AW-HE130: Panasonic's new remote camera capable of transmitting video over IP without an encoder

Panasonic has taken advantage of the fair Monitorexpo, which was held in Copenhagen on November 5 and 6, to present its AW-HE130 remote camera characterized by using a single LAN cable for power, control and Full HD video output functions. This is possible thanks to the PoE+ function that allows you to reduce installation costs and cut expenses, since you can transmit video over IP without the need for an encoder.

This Panasonic camera is a high-sensitivity device equipped with three 1/2.86 type MOS sensors that allow high-quality recordings, even in low light conditions, and is capable of transmitting Full HD video over IP. Its IP browser allows it to be controlled from mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones, or computers. In addition, it has HD-SDI and HDMI connections, and is very quiet since it lacks a fan.

“This model replaces the HE120 and is the right device for similar applications, be it live streaming of classes and video conferences and, of course, live television or documentary production,” explains Markus Naegele, Panasonic Product Marketing Manager.

The AW-HE130 camera includes an infrared night mode and a digital magnification function that increases the effective focal length of the lens by 40% and offers smooth, high-resolution recordings. The image quality correction function allows you to create precise recordings.

Furthermore, in addition to the conventional 12 axes, it includes three skin tone axes to provide more precise tones. It also allows chromatic temperature adjustments using a dial with which it is possible to represent colors depending on the application. The optical image stabilization system (OIS) automatically corrects small vibrations caused by the opening and closing of doors, guaranteeing stable video recordings.
