Enter the World of P.T.Z.
The AW-HE38 camera is designed to
produce great results in a variety
of applications that require
high-quality video and precise
control—such as conference video,
event capture, staging, distance
learning and houses-of-worship.
Thanks to their precision 22X
optical zoom lenses, wide field of
view, smooth PTZ functions and
exceptional image quality, HE38
cameras are ideal for demanding
remote production and IMAG use. With
IP-Preview transmission and control,
and support for PoE+ (which allows
power to be supplied via a LAN
cable), the HE38 also offers the
flexibility needed for easy
installation and management.
It's All in the Optics
In addition to a 22x optical zoom,
the AW-HE38 also features
intelligent zoom up to 30x and a
1.4x digital extender to capture
crisp close-ups even in large
auditoriums and lecture halls. The
HE38 delivers an impressive
signal-to-noise ratio of 54dB
(F4/2000lx, minimum illumination,
.35 lx), 1000 TV lines of resolution
and 16-axis color matrix control for
precise camera “painting” and
matching. The HE38 already includes
many innovative standard features
developed to expand the capabilities
of professional video system users.
In addition to Panasonic's Dynamic
Range Stretch (DRS) and advanced
Digital Noise Reduction (DNR), an
ingenious High Dynamic Range (HDR)
mode helps to produce very good
video even in extreme contrast and
lighting conditions.
See in the Dark
For
shooting in virtually total
darkness, the HE38's Night Mode
makes it possible to automatically
switch to the capture of
high-quality, HD monochrome video
with the use of an (optional) IR
illuminator in the 850nm range,
making the camera ideal for reality
show production, sleep lab research
and staging support.
Versatile, Smooth & Lightweight
The pan range of ±175° and the tilt
range of -30° to +90° cover a wide
shooting area. Pan and tilt operate
at a maximum speed of 90°/second and
respond quickly to remote control
operation. They operate quietly at a
sound level of NC35 or lower. Up to
100 preset positions and camera
settings are stored in the camera,
more than enough for the most
demanding large venue installation.
The camera weighs only 3.3 lbs. and
consumes just over 14.4 watts at 12
VDC.
Connected –
Professional Interfacing for all
sorts of remote production
Video Outputs:
Standard professional interfaces
include HD-SDI, as well as
IP/Network for single cable delivery
of high-quality content up to
1080/60i.
Audio
Input: Audio input and
embedding (on IP, HDMI) are also
available via a switchable, stereo
MIC/LINE input.
Serial Control: RS-422
serial compatibility is available
for serial-based control workflows
(i.e. connection to AW-RP50/120 or
previous controllers). RS-232 and
RS-422 VISCA protocol is available
when introducing a Panasonic camera
into an existing control structure.
USB or microSD Card
Recording: The mini-USB
connector allows the AW-HE38 to be
utilized as a USB camera utilizing
standard USB Video/Audio class
drivers. Many applications that
connect to USB cameras, such as
teleconferencing or software
switching solutions, will be able to
connect to the HE38 without external
converters. Alternatively, microSD
recording enables ISO MP4/H.264
recording internally in the HE38,
transfer of content over the network
via web browser or FTP.
Network Connected: The
LAN port on the HE38 unleashes the
possibilities
• Power of
Ethernet+ (PoE+) for easier system
installation and setup.
•
Control the camera via the network with an AW-RP50/120
hardware controller or Panasonic
software solutions
•
Access the built-in web interface to monitor and control all
aspects of the camera
•
Utilize a supported third party control system from broadcast
control systems, switchers, lecture
capture systems, AV Control system
and more
•
By default, the camera has a built-in H.264/MJPEG encoder for
7 channels of encoding up to 25Mbps.
Pair with a supported hardware or
software decoder
•
Available NDI|HX upgrade (a technology of NewTek Inc.) for
the ultimate single cable production
workflow with Ultra low latency
video, audio, control, tally, and
power over a single cable
(new.tk/ndi_panasonic)
Flexible Installation &
Mounting
Blend-in: The
camera is exceptionally easy to
integrate and is available in two
colors (-W: pearl white and -K:
black matte) to suit a wide range of
applications.
Ceiling Mount: A twist-lock
ceiling mount is included as a
standard accessory.
Tripod Mount for Mobile Production:
The HE38 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).
