Product Information

AW-HE42K Full HD PTZ Camera – Black

High-Performance Lenses and a variety of Application Examples interfaces support a wide range of Live Video Production Environments

The AW-HE42W/K is a full HD camera with an integrated rotating base equipped with 3G-SDI and a variety of other output connectors. The four types of output interfaces and the genlock function support smooth large-scale shooting with multiple cameras. The camera is perfect for a wide range of environments, from recording and Stand-Alone broadcast of lectures, to live streaming at concerts and other events.

The Four Drive Lens System: Zoom with Incredible Image Quality
The camera is equipped with the Four Drive Lens System, where three zoom lenses and one focus lens are driven independently but simultaneously. Driving each of the four lenses individually enables reduction in lens size and drive range to achieve a reduced-size body with zoom of high image quality and magnification. Despite its compact size, the camera boasts optical 20xzoom and high performance, ultra-high-resolution 30x zoom.

1/2.3-type MOS Sensor
Equipped with a 1/2.3-type MOS sensor and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) for high sensitivity and high resolution.

High Performance Optical 20x Zoom Lens/Super Resolution 30x Zoom
In addition to optical 20x zoom, ultra-high-resolution technology has enabled zoom of up to 30x while maintaining high resolution. The camera 2 can also be set with 12x digital zoom*, or 1.4, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0 or 8.0 digital extender zoom.

*2: Picture quality is lower with the digital zoom.

External Sync Signal Input Connector Plus Four Types of Output*1 Connectors: HDMI, SDI, USB and LAN
Full HD video output is enabled with HDMI, SDI, USB and LAN. The camera1is also equipped with an external sync signal*input connector as well as BBS (Black Burst Sync) and tri-level sync. The camera enables exible system construction ready to handle any purpose or environment.

Optical / Four-Axis Hybrid Image Stabilizer (OIS) for Shooting Stability
Image shake is reduced with both optical and digital 4-axis automatic stabilization that detects mounting surface vibration caused by audio equipment and opening/closing doors.

Night Mode (Supports Automatic Switching)
Switching to Night Mode makes shooting possible even in low light conditions in which shooting is normally difficult, such as when observing wildlife*. The AW-HE42W/K can also be set to switch to the mode automatically depending on surrounding light levels.

*3: Video output is monochrome

Equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mode
In addition to conventional Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), the AW-HE42W/K is equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. When shooting and synthesizing two images with differing exposure times, the AW-HE42W/K can create video with high visibility that corrects for halation and black defects even under backlit conditions.

NDI | HX Compatibility for Excellent Video Streaming Quality
The AW-HE42W/K can be upgraded to an NDI | HX compatible model if purchasing a license from the Panasonic website model.HX compatibility enables excellent broadcast|Highly efficient NDI streaming by encoding and transmitting high-quality video in realtime. This technology eliminates the need for IP decoders, allowing input to be sent directly to the switcher.

* Contact your local Panasonic vendor for further information.

Outputs Still Image During Preset Movements; Supports One-Camera Operations
The 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 swivelling movement is not displayed, making operations possible with one camera

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.

Audio Input Function
The AW-HE42W/K also supports audio input, embedding and encoding. Audio output to IP is also supported. The ALC (Audio Automatic Level Control) in the AW-HE42W/K 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 thespoken words.

MicroSD Card Recording Function*1
Camera video and audio can be recorded in MP4 format on microSDcard (sold separately) inserted into the unit. In addition, using an IPnetwork, it is possible to externally control recording start/stop and download the recorded les.

Supported formats for micro SD (recording):
1080/59.94p,1080/50p,1080/29.97p,1080/25p,720/59.94p,720/50p,720/29.97p,720/25p

Full HD Video Output Via IP Transmission
IP transmission as well as HDMI, SDI and USB output are supported to enable IP video output of up to 60 frames per second.2Multi-streaming output (H.264 streaming) of up to four channels*per camera and video transmission to up to 14 terminals are 3 supported*, enabling a variety of system layouts as needed for the application.

Video Production
An AW-HE42W/K can be effectively added to an existing studio switcher. The compact camera boasts excellent cost performance for building a television program filming system for professional applications.

Web Conferencing
An AW-HE42W/K with high image quality zoom installed in at webcan be conferences in large venues. The PTZ virtual USB driver (free software) enables other remote cameras connected via LAN to be used as USB cameras.
