Large Sensor for High-quality Video Shooting
Featuring a large 1.0-inch MOS sensor, the AW-UE150AW/AK delivers high-sensitivity shooting with reduced noise. It supports 4K/60p*1 output and is compatible with HDR (High Dynamic Range)*2 to prevent blown-out highlights and blocked-up shadows, ensuring true-to-life image reproduction.
- *1: Output format is UHD (3840 x 2160) 59.94p
- *2: Display color space does not fully encompass BT.2020 (color balance is shifted to match BT.2020 color gamut)

Superior OIS and PTZ Control for Smooth, Natural Video
The enhanced Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS) uses state-of-the-art internal mechanisms to minimize image shake during pan, zoom and tilt operation. Additionally, upgraded synchronization of pan, tilt and zoom presets ensures exceptionally smooth and natural camera operation.
Note: Video shot with AW-UE160 (similar functions)
Equipped with moiré reduction function by optical low-pass filter
Equipped with an optical low-pass filter to suppress luminance and color moiré. It reduces moiré that is likely to occur during broadcasting and streaming, such as in studio monitors and displays and LED walls used in on event stages, enabling the production of more beautiful and easier-to-view images.

2. Flexible Adaptation to Diverse Environments
Wide-angle Lens (75.1° horizontal) with 20x Optical Zoom
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.

Compatible with Panasonic Remote Operation Panel
The new camera is compatible with Panasonic’s AK-HRP1015GJ* , AK-HRP1010GJ*, AK-HRP1000GJ* and AK-HRP250GJ* Remote Operation Panels* for studio-level operation and management.
- * Future support planned. For more about cameras that connect to Panasonic remote operation panels, see Controller Compatible Models List PDF.
NDI® High Bandwidth and NDI® HX2 Supported as a standard feature
The AW-UE150AW/AK supports NDI® High Bandwidth for high-quality video transmission with low latency and NDI® HX2 for efficient video delivery in limited bandwidth environments. Additionally, video sources available from any device on the same network are automatically recognized, even if their IP addresses are unknown, for smooth, flexible production workflow on-site.
- * NDI® is a video connectivity technology and is registered as a trademark by Vizrt NDI AB in the United States and other countries.
SRT Support for Stable video transmission over public lines
Support for the SRT next-generation video transmission protocol helps to maintain stable performance even under unstable network conditions, and ensures robust security, minimizing problems such as interrupted distribution during production or events to ensure reliable streaming. Additionally, this safeguards against the risk of information leaks, providing peace of mind during use.
3. Advanced Features for Expanded Creative Possibilities
Compatible with FreeD*1 for AR/VR*2 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.
- *1: A protocol that outputs camera tracking data for AR/VR systems. Camera pan, tilt, zoom and focus information required for uses such as AR/VR composition is output by the AW-UE150AW/AK.
- *2: AR: Augmented Reality, VR: Virtual Reality.
* Images are simulated.
Compatible with V-Log
Compatible with V-Log, which is used in Panasonic's high-end VariCam cinema cameras and LUMIX mirrorless cameras. The wide dynamic range and wide color gamut provide images suitable for color grading. When used in conjunction with our camera recorders and studio cameras equipped with V-Log, video production with consistent image creation is possible. Simultaneously output 4K V-Log video for color grading while outputting Full HD V-709 video for onsite monitoring.
What is Log?
It has a wide color gamut and wide dynamic range, and records all brightness as evenly as possible, resulting in a low-contrast image in appearance.
The color grading tool allows a high degree of freedom in image creation using 3D LUTs and CDLs.
V-Log is a log curve developed for the VariCam cinema cameras based on our image creation philosophy and is used in many of our cameras.
For more information on V-Log, please see this reference manual. 
Cropping Function
It is possible to crop-zoom and cut out video at the same time as outputting an entire video shot in 4K. The cropping position can be specified from a maximum of three locations and can be easily operated from the AW-RP150 PTZ Camera controller or web browser screen.
Quickly Capture the Speaker with the Built-in Auto Tracking Function
Equipped with built-in auto tracking, the AW-UE150AW/AK autonomously tracks the subject, without requiring any external device to be connected, making it easy to install in classrooms and auditoriums. On-camera processing ensures quick subject tracking and minimizes missed shots. Additionally, integrating the AW-SF100/200 Auto Tracking Plug-in for the Media Production Suite enhances tracking accuracy through advanced face recognition and human body detection supported with deep learning.
The page below provides a detailed explanation of the differences between the Auto Tracking Plug-in for Media Production Suite and the built-in Auto Tracking.

Three-color Tally Lamp
Tally lamp on the front of the main unit support red, green, and yellow, the three colors commonly used in the broadcasting industry. The yellow indicator can be assigned for specific operations.
Compatible with 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.
- * Will be supported in the future.
Compatible with IT/IP platform "KAIROS"
This product is compatible with the IT/IP platform "KAIROS". It is a live video production platform developed based on a new concept and innovative architecture. It incorporates proprietary, ground-breaking software to maximize the CPU and GPU capacities for video processing.
