Panasonic unveils new PTZ and studio cameras

Both cameras will have first UK Panasonic demonstration at the Media Production & Technology Show

Panasonic unveiled two new cameras at ISE 2023, the PTZ AW-UE160 and studio camera AK-PLV100GSJ.

The UE160 is a new entrant in the studio and upper end PTZ market, and includes a high senstivity of F14/2000 lx, a newly developed Phase Detection Autofocus for auto tracking and focus, and an optical low pass filter that eliminates the moire effect for use in virtual production. It is also the industry’s first PTZ with SMPTE 2110 standard compatibility, and supports 2X high speed, 120 frames-per-second, with pre-orders shipping at the end of February.

Meanwhile, the PLV100 is a studio camera and includes a 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL Lens mount to accommodate shallow depth of field, with focus assist - a visual aid for auto focus. It is also switchable between cinematic 24p/30p and a 60p broadcast capture frame rate. It outputs SMPTE ST2110 video directly from its camera head, and requires an optical-fiber connection for return input, intercom input/output, PTP synchronization, trunk out, and tally input. It becomes available at the end of March.

MPTS takes place at Olympia London, 10-11 May, and is the UK’s largest event for the broadcast media, production and technology industry. You can register to attend for free here.

  • The atmosphere at MPTS has been amazing this year. MPTS is definitely one of the industry’s most diverse shows, if not the most diverse, both in terms of attendees and panelists. A huge amount of work goes into making sure that there is equal representation across an extensive conference programme.

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
