PANASONIC PIONEERS GLOBAL SHUTTER TECHNOLOGY WITH AW-UE200 & AW-UER200 PTZ SERIES

New cameras are first to feature global shutter MOS sensors, enabling high-speed 4K image capture for sports broadcasting, studio production and live events.

WIESBADEN, Germany, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic's brand new AW-UE200/AW-UER200 series of remote, high performance 4K PTZ cameras are the industry's first[1] PTZ cameras to include a global shutter MOS sensor. The cameras feature ultra-high speed pan/tilt capabilities that capture fast-moving objects; and 22x optical zoom that delivers crisp visuals in large venues.

Ultra-High Speed Performance

The UE200 series' global shutter technology and pan-tilt mechanism enables high-precision shooting for both low-speed and ultra-high-speed video. With a pan acceleration of 1800°/sec[2], it can instantly track and capture fast-moving subjects. Scheduled for release in Q1 CY2027, it is ideal for production environments, from sports and live events to studio broadcasts.

Seamless Social Media Streaming

Scheduled for release in Q2 CY2027, the UER200 series' cutting-edge roll mechanism is perfect for direct streaming onto social media platforms. It features a roll axis range of -200° to +200° and supports vertical (9:16) and horizontal (16:9) video output using full sensor. This eliminates the constraints of fixed camera placements.

Continuous Industry Innovation

The UE200/UER200 series eliminates distortion when capturing fast-moving objects, without compromising their true shape. They offer compatibility with LED walls and minimise flicker from stage lighting in studio environments and live events. Both support built-in automatic tracking and framing directly on the camera.[3]

The series supports variable zoom speeds – from approximately 0.5 seconds from tele to wide, up to a maximum of 120 seconds – allowing flexible zoom control tailored to the composition. Both cameras also support high-definition recording of up to 180 fps – perfect for capturing slow-motion replays in sporting events.[4] The UE210 and UER210 variants support SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante^®[5] protocols as standard for seamless IP-based video and audio workflows.

Easy Installation

Combined with an 80° wide-angle lens, the UE200/UER200 PTZs enables broad coverage in areas with limited installation space. The AW-UER200 features one-touch horizontal levelling that enables quick setup in difficult-to-reach areas and angled ceilings. The UE200/UER200 also features unified protocol support for simplifying control of multiple Panasonic camera types within a single installation.[6]

"The UE200 and UER200 series demonstrates Panasonic's continuous innovation as a leader in the PTZ market. They meet the increasing demand for greater usability, stunning 4K visuals, and seamless integration into existing production environments and workflows. The global shutter MOS sensor delivers precise reproduction and captures split-second movements, opening up new possibilities for operators to create immersive and dynamic visuals," comments André Meterian, Director of Professional Video Systems for Panasonic Europe.
