• Optical low-pass filter significantly reduces moiré
• Newly developed 4K Sensor offering superior sensitivity
• Significantly improved Autofocus with advanced technology
• SMPTE 2110 Support with purchase of additional software key

Next Level PTZ Camera Performance

The AW-UE160 PTZ camera supports return input and high-speed shooting, which are indispensable for building a combined system with a system camera and is equipped with a tally lamp on the rear panel and two XLR channels for audio output. It is the first ever remote camera to support the SMPTE ST2110 standard¹ and 5G router (USB tethering compatible), the standard for IP transmission in the broadcasting industry. The flexibility of the remote camera to freely set positions and angles and the specifications comparable to those of a system camera allow for the pursuit of unique and new video expression.

Advanced Connectivity

The AW-UE160 supports HDMI, 3G-SDI, and IP output as well as 12G-SDI output and optical fiber output. Also equipped with two XLR channels for audio input.

The camera handles both large and small spaces thanks to 4K high image quality and wide-angle video output that's perfect for recording everything from lectures and meetings to e-Sports production.

The AJ-PX800G is a new-generation camera-recorder for news gathering. It is network connectable and provides superb picture quality, high mobility and excellent costperformance. Weighing only about 2.8 kg (main unit), the AJ-PX800G is the world's lightest shoulder-type camera-recorder equipped with three MOS image sensors for broadcasting applications. It also supports AVC-ULTRA multi-codec recording. The picture quality and recorded data rate can be selected from one of the AVC-ULTRA family of codec's (AVC-Intra/AVC-LongG) according to the application. Along with a Low-rate AVC-Proxy dual-codec recording ideal for network-based operation and off-line editing. Built-in network functions support wired LAN, wireless LAN and 4G/LTE network connections, enabling on-site preview, uploading data to a server and streaming. The AJ-PX800G is a single-package solution for virtually all broadcasting needs.

Overwhelming image quality with a resolution of 2,000 TV lines.

The camera is equipped with a large 11.14-megapixel 4K image sensor and uses oversampling to achieves horizontal and vertical resolution of 2,000 TV lines. An S/N ratio of 62 dB or higher is maintained with a high sensitivity of F10/59.94 Hz, F11/50 Hz enabling shooting of expressive, high-quality video.

PTZ cameras play an increasingly important role in teleworking such as online meetings and online classes.The AW-UE20 offers high image quality, wide shooting angle and high-magnification zoom to provide more comfortable communication through high-quality video images and stable transmission.The AW-UE20 is compatible with a wide range of systems such as SDI, HDMI, USB and IP, thus allowing flexible camera setup and operation.
