AW-UN70

What the AW-UN70 is built for

The AW-UN70 is a pan-tilt-zoom camera for rooms that need 4K capture, remote framing and direct network connectivity. The AW-UN70 models carry built-in NDI HX1, so the camera can send video across a local network to conferencing, recording or streaming systems. It is offered in pearl white (AW-UN70W) and metallic black (AW-UN70K), so the unit can match the room interior.

The camera works as a standalone desktop unit or suspended from a ceiling. That makes it practical for lecture theatres, boardrooms and multipurpose halls where the camera must stay out of the audience line of sight.

Image quality and lens figures

A 1/2.3-type MOS sensor feeds an optical 20x zoom lens with a focal length of 4.08 mm to 81.6 mm, equivalent to 29.5 mm to 612.0 mm on a 35 mm basis. The wide end focuses as close as 10 cm, and 4K horizontal resolution is rated at 1300 TV lines in the centre area. Minimum illumination is 0.7 lx without accumulation and 0.35 lx with frame accumulation, which matters in a dimmed lecture hall where a speaker at the back still needs to be sharp. Pan range is ±175 degrees and tilt runs from -30 to 90 degrees, with preset movement up to 300 degrees per second and manual movement up to 90 degrees per second.

Outputs, power and control

• HDMI: video output; HDCP is not supported.
• USB: Mini-B port for video and audio. 4K over USB is listed at 5 fps in Motion JPEG, while 1080p reaches 30 fps on 59.94 Hz systems.
• LAN: RJ-45 port for IP control, compatible with PoE+ hubs.
• SDI: one 3G/HD-SDI BNC output, plus a BBS and tri-level sync input.
• Audio: stereo mini-jack for mic or line input.
• Storage: microSD slot recording MP4 files in H.264 High Profile, up to 3840 x 2160.

Power comes from the supplied DC 12 V adaptor, drawing 1.3 A, or from PoE+ at 42 V to 57 V DC, drawing 0.5 A. PoE+ reduces the cabling at the camera position, which helps when the nearest power outlet is far from a ceiling mount.

Where it fits across Qatar

In a university lecture hall in Education City, the camera can capture a lecturer, move between saved presets covering the lectern, whiteboard and seating, and feed a hybrid session to students joining from abroad. Mounted in an air-conditioned room, it reduces the need for a dedicated camera operator.

In a boardroom at a government office in West Bay, where meetings switch between Arabic and English and the working week runs Sunday to Thursday, PTZ control lets a chair frame speakers from the table. The spec sheet lists supported controllers, and the accessory range includes remote camera controllers.

In a hotel ballroom or event hall in Lusail, the camera can record speeches and presentations for later review, with the 20x zoom framing speakers at the far end of the room.

Planning the installation

Check the environment before fixing a unit. The ambient operating range is 0 °C to 40 °C with 20% to 90% humidity and no condensation, so the camera belongs in an air-conditioned indoor room, away from direct sunlight and dust from open windows or lobby doors. Outdoor exposure in summer temperatures above 45 °C falls outside this range.

• Dimensions are 160 mm x 186 mm x 179 mm, excluding protrusions and the direct ceiling mount bracket. Mass is approximately 1.5 kg.
• The direct ceiling mount bracket WV-Q105AUX is listed as an accessory.
• LAN cable runs reach 100 m through a PoE+ hub, and 1000 m on the AW protocol connection.
