Panasonic AW-UE100 4K NDI Professional Streaming PTZ Camera

Product Overview

The Panasonic AW-UE100 is a 4K NDI PTZ camera built for live production, lecture capture, and high-volume streaming where a single LAN cable needs to carry broadcast-quality video. It captures and outputs 4K 60p, transmits over full-bandwidth NDI, NDI|HX, and SRT, and adds 12G-SDI for hard-wired routing into a production switcher. A 24x optical zoom paired with a 74.1-degree wide-angle lens lets one camera cover everything from a tight podium shot to a full conference room or auditorium stage.

Product Description

Designed for integrators standardizing on IP video workflows, the AW-UE100 supports high-bandwidth NDI at up to 250 Mbps for 4K and 100 Mbps for HD, providing low-latency transport over standard Ethernet without dedicated coax runs. SRT keeps streams stable across unmanaged or public networks, while RTMP/RTMPS pushes content directly to platforms such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live from the camera itself. For studio and broadcast environments, 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and HDMI outputs route video into existing infrastructure. A new Direct Drive pan/tilt mechanism improves responsiveness and lowers operating noise for quiet rooms, and combined optical (OIS) and electronic (EIS) image stabilization holds the shot steady on rail and robotic systems. FreeD command output integrates the camera into AR/VR systems without a separate encoder. The AW-UE100 works alongside the higher-output AW-UE150A and AW-UE160 in multi-camera rigs, steps up from the compact AW-UE50, and is fully controllable from the AW-RP150 remote camera controller.

Key Features

• NDI, NDI|HX and SRT — Multiple IP transmission protocols let the camera fit both LAN-based production and unstable public-network streaming from a single device.
• 4K 60p Capture — Smooth 3840 x 2160 video at 60p/50p delivers clean motion for live events and detailed pulls in post.
• 12G-SDI Output — A single-cable 12G-SDI feed carries uncompressed 4K into a switcher or router alongside 3G-SDI and HDMI.
• 24x Optical Zoom — Long reach maintains image quality at high zoom ratios for large rooms and stage coverage.
• 74.1-Degree Wide-Angle Lens — A wide horizontal field of view captures a full room from a limited mounting position.
• PoE++ Single-Cable Operation — Power, control, and video travel over one Ethernet cable, simplifying ceiling and wall installs; an AC adapter is also included.
• Direct Drive Pan/Tilt — The mechanical drive improves responsiveness and reduces audible noise in quiet conference and worship spaces.
• Optical and Electronic Stabilization — OIS plus roll-axis EIS keeps footage steady on robotic and rail-mounted systems.
• FreeD AR/VR Output — Pan, tilt, zoom, focus, and iris data output with a sync signal for encoder-free augmented and virtual reality systems.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio
• Auditorium
• House of worship
• Conference room
• All-hands room
• Training room

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AW-UE100 send 4K video over a single network cable? Yes. It supports high-bandwidth NDI over standard Ethernet, and PoE++ delivers power, control, and video on the same cable, which simplifies ceiling and wall installations.

Does it integrate with my existing SDI production switcher? Yes. The camera provides 12G-SDI for uncompressed 4K plus 3G-SDI and HDMI, so it routes into both 4K and HD infrastructures.

Which controller should I use for multi-camera operation? The Panasonic AW-RP150 provides full PTZ, preset, and menu control over IP and is a common pairing in multi-camera rigs.

Will it stream reliably over an unmanaged or public network? SRT is built in to maintain stable, high-quality transport across networks with packet loss, and RTMP/RTMPS streams directly to services such as YouTube Live.
