Overview
The Panasonic AW-UE50 is a 4K PTZ conference camera with 24x optical zoom and a 1/2.5-type 4K sensor. It outputs 3G-SDI, HDMI and IP at the same time, runs on PoE+ over a single cable and streams to SRT, RTMP and, with an optional upgrade, NDI HX2. It suits lecture halls, boardrooms and training rooms in Doha where hybrid sessions matter. Request a quote.
What the AW-UE50 is built to do
The Panasonic AW-UE50 is a remote pan-tilt-zoom camera for rooms where a presenter must be framed clearly while the session runs without a camera operator. It captures 4K UHD at 25p and 30p, combines a 24x optical zoom with a 74.1° wide setting, and uses a Direct Drive mechanism that Panasonic rates at NC25 or lower, so movement stays quiet during a lecture or meeting.
Figures worth checking before you order
- Sensor: 1/2.5-type 4K MOS with approximately 8,490,000 effective pixels
- Zoom: 24x optical, extended by intelligent zoom to 28x in UHD and 36x in Full HD
- Resolution: 1,500 TV lines in UHD and 1,000 in HD, measured in the centre area
- Movement: pan ±175°, tilt from -30° to 90°, at 60°/s, 90°/s or 180°/s
- Low light: 3 lx minimum illumination at F1.8
Optical Image Stabilisation can be switched on or off from the menu. It helps keep pan and tilt smooth in busy environments and when the camera is placed on a robotic system.
Connecting to existing rooms and live streams
The camera outputs 3G-SDI, HDMI 1.4 and IP at the same time, which suits rooms that run HD equipment alongside 4K workflows. The HDMI output is 4:2:2 10-bit but does not support HDCP, so confirm your display or recorder before connecting. IP streaming supports JPEG, H.264 and H.265, and SRT adds encrypted transport that resends lost packets over unstable networks. RTMP and RTMPS send the feed directly to live broadcasting services. NDI HX2 is available as a paid optional upgrade.
Where it fits across Qatar
A private school in Al Wakrah preparing a hall for assemblies and streamed lessons can mount one unit at the back of the room and control it over the school network. A training centre in Lusail can broadcast induction sessions to staff who cannot attend in person, using RTMP or SRT. A government office in Msheireb with regular meetings involving teams abroad can frame the speaker in a boardroom and use Privacy Mode to turn the lens away when the camera is idle.
Planning the environment and power
The rated ambient operating range is 0°C to 40°C, with 20 to 90 percent humidity and no condensation. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C, so install the camera indoors in an air-conditioned room, away from direct sunlight and window glass. It runs from its supplied 12 V DC adapter drawing 1.8 A, or from PoE+ (IEEE802.3at) at DC 42 to 57 V drawing 0.6 A. Check that your switch port supplies PoE+ before installation.
Space, mounting and cabling
The body measures 160.0 mm wide, 192.1 mm high and 166.0 mm deep, excluding protrusions. It weighs about 1.8 kg, or 2.05 kg with the ceiling mounting bracket. IP connections support up to 100 m of Category 5e or higher straight cable, while the AW protocol LAN link extends to 1,000 m. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar helps confirm the ceiling point and cable route before any drilling.
To plan your order, tell the SmartRooms Qatar team the room size, the number of cameras, the finish you prefer (white AW-UE50W or black AW-UE50K) and the controller you intend to use, then request a quote.

Questions about AW-UE50
Who is the AW-UE50 for?
It suits organisations that want a remote camera to frame a presenter without a dedicated operator, such as a school in Al Rayyan running a hybrid class or a training centre in Lusail recording sessions for absent staff. It captures 4K UHD at 25p and 30p, and an operator can steer it from a browser, a hardware controller or conferencing software.
What is the difference between the AW-UE50 and the AW-UE40 or AW-UE30?
The AW-UE50 and AW-UE40 share the same 24x lens and sensor specifications. The source data lists the 3G-SDI output for the AW-UE50 only, and the AW-UE30 uses a 20x lens. If your system needs an SDI output, the AW-UE50 is the model in this family that provides it.
Does the camera support 4K output?
Yes. The HDMI output carries 4K at 2160/29.97p and 25p, along with 24p and 23.98p. The 3G-SDI output is listed for HD formats up to 1080p at 59.94 and 50 frames per second, so plan 4K connections over HDMI and confirm that the display or recorder accepts HDMI 1.4 4:2:2 10-bit signals.
Can the camera run from a single network cable?
Yes. It supports PoE+ under IEEE802.3at at DC 42 to 57 V, so one cable carries power, control and video. It draws about 0.6 A on PoE+, compared with 1.8 A on the supplied 12 V DC adapter. Ask your network supplier to confirm that the switch port provides PoE+ before installation.
How far can the camera sit from the control computer?
Over IP, the source data specifies up to 100 m of Category 5e or higher straight cable. Over the AW protocol LAN connection, the limit is 1,000 m. In a large lecture hall at Education City, measure the run from the network switch to the ceiling point before ordering cable, so the camera sits within the IP limit.
Does it work as a webcam with video conferencing software?
Yes. With the PTZ Virtual USB driver over a LAN connection, the camera supplies video and audio in the same way a USB camera would. Its USB2.0 Type-C device port is compatible with UVC 1.0 and UAC 1.0 only, and it has no bus-powered function, so the camera needs its own power source.
Can it stream directly to YouTube Live or Facebook Live?
Yes. RTMP and RTMPS send the feed from the camera straight to live broadcasting services such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live. SRT is supported out of the box for secure transport over unstable networks, while NDI HX2 requires a paid upgrade. A training centre in Lusail can choose whichever route suits its network.
Can it be used near windows or outdoors during Qatar summers?
Do not install it outdoors. The ambient operating range is 0°C to 40°C, with 20 to 90 percent humidity and no condensation, and storage is rated from -20°C to 50°C. Qatar summer temperatures can exceed 45°C, so choose an air-conditioned room away from direct sun, and confirm any other environment with the SmartRooms Qatar team.
What space and mounting does it need?
The body measures 160.0 mm wide, 192.1 mm high and 166.0 mm deep, excluding protrusions. It weighs about 1.8 kg, or 2.05 kg with the ceiling mounting bracket, and it can stand on a desk or be suspended. SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey, which is useful for checking the ceiling point in a meeting room in Msheireb before any drilling.
Is it available in white and black?
Yes. The AW-UE50W is white and the AW-UE50K is black. White suits lecture halls and boardrooms with light ceilings, while black blends better into darker rooms. State the finish, the room details and the controller you plan to use when you request a quote, so the correct model is supplied.
What happens to the lens when the camera is on standby?
Privacy Mode turns the lens to face backward while the camera is on standby. It is set to OFF by default and can be enabled in the settings. This suits a government office or boardroom where the camera should not face the room when it is not in use. Enable it from the camera settings before first use.
How is the camera controlled, and does it show a status light?
You can control it over IP through its LAN port, through RS-422 using the RJ-45 control input, or from a web browser on Windows 10, Mac, iOS or Android. Panasonic publishes a compatibility chart for hardware controllers, so check your controller against it before ordering. The camera also has a red and green tally LED.
