture critically important scenes. Equipped with a wide lens and featuring 4K/60p, AW-UR100 can cover wide shooting areas and capture high-resolution video even when zooming digitally. D.I.S.S reduces the risk of shaky images. With capabilities for capturing high-definition images at a variety of venues, you won’t miss any critical scenes or highlights from the event.

Industry's first IP65-compliant, outdoor-ready integrated remote camera for 4K60p shooting

AW-UR100 features 4K with approximately four times more pixels than FHD (Full High Definition). It also supports 60 frames per second shooting (4K60p). Even scenes with intense movement can be captured without dropping frames, producing natural smoothness in high definition with high-quality colors.

24x optical zoom / 74.1° horizontal wide-angle images

With the 24x optical zoom lens, you can capture bird’s-eye views in large venues as well as close ups of difficult-to-reach subjects such as athletes and performers on the stage. In addition, with the 74.1° horizontal wide-angle capability for wide shooting areas, you can shoot a variety of scenes only using this camera.

Equipped with three types of image stabilizing systems: O.I.S, E.I.S, and D.I.S.S (Dynamic Image Stabilizing System)

One of the challenges for outdoor PTZ cameras such as those mounted on a high pole or ceiling-mounted cameras has been low-frequency large amplitude swing from wind. To eliminate this problem, the AW-UR100 is equipped with three types of image stabilizing systems; optical image stabilization (O.IS.), electronic image stabilization (E.I.S), and Pan/Tilt image stabilization (D.I.S.S, or Dynamic Image Stabilizing System). The Pan/Tilt function has improved responsiveness enables smooth rotation of the camera to minimize trembling caused by external disturbances. In addition, the two-step vibration correction with O.I.S and E.I.S provides stable image capture regardless of the installation environment.

Cropping (+ Zoom) Function

The AW-UR100 can output entire images in 4K and at the same time create cropped shots from portions of the video. You can specify up to three different positions for cropping. The AW-UR100 can be easily accessed and operated from the remote camera controller AW-RP150GJ/RP60GJ or from a PC. In addition, you can zoom in on cropped images up to five times using the cropping zoom function*.

Durability for Continuous Shooting Even in Harsh Environment

The AW-UR100 can withstand environments susceptible to salt damage, such as image capture for news footage at airports, broadcasting live in warehouse area in coastal regions, or video shooting on large ships. It is also suitable for live broadcasting from places which can be affected by rain, wind, snow, or ultraviolet rays. The camera is also hermetically sealed to keep out yellow sand and flying sand. The AW-UR100 is also equipped with a defroster that warms the camera to prevent accumulation of frost, ice, and condensation, even in extremely cold environments (-15°C), and it has a wiper that keeps the lens clear even in harsh weather conditions. While improving shooting performance, the AW-UR100 maintains the durability that had been recognized in the HR140, enabling high-quality image capture in harsh environments, where video crews would have a hard time working.

Equipped with a Defroster (-15°C)

A defroster prevents frost, ice, and condensation from accumulating, even in extremely cold environments of as low as -15°C., by warming up the camera. Snow melts off and visibility can be maintained even when snow gets on the glass surface of the lens, reducing the risk of missing shots.

Equipped with a Wiper on the Lens

The lens is kept clear even in harsh environments by using a wiper. By connecting the wiper unit’s washer control terminal to the control terminal of a commercially available washer unit, the wiper and washer can both be operated from the controller (AW-RP150GJ/RP60GJ*)

Flexibility in System Construction

Responding to the diversification of requirements in outdoor video shooting, the AW-UR100 is equipped with video transmission I/F options that can support major baseband transmissions such as 3G-SDI, 12G-SDI, Fiber, etc. It also supports various IP protocols such as NDI^® and SRT. Flexible enough to be adapted to various shooting environments and existing video production systems, it can be used in a wide range of installation environments and for purposes of image capture, editing, and distribution. The AW-UR100 helps you to widen the world of utilization and expression for outdoor image capture.

Various I/F and Supported Protocols

A major update from the HR140 with two 3G-SDI ports, the AW-UR100 is equipped with video transmission I/F options that support major baseband transmissions including 3G-SDI, 12G-SDI, and Fiber. 12D-SDI ports can also be used for 3G-SDI. As it supports major IP transmissions such as NDI^®, SRT, and RTMP, you can utilize the AW-UR100 in your existing system environment.

Compatible with FreeD,1 enabling construction of AR/VR2 systems

You can connect the AW-UR100 with AR/VR systems with the output of FreeD compliant commands. By outputting tracking data of cameras (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) in conjunction with synchronization signals, you can easily build your system without an encoder.
