Characteristics
Multiple number of formats supported
p A multiple number of output formats including 1080i/720p
with 59.94 Hz/50 Hz are supported. The 29.97 Hz/25 Hz
outputs are also supported in the 1080i output format.
p By using VIDEO OUT signals, HD format signals and SD
format signals can be output at the same time.
(The VIDEO OUT signals are not output when the IP video
transfer function is used.)
p With the SD format, either Squeeze (16:9), LetterBox
(16:9) or SideCut (4:3) can be selected.
1/3-type MOS sensor and high-performance 18 zoom
lens featured
p A newly developed 1/3-type full HD MOS sensor and DSP
(digital signal processor) are incorporated.
High-quality pictures are obtained by video processing in
many different kinds of ways.
p In addition to its optical 18 zoom lens, the unit comes
with a 10 digital zoom to achieve high-quality images
that overflow with ambiance.
p A dynamic range stretch (DRS) function that compensates
for overexposure and loss of dark detail and a new
hybrid digital noise reduction (Hybrid DNR) function for
minimizing image lag even in dark locations and shooting
scenes clearly are incorporated to reproduce clean and
clear images in a wide range of applications.
Easy operation of unit enabled by its integration with a
high-performance pan-tilt head unit
p Operations at the high speed of 90°/s
p Wide rotational angles with a panning range of ±175° and
a tilting range from –30° to +90°
p Quiet operation with noise levels of NC35 (normal speed)
and NC40 (when preset)
p Storage of up to 100 positions in the preset memory
(The number of preset memories that can be used varies
from one controller to another.)
Night mode incorporated
p Infrared shooting is supported.
The kind of shooting which is normally difficult under very-
low-brightness conditions is now possible by exposing the
subjects to infrared rays.
(Black-and-white images are output in this case.)
IP video output function featured
p The unit is equipped with an image compression/IP
transfer LSI chip that enables IP videos to be transferred
to a multiple number of destinations in the SD format.
p Employing the functions of this chip together with
IP control opens the door to uses in a wide range of
applications including the control of the camera from a
remote location. (It is not possible to use the VIDEO OUT
signal output and IP video output at the same time.)
High degree of compatibility with Panasonic’s currently
available controllers, enabling a flexible system to be put
together
p A maximum of five units can be operated by serial control
from one of Panasonic’s currently available controllers
(AW-RP655, AW-RP555 and AW-RP50).
The unit can also be used together with the cameras
and pan-tilt head unit systems currently available from
Panasonic Corporation so that an existing system can be
used to advantage to put together a system that is even
more flexible.
p It may be necessary to upgrade the version of the
controller in order to support the unit.
The maximum distances between the units and
controller is 1000 meters (3280 ft). (when serial
control is exercised)
Use of an external device or some other means
must be provided separately in order to extend the
video signal connections.
Note
Integrated pan-tilt head unit, camera and lens to facilitate
installation
p By designing the camera, lens and pan-tilt head as a
single integrated unit, the time taken for the installation
work has been drastically reduced.
Use of easy-to-operate wireless remote control (optional
accessory) is possible
p A wireless remote control capable of operating up to four
units can be used.
It can easily be used to set the various functions or switch
between them while viewing the menu screens.
Flexible camera layout enabled by simple connection
and installation
p This unit features excellent connectivity and installability
thanks to the IP control; a lightweight main unit, and the
turn-lock mechanism, which enables the user to install it
on his or her own (only when used indoors).
p Bear in mind that this unit is designed to be used
indoors only: It cannot be used outdoors.
Note
Energy-savings achieved by the compact main unit
design
p By slimming down the unit’s weight and dimensions,
a low power consumption is yielded, and even the
connection of a multiple number of units poses no
concerns.
Easy connections and settings courtesy of IP control
p Up to a hundred units can be operated by IP connection
from a Panasonic controller (AW-RP50).
(The maximum length of the LAN cables is 100 meters
[328 ft].)
p By automatically recognizing the IP addresses and
changing their allocation, the previous restrictions on
the connections between the cameras and controllers
using serial interfaces and the time and trouble taken to
establish the various settings can be significantly reduced,
and by configuring a network, flexible camera control can
be implemented anywhere with any of the cameras.
