Description
AW-HE40SW/SK-PTZ.
Features 30x optical zoom lens and support for PoE+* for outstanding operability and installation flexibility
*Abbreviation of Power over Ethernet Plus.
Full HD camera with integrated pan-tilt for lectures, meetings and a wide variety of applications.
The AW-HE40 series of integrated full HD cameras performs in a wide variety of onsite shooting applications that require high-quality video, such as conferences, lecture capture and other events, thanks to its high-performance zoom, wide angle of view and outstanding color reproducibility. In addition to IP video transmission, support for PoE+*1 enables power to be supplied via a LAN cable* 2. The result is installation flexibility. It also supports HD-IP video output, output of video and audio via USB, and SD card recording.
Developed 1/2.3-type MOS Sensor.
Equipped with a developed 1/2.3-type MOS sensor and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for high sensitivity and high resolution.
High Performance Optical 30x Zoom Lens/ Super Resolution 40x Zoom.
In addition to a 30x optical zoom, the AW-HE40 series can zoom up to 40x while maintaining high resolution thanks to Super Resolution technology. It also features a 16x digital zoom*3 and a 1.4x digital extender, which enables the AW-HE40 series to shoot in large conference halls and classrooms.
Outputs Still Image During Preset Movements; Supports One-Camera Operations.
The new Freeze During Preset function enables to freeze the video during preset playback. The immediately preceding still image is output during preset movements so that the swiveling movement is not displayed, making operations possible with one camera.
Night Mode (supports automatic switching).
Switching to Night Mode makes shooting possible even in low light conditions in which shooting is normally dif cult, such as when observing wildlife*4. The AW-HE40 series can also be set to switch to the mode automatically depending on surrounding light levels.
Equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mode.
In addition to conventional Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), the AW-HE40 series are newly equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. When shooting and synthesizing two images with differing exposure times, the AW-HE40 series can create video with high visibility that corrects for halation and black defects even under backlit conditions.
Either SDI Model or HDMI Model Can Be Selected To Match Usage Needs.
Supports 1080/59.94p (HDMI model only), 29.97p*5, 59.94i, 29,97PsF, 1080/50p (HDMI model only), 25p* 5, 50i, 25PsF, 720/59.94p, and 50p video formats. Flexible operation in line with the application is made possible by a lineup that includes an SDI output model (AW-HE40SW/SK), optimal for video content production, and an HDMI output model (AW-HE40HW/HK), optimal for video streaming, both of which come in two body colors (white and black) that can be selected depending on the usage environment.
Video/Audio Output with USB.
USB Video Class and USB Audio Class are supported. This enables video and audio output via USB so the cameras can be used as high-image-quality Web cameras for Web conferencing, distance learning, and other applications utilizing communication software.
Audio Input Function.
The AW-HE40 series also supports audio input, embedding and encoding. Audio output to IP is also supported. The ALC (Audio Automatic Level Control) in the original AW-HE40 series can be switched ON/OFF and an equalizer function can be used. By reducing low-frequency sound from air conditioners, projectors, and other devices, it is possible to emphasize and increase the clarity of the spoken words.
* 1: Abbreviation of Power over Ethernet Plus. * 2: The software for the AW-HE40 series may need to be updated depending on the existing software version. For details, see the Panasonic website (https://pro-av.panasonic.net/). * 3: Picture quality is lower with the digital zoom. * 4: Video output is monochrome. * 5: Native output.
microSD Card Recording Function.
MicroSD card recording is supported. Camera video and audio can be recorded in MP4 format on microSD card (sold separately) inserted into the unit. In addition, using an IP network, it is possible to externally control recording start/stop and download the recorded files.
Full HD Video Output Via IP Transmission.
In addition to HD-SDI and HDMI output, production quality full HD video output via IP transmission is supported. The camera delivers up to four channels of IP streaming video (H.264), with a maximum quality level of 1080/60p at 24 Mbps* 1. Simultaneous transmission to as many as 14 devices is also supported* 2. Flexible system setup is possible to meet various application needs.
NDI HX Compatibility for Excellent Video Streaming Quality.
The AW-HE40 series can be upgraded to an NDI HX Connection compatible model if purchasing a license from the NewTek website (https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/ndihx_support/index.html). Highly efficient NDI HX compatibility enables excellent broadcast streaming by encoding and transmitting high-quality video in real time. This technology eliminates the need for IP decoders, allowing input to be sent directly to the switcher.
Supporting PoE+* 6 for Lower Installation Costs.
By connecting network devices that support the IEEE802.3at PoE+ standard, power can be supplied via LAN cable. Since it is not necessary to install a power supply or even a local AC outlet, installation costs can be significantly reduced.
IP Control with Image Monitoring Using PC, Mac and Mobile Terminals.
Using an IP browser, the camera can be controlled from a remote location, and IP video monitoring and remote camera control can be performed from a PC, Mac or mobile terminal such as an iPhone, iPad or Android device, enabling easy operations. IP video*7 can be transmitted to up to 14 terminals*1.
Flexible IP Control Architecture Simplifies System Design and Operation* 8.
Up to 100 x AW-HE40 series cameras can be controlled via IP from a single AW-RP120G/RP50 or PC. An AW-HE40 series can also be simultaneously controlled by up to five AW-RP120G/RP50 controllers via IP.
* 1: 1920 x 1080 60 fps output is 1ch display only. For 2ch or more, display is max. 30 fps. Also, JPEG output is up to 3ch. * 2: Depends on your network environment. *3: Settable when HDR is “Off”. * 4: Settable when HDR is set to “Off” and the frame rate is other than 60fps (or 50fps). * 5: Not settable when HDR is “Off”. * 6: Abbreviation of Power over Ethernet Plus. * 7: Supports only SD video output. * 8: Controller upgrade required. For details, please refer to the “service and support” section on the Panasonic website (https://pro-av.panasonic.net/). * 9: AC adaptor AW-PS551 (sold separately) is required for AW-RP120G
Exceptional Pan-tilt Performance for Smooth Shooting Over a Wide Area* 1.
The pan range of ±175° and the tilt range of -30° to +90° cover a wide shooting area* 1 . Pan and tilt operate at a maximum speed of 90°/second and respond quickly to remote control operation. They operate quietly at a sound level of NC35 or lower.
* 1. Depending on the position of the pan and tilt, the unit itself may be reflected in the image.
