Panasonic Corporation has developed a new AW-UE4WG/KG 4K Integrated Camera with high-quality 4K video output, equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens. The product is scheduled to be released in October 2019.

A variety of video formats are supported, beginning with 3840 x 2160 30p/29.97p/25p 4K output. Also featuring an ultra-wide-angle lens with a 111° field of view, the product can capture corner to corner of even the largest spaces, and it enables highly flexible installation and transmission of wide-angle video in limited installation spaces.

It is equipped with three video output interfaces, HDMI, LAN and USB, enabling the configuration and operation of the system in a wide variety of situations.

Also, in addition to supporting PoE (Power over Ethernet) supply, the new camera can be powered via USB cable, enabling a single cable solution for video transmission, camera control, and power supply over a LAN or USB cable.

RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) compatibility also allows direct upload of video to live-streaming services, making it excellent for live production use.

Cinema Prime lenses are available in PL or Canon EF (image circle 46.7mm), MFT (40.8mm), Sony E (45.6mm) mounts, and feature internal focus system, transmission T1.5, and robust construction.

The lightweight display mounts directly to the BRAIN without the need for any tools or hardware. Convenient thumbscrews enable you to attach and remove the display on-the-fly. Featuring a hinge design that rotates nearly 360° and folds down to lay flat for easy transportation, as well as a 180° image rotation option—the DSMC2 Touch 7.0" Ultra-Brite LCD (Direct Mount) is one of the most ergonomic DSMC2 displays available.
