The Panasonic UE150 is a professional PTZ broadcast camera engineered for live production, OB vans, and remote studio operations. It delivers 4K UHD and HD output via 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP and optical fiber, with 20x optical zoom and UHD intelligent zoom to 24x for flexible framing. Compact at 4.2 kg and powered by 12V DC or PoE++, it integrates seamlessly into modern broadcast workflows. This unit includes NDI-HX V2 licensing. Available new, ex-demo and used—contact us for current stock and pricing.

FAQ

Can the UE150 output 4K and 1080p simultaneously, or must I choose one format per session?+

The UE150 supports simultaneous multi-format output across its 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, IP, and optical fiber ports. You can configure different outputs for different frame rates and resolutions—for example, 4K 59.94p on 12G-SDI while delivering 1080p on HDMI or IP simultaneously. Confirm your control protocol and CCU/RCP configuration support this multi-output mode; firmware revision may affect implementation details.

What camera control protocol does the UE150 use, and is it compatible with standard broadcast RCPs and CCUs?+

The UE150 uses VISCA over IP and serial protocols for pan-tilt-zoom and camera control functions. It integrates with Panasonic AW-RP series RCPs and compatible third-party controllers supporting VISCA. Verify your existing CCU or RCP firmware version supports the UE150 model code; older control surfaces may require firmware updates or a separate control adapter for full feature compatibility.

Does PoE++ power delivery fully support 4K output, or are there operational limitations at maximum bitrate?+

IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ (up to 90W) powers the UE150 and supports full 4K 59.94p operation. However, for demanding multi-output or extended continuous operation, 12V DC supply from a regulated broadcast power distribution system is recommended to ensure headroom and system stability. In OB vans, dual power paths (PoE++ with 12V DC backup) provide redundancy for critical productions.

How does the UE150 handle 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI output simultaneously—do I lose functionality on one port?+

The UE150 can output 4K over 12G-SDI and simultaneously deliver HD or 1080p over 3G-SDI ports. Both SDI outputs remain active; the 12G port carries primary 4K video while 3G can carry secondary or archive-quality streams. Check firmware version to confirm simultaneous dual-SDI activation and verify your router or switcher supports mixed SDI generations in the same camera feed.

What is the power consumption during 4K live streaming, and how does it impact OB van power budgeting?+

The UE150 draws approximately 45–65W during 4K output operation (dependent on zoom position and auxiliary functions). In a multi-camera OB van setup, budget 50W per unit for AC power supply design; include margin for switching transients and redundant PSU failover. Confirm your vehicle's 24V or 12V distribution can sustain peak simultaneous camera loads during multi-angle capture.

Does the compact size (4.2 kg) affect thermal performance or cooling requirements during extended 4K production?+

The UE150's lightweight design is thermally efficient for broadcast use; it operates passively without active cooling, maintaining stable performance in controlled studio and OB van environments (0–40°C operating range). In outdoor or high-ambient applications, ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged direct sunlight. Extended 4K output does not create thermal stress provided ambient temperature remains within specification and cable management does not obstruct airflow.

What lens accessories or extension modules are available, and can I upgrade or swap the optical block?+

The UE150 ships with a sealed optical unit; the 20x zoom lens and 1.0-type sensor are non-user-replaceable. No field-swappable lens or extender modules are available for this model. Panasonic offers external shoulder mounts and tripod adapters for mechanical integration; contact factory service for authorized repair or optics maintenance if performance degrades.

How does NDI-HX V2 licensing impact IP-based workflows, and do I need separate licenses for multiple outputs?+

The UE150 includes NDI-HX V2 licensing, enabling low-latency IP video over standard Ethernet for remote production and virtualized workflows. One license covers the camera unit; concurrent NDI streams from different ports share this single license. Verify your NDI infrastructure (network bandwidth, receiver licenses) supports the desired simultaneous streams; NDI management console confirms active sessions and bandwidth utilization in real-time.

Can the UE150 be integrated into an ST 2110 standards-compliant IP broadcast chain, or is it limited to proprietary NDI?+

The UE150 supports both NDI-HX V2 and IP output for flexible integration. ST 2110 compliance depends on network architecture and gateway conversion; the camera itself outputs IP video compatible with standard network infrastructure but does not natively implement SMPTE 2110 essence flows. For standards-based ST 2110 production, use an approved IP adapter or confirm firmware revision supports SMPTE profiles; consult your systems integrator for network topology validation.

Are your used / ex-demo units tested and warranted?+

Yes. Our used and ex-demo units undergo a full functional inspection — sensors, video outputs, control signals, optics and mechanics — including a colorimetry and sensitivity test. Each product is tested by our technicians and comes with a 90-day warranty. Contact us for the specific warranty terms of the unit you are interested in.
