📣 Panasonic announces the new AW-UE200 - world's 1st global shutter PTZ camera!

The UE200 features a new 5K 1.2-type Global Shutter MOS sensor sits at the core of this camera, paired with a newly developed ultra-fast zoom lens covering an 80° wide angle through 22x optical zoom.

For fast-moving action, it supports HD recording at 180fps for immersive slow-motion capture, backed by high-speed, highly responsive PTZ performance that tracks every operator command in real time.

It's built to cut down operational workload and simplify production workflows - and on the AW-UE210W/K models, you get seamless IP integration via SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante. Find out more below from Panasonic and get in touch for more details and to pre-order.

Meet The World’s First* Global Shutter PTZ Cameras: AW-UE200 and AW-UER200

Your new tool for outstanding performance in a variety of shooting scenarios:

🔹 Complete skew and flash band elimination

🔹 Reliable tracking of fast-moving subjects

🔹 Ultra high-speed pan-tilt movements, with maximum speed: 400°/sec and acceleration speed: 1800°/sec

🔹AW-UER200: A roll axis range of -200° to +200° and supports vertical (9:16) and horizontal (16:9) video output using full sensor.

The new series is designed to integrate effortlessly into professional production environments, thanks to built-in Auto-Framing, SMPTE ST 2110, JPEG-XS and Dante® support and one-touch horizontal levelling that enables quick setup in difficult-to-reach areas and angled ceilings.
