Aw-rp150 Firmware

[Beichen Poque]

Panasonicrecently released firmware update Ver. 2.62, which brings major improvements to the PTZ camera, including SRT, TSL 5.0 support, improved Pan/Tilt movement and Minus Gain. Along with having top of class image quality, Ver. 2.62 makes the AW-UE150 the ultimate streaming PTZ camera as well.

Gain is a digital camera setting that controls the amplification of the signal - measured by decibels (dB) - from the camera sensor. Ver. 2.62 for the UE150 brings Minus Gain with an adjustable range of -3dB to 42dB (0dB to 42dB previously). In well lit environments, by dropping the gain to -3dB, your images will contain less noise, which will produce cleaner green screen work and enable additional depth-of-field control to separate your subject from the background.

Another improvement is faster pan and tilt speed with 60-degrees/second added in acceleration (rise time) and deceleration (fall time) in Normal Pan/Tilt mode and 180-degrees/second in Fast Pan/Tilt mode. This improvement gives the UE150 the equivalent Pan/Tilt speed of the AW-HE130 PTZ camera.

There are a number of streaming protocols (RTSP, RTMP, RTMPS, etc.) to distribute video content over the Internet. Originally developed by Haivision, SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open source video transport protocol that improves video streaming performance across unpredictable networks like the public Internet.

EasyIP Setup Tool Plus is a piece of freeware that enables the centralized management of a range of network settings and firmware updates for PTZ Cameras. It supports efficient camera setup and operation in a range of situations where multiple cameras are used, including during installation work and setup for events.

To ensure proper operation and control, ensure to update both the RCP and the camera to the latest version. The Dreamchip protocol evolved and will not be compatible with older RCP software (and older RCP will not be compatible with the new camera firmware).

Demand continues to grow in the video content market

The AW-UE160 can be used in a variety of situations even when the flow of people and cost control are required, including shooting large-scale events and studio recording and streaming.

By combining a system camera with a PTZ Camera, it overturns the conventions of the video content industry with its unique style of video production that can be expressed through a variety of shooting techniques, its industry-leading shooting performance with a variety of new functions, and its scalability to support the latest international standards and a wide range of protocols and I/Fs.

High sensitivity of F14/2000 lx, equivalent to a studio camera. Noise reduction and improved image quality are realized by the newly developed image processing engine also used in LUMIX. By combining a variety of functions, including the Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) function, a new feature in the PTZ Camera that enables high-speed focusing on moving subjects, the camera can produce high-quality videos in all kinds of situations, such as shooting in dark places and shooting moving subjects. The new PTZ new mechanism provides a high-precision operating feel while maintaining a compact body to support the delicate photographic techniques of professionals and contribute to uncompromising video shooting.

The high sensitivity of F14/2000 lx allows for clear, clean images even when shooting moving subjects in dimly lit rooms such as stages and live venues. The sensitivity can be set to either Normal mode or High Sensitivity mode, depending on the shooting location and scene.

The camera uses a new-generation image processing engine, also used in the LUMIX GH6, with improved processing power. High-pixel image data output from the 1-type (1) (effective size) MOS sensor, which offers an excellent balance between adequate depth of field, high image quality and high sensitivity, is processed at high speed to improve the S/N ratio.

In terms of autofocus (AF) performance, the subject detection performance has been greatly improved through faster processing of calculations and improved AF algorithms, and highly accurate AF is achieved by discriminating between the subject's movement and characteristics. It also offers high video processing performance and enables more unique video expression with resolution performance, high sensitivity performance, and color reproduction that does not compromise your commitment to video image creation.

Analyzes the characteristics of the subject pixel by pixel and determine flat/detailed/edge areas. By controlling image processing based on the results, detailed areas are rendered with a greater sense of resolution, while edge areas are suppressed from unnatural fringing (shoot phenomenon) caused by image processing. By performing appropriate image processing according to the subject, the camera realizes true descriptive power with high reproducibility.

Equipped with a new AF system that combines phase detection AF (phase detection) with contrast AF (contrast detection). The camera's fast focusing speed and high focusing accuracy enable it to track subjects and capture in-focus images even in dark locations, whether it is continuously focusing on a moving subject or switching focus on multiple subjects.

A new PTZ mechanism was developed to maintain the compact body while incorporating a large lens for high sensitivity and system camera-level functions. The camera is quiet and does not disturb the photographer, and its high static accuracy provides high operability that allows the photographer to shoot exactly what he/she aims for.

Compatible with V-Log, which is used in Panasonic's high-end VariCam cinema cameras and LUMIX mirrorless SLR cameras. The wide dynamic range and wide color gamut provide images suitable for color grading. When used in conjunction with our camera recorders and studio cameras equipped with V-Log, video production with consistent image creation is possible. In addition, two settings, V-Log and V-709, can be selected independently for each output interface. Simultaneously output 4K V-Log video for color grading while outputting Full HD V-709 video for onsite monitoring.

What is Log

It has a wide color gamut and wide dynamic range, and records all brightness as evenly as possible, resulting in a low-contrast image in appearance.

The color grading tool allows a high degree of freedom in image creation using 3D LUTs and CDLs.

V-Log is a log curve developed for the VariCam cinema cameras based on our image creation philosophy and is used in many of our cameras.

In addition to the conventional 2-axis in-lens image stabilization (Pitch/Yaw), which is based on fine-tuning of the lens, the camera also features roll correction that uses electronic image processing technology to provide highly effective correction. Vibrations on the mounting surface caused by installed audio equipment, opening and closing of doors, etc. are automatically compensated for to ensure stable imaging.

First PTZ Camera to be equipped*1 with the SMPTE ST2110 standard*2, 5G mobile router (USB thethering support) for high-speed, high-capacity video transmission (USB tethering support, return function for use as a prompter for performers, and two XLR channels for audio output to enable high-quality recording. It also supports essential functions for use with a system camera, such as a maximum 2x high-speed shooting function and a tally lamp on the rear panel.

The AW-UE160, which has been updated to specifications equivalent to those of a system camera while maintaining the flexibility of a PTZ Camera that can be freely set to any position and angle, can be applied to both use and replacement of a system camera, giving users a wide range of options for future video expression and production.

SMPTE ST 2110 Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks

The SMPTE standard is an international standard that brings together several standards for communicating video over IP networks. The standardization of this standard has made it possible to handle individual data such as video, audio, and auxiliary data, enabling highly accurate synchronization.

The switch from SDI to IP-based transmission is underway in the broadcasting and video industry as a result of the standardization of the SMPTE ST2110 standard.

The camera can be used as a prompter for return images and manuscript displays where the performer checks the video being streamed or broadcast on the spot*2, allowing adjustment and shooting to the targeted angle when performing chroma key compositing or when linking with AR/VR systems.

The camera is equipped with two XLR channels for audio input, allowing audio input from the left and right sides of the venue with high-performance microphones. It can also be used for filming at live performances, theatrical performances, and other sites where the acoustics are vital.

4K video data can be wirelessly transmitted on the spot by connecting a 5G mobile router or other devices via USB to the terminal on the rear panel. It is also possible to broadcast events and live streams from locations where cables are not laid or from outdoor event venues.

The tally, which was only available on the front (subject side), is now also available on the rear (photographer side) so that you can see the camera taking pictures from any angle. The tally lamp can be linked to the front and rear sides to set the brightness and select ON/OFF. The yellow tally lamp can be used for any number of applications, such as when there are a large number of cameras, when multiple cameras are used on site, or when simultaneous streaming and recording are required.
