Panasonic Develops World’s First^*1 PTZ Cameras Featuring a Global Shutter MOS Sensor

Tokyo, Japan, September 2, 2026 – Panasonic Corporation (“Panasonic”) today announced the development of two high-end PTZ camera series — AW-UE200 and AW-UER200 series, — both featuring the world’s first*¹ global shutter MOS sensor in PTZ cameras. The AW-UE200 series, which includes the AW-UE200W/K (Standard model) and the AW-UE210W/K equipped with SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante®,*² will be released in February 2027.*³ The AW-UER200 series, which includes the AW-UER200W/K (Roll model) and the AW-UER210W/K also equipped with SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante^®, will be released in the second quarter of CY 2027.*³

Panasonic’s high-end PTZ cameras, led by the AW-UE160W/K, have long delivered high-quality imagery that blends seamlessly with footage from studio cameras, opening up new possibilities for PTZ camera applications. In addition to current applications, such as precise virtual reproduction in studios using LED walls, the range is expanding into areas requiring more sophisticated visual expression. Prime examples include live events with constantly changing lighting and staging conditions, and sports broadcasts that require accurate capture of split-second action. To meet the demands of modern creators and capture every fleeting moment with unparalleled reliability, Panasonic has now developed the AW-UE200 and AW-UER200 series. Featuring a global shutter system and core technologies that expand creative expression, both new series open up exciting new possibilities for PTZ cameras.

The AW-UE200 and AW-UER200 series are the first*¹ PTZ cameras to adopt a global shutter MOS sensor. The resulting low-distortion images support video production in a wide range of environments, including LED-wall reshoots in studio settings, live events with dynamic lighting effects, and sports broadcasts featuring fast-moving subjects.
In studio environments, the sensor is highly compatible with LED walls, delivering natural, distortion-free footage. At live events, the sensor minimizes flicker caused by stage lighting and LED effects, preserving the intended artistic vision. In sports broadcasting, the sensor captures fast-moving subjects without distortion to faithfully deliver immersive, realistic scenes. In addition, 5K oversampling delivers high-resolution 4K footage rich in detail, faithfully rendering the subject's texture, contours, and fine details to expand the range of creative expression in video production. Furthermore, both series will also support high frame rate (HFR) HD high-speed shooting at 120 fps and 180 fps (following a future update*³) to deliver high-resolution footage with clear detail for slow-motion replays and referee reviews.

Both series feature a 22x optical zoom*⁴ to capture subjects clearly, even in large venues. The lens supports variable zoom speeds, ranging from approx. 0.5 seconds (telephoto to wide-angle) to as slow as 180 seconds, enabling smooth zoom effects that can be tailored to the scene or the creator’s intent. Furthermore, an 80° horizontal angle of view captures broad scenes, even in confined spaces.

The AW-UE200 series has a pan and tilt mechanism that operates with high precision at low to ultra-high speeds, enabling real-time responses to operator commands for smooth camera movements. With a maximum speed of 400 deg/s and the ability to accelerate from a standstill to top speed in approximately 0.2 seconds, combined with high responsiveness, the camera instantly follows subjects even in fast-paced scenes, reliably capturing the action to prevent missed shots and deliver dynamic, immersive footage.

The AW-UER200 series features a roll mechanism with a range of –200° to +200°. In addition to enabling striking compositions, such as roll effects, simultaneous 16:9 and 9:16 output provides flexible support for vertical video suited to social media and streaming. The result is camera work based on the “shot you want” rather than “where you must place the camera.”
Furthermore, the roll mechanism dramatically improves installation flexibility. One-touch horizontal leveling from the remote controller supports quick setup on robotic mounts such as cranes, and in challenging environments such as angled ceilings.

The AW-UE210W/K and AW-UER210W/K support SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante®. In addition to uncompressed 4K video output, SMPTE ST 2110 will support low-latency transmission using JPEG XS through a future firmware update*³ and enables return video workflows via IP input.
The cameras also support Dante® audio, providing flexible IP-based operation to suit a wide range of applications and system configurations. Furthermore, both SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante® support redundant connections, enabling seamless integration into existing redundant infrastructures.

As an industry leader, Panasonic remains committed to the needs of production sites and to making PTZ cameras more intuitive and convenient to use, while continuing to deliver new value through cameras that combine technological innovation with visual beauty.

Both series will be exhibited at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2026, Europe's largest broadcast-equipment trade show, in Amsterdam from September 11 to 14, 2026.
