Introducing the AW-UE80 4K Professional PTZ Camera

The dome-shape design minimizes “the feeling of being recorded on video” while the new direct-drive motor produces a very quiet operating sound so it won’t disturb the production activities or spoil the ambience. The camera offers high-image-quality 4K/60p resolution, wide 74.1° angle and optical zoom with up to 24x magnification to achieve superb video image quality. The AW-UE80W/K also offers excellent stability and security during video streaming so it can be used for any type of video production. From production of a reality show to recording of an internal business or educational event, the top-of-the-line standard model, AW-UE80W/K, can be used in a diversity of applications.

Optical 24x Zoom & 74.1° Horizontal Wide Angle Lens

Adding "iZoom" to the AW-UE80's exceptional 24x optical zoom, maintains high resolution while enabling ultra-high resolution 36x zoom in HD mode. This enables distant subjects to be captured clearly. Furthermore, 74.1° horizontal wide-angle shooting allows you to capture the entire area with one camera, even when installation space is limited.

Versatile Video Outputs for a Range of Video Productions

The AW-UE80 supports three popular output interfaces, including 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP, providing you with a range of options for current camera installations, while also preparing you for future video workflows.

Multiple Control Options for Small or Large Scale Production

The AW-UE80 can be controlled via the web browser when connected to the network, allowing for quick and easy camera movement, preset access, and image adjustments. Additionally, the camera can be controlled using the AW-RM50 IR remote control and the AW-RP150 / AW-RP60 hardware-based camera controllers. These control choices make it easy to integrate the UE80 into your video production workflow.

An IP connection from the AW-RP150 Remote Camera Controller through a HUB (switching hub) enables control of up to 200  x AW-UE80 cameras. Furthermore, a single AW-UE80 unit can be controlled from up to 5 x AW-RP150 units.

Live AR/VR Video Production via FreeD Protocol

To be able to incorporate realistic VR (virtual reality) or AR (augmented reality) studio sets in your live productions, accurate camera positioning data is imperative. The AW-UE80 features the FreeD protocol, which provides you with the option to output Pan / Tilt / Zoom / Iris information via Serial (RS 422) and IP (UDP) directly from the camera to your AR/VR tracking system.

Flexible Installation & Mounting Options

Weighing only 4.4 lbs, the AW-UE80 is lightweight and compact enough for easy permanent or portable installs. It’s equipped with a turn lock mechanism for easy installation and comes standard with a safety cable for extra security and peace of mind.

• Blend-in: The camera is exceptionally easy to integrate and is available in two colors (AW-UE80W: pearl white / AW-UE80K: black matte) to suit a wide range of applications.
• Ceiling Mount: A twist-lock ceiling mount is included as a standard accessory.
• Tripod Mount: The UE80 is also equipped with a 1/4-20 tripod mounting screw receptacle and a safety lanyard for use with many mounting and grip systems.
• Wall Mount: An optional heavy-duty wall mount is available in either black (FEC-40WMK) or white (FEC-40WMW).
• Pole Mount: Easily mount the UE80 to an A/V ceiling extension pole by pairing the FEC-40WM wall mount with the FEC-PA1 adapter.

Fresh New Web Interface

Camera IP image output, settings, and control can be performed using a web browser on a computer connected via an IP network. In addition to PCs and Macs, iPads, iPhones, Androids and other mobile devices can be used for operation, and this pursuit of easy-to-use interfaces has enabled smooth camera control from remote locations.

Supports SRT for Secure and Reliable Video Streaming

The AW-UE80 supports SRT, a next generation video transport protocol that provides robust security and works well even with an unstable network environment. This prevents trouble such as transmission interruptions during program production or event recording, thus assuring stable and reliable video streaming. This protocol can prevent risks such as information leakage, so it can be used safely for any video content.

Directly Integrates into the NDI Ecosystem

The AW-UE80 supports high bandwidth NDI® for IP transmission of high-quality videos with low latency and NDI®|HX for efficient video transmission on a network with limited bandwidth. With this flexibility, the UE80 can provide stable video streaming regardless of network bandwidth.  Since the video source is accessible from any device on the same network, even unknown IP addresses are automatically recognized. This allows for a flexible video production flow at the shooting site.

Smooth Camera Movement & Quiet Operation with Direct Drive System

The operating sound is quiet so there is no need to worry about the camera sound spoiling the ambience even when producing a reality show or recording an event. The new direct-drive motor operates quietly during panning (horizontal movement) and tilting (vertical movement) so it does not disturb the recording of crucial scenes.

What’s more, the new direct-drive motor stops precisely at a desired position, returns exactly to a preset position when the preset function is used for accurate camerawork, moves smoothly to accurately follow subjects moving at different speeds and allows speed setting. Combined with the quietness of operations, these features and functions can play an active part in a diversity of video production.

Single Cable Installation with PoE++

With PoE++ technology , the AW-UE80 offers an optimal level of installation flexibility, providing not just power to the camera, but also enabling camera control and audio/video output, all via a single LAN cable. Using PoE++ with the UE80 camera simplifies cable runs, decreases overall installation costs, and in some cases, eliminates the need for having a dedicated electrician onsite for the install.

Useful Software to Simplify Workflow

The AW-UE80 supports various software such as Auto Tracking Software and PTZ Control Center. The software simplifies the shooting workflow using PTZ cameras and reduces the operation and management workloads.
