High-quality video streaming for more comfortable online communication
Use of an online conferencing system for a discussion or classroom instruction enables communication at anytime and anywhere. Online conferences and online classes, however, have some drawbacks such as reduced sense of participation and interruptions caused by poor communication conditions. The AW-HE20W/K captures realistic images thanks to its flexible angle of view and makes online meetings more comfortable.
Wide shooting range and high-magnification zoom deliver “the ambience of hall” intact
Equipped with the wide-angle lens and zoom function, the HE20 reliably captures important notes on a slide or blackboard so that the video conveys the lesson or presentation effectively for a better understanding. Even with a small number of camera units, there wonŁft be any missed scenes, thus assuring reliable recording of important presentations.

Excellent system flexibility to achieve smart wiring and smooth operation
Ease of setting up and operating the system is an important consideration in initiating an online conference or online class. The AW-HE20 can be linked to various types of system with simple wiring. It can be linked to a regularly used PC or remote camera controller so even people who are unfamiliar with the system operation can easily operate.
Easy installation/setup and compact system configuration
The AW-HE20 can be connected to video equipment via network and it uses a LAN cable for the transmission of video, audio and control signals as well as power supply. This not only minimize the risk of wiring trouble, but also contributes to the reduction of the time and effort required for setting up and removing the equipment.
Wiring example
- * PoE: Abbreviation for Power over Ethernet. It refers to the supply of electricity through LAN cable. PoE offers a number of benefits. Since the power supply is received through the LAN cable, the camera unit can be installed in a place where It is difficult to obtain power supply, such as outdoors or on a celling. It also results in wire-saving installation. PoE+ allows the supply of greater electric power than PoE.
Single PC or controller can manage and control multiple cameras
When using PTZ cameras, it is necessary to check their installation locations and the compatibility of the added system. The AW-HE20 is compact so it won’t get in the way even if installed in a narrow place. The AW-HE20 can directly replace an existing Panasonic PTZ camera. The AW-HE20 smoothly blends in with the surrounding environment.

Use as a USB camera
The AW-HE20 supports UVC so it can be used with an existing USB-based system. A single LAN cable can be used to connect multiple camera units to a PC, allowing wire-saving installation and configuration of a simple and compact system. By using the free PTZ Virtual USB Driver software, the AW-HE20 can be used as a web camera linkable to an online conference service via LAN cable even when the USB cable cannot reach the camera installation location such as a ceiling.
Zoom Rooms Certification
The AW-HE20 is Zoom Rooms certified hardware and can be combined with the application to provide easy and comfortable video communication in training or lecture and online meeting situations.

Direct upload of videos to video livestreaming services
The AW-HE20 supports RTMP/RTMPS*1 to enable direct upload of videos to video livestreaming services such as YouTube and Facebook Live. A video can be uploaded directly from the camera unit for a direct video streaming.
- *1: RTMP: Abbreviation for Real-Time Messaging Protocol, RTMPS: Abbreviation for Real-Time Management Protocol Secure.
- *2: PC is required for entering connection settings in the video streaming server.
Compatible with free Panasonic software
Media Production Suite
The Media Production Suite is a software platform that offers a variety of functions for enhanced video quality and increased operational efficiency. By centralizing the management and monitoring of Panasonic cameras, it facilitates the streamlining of setup, management, and control – even in dynamic shooting environments such as online lectures, webinars, academic conferences, and live events. Additionally, with plug-ins available for an additional fee, the Media Production Suite provides numerous functions for operational support, enabling high-quality productions to be achieved with minimal crew.
Previous PTZ camera software (EasyIP Setup Tool Plus, PTZ Control Center, and Auto Tracking Software) have been integrated into the Media Production Suite.
PTZ Virtual USB Driver
Any Panasonic PTZ camera or professional camera recorder* on your LAN can be recognized and used as a USB camera.
