Panasonic AW-HE60H Pan-Tilt Camera

The AW-HE60H is a full HD integrated pan/tilt/zoom camera with HDMI output and IP image monitoring for remote preview and control, and a Night Mode for shooting in extremely low light. Offering a sleek light weight compact design and turn lock mounting, the HE60H combines outstanding image quality, smooth pan/tilt/zoom operation, and easy integration for superior HD and SD production and video communications. The HE60H utilize a 1/3" full HD MOS sensor 1920 x1080, along with advanced features such as Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) technology and Hybrid 2D/3D Noise Reduction processing. It produces smooth, sharp HD video with up to 850 lines of horizontal resolution in a wide range of lighting conditions and environments. A variety of output formats are available for the camera, up to and including 1080/60p (1080/59.94p.)

The HE60H camera provides remote IP control and live IP image monitoring that offer many advantages - such as reduced integration costs, easy remote production and engineering, and lower cost for multiple location systems, making it ideal for sports, education, house of worship, and government applications. IP monitoring is displayed in at up to 30fps in VGA (640 x 480) and QVGA (320 x 240). Multi-view monitoring, of up to 16 cameras on a single display, is available in M-JPEG only. Furthering the versatility of this function, remote IP monitoring is available on mobile devices such as iPhone, iPad, Android, as well as conventional displays.

The HE60H camera incorporates a highly-accurate pan-tilt head that offers precise, fast, fluid movement in all directions, enabling the capture of both slow and fast-moving objects without excessive vibration and bounce. With an 18X HD optical zoom plus 10X digital zoom, the HE60H covers use in rooms in many sizes. In addition, the Night Mode feature permits shooting in ultra low illumination with the use of an optional IR illuminator. This makes it ideal for use in reality show production, sleep labs, and other specialized applications. The camera’s switchable IR cut filter allows for switching between daytime view and high-resolution, black-and-white nighttime/IR video.

Footnote:
*1 When 1080/59.94p or 1080/50p mode is selected, a progressive signal is output through HDMI OUT, and an interlace signal is output through analog component OUT and SDI OUT.
When 480/59.94p or 576/50p mode is selected, a progressive signal is output through HDMI OUT (AW-HE60HN/HE only) and analog component OUT, and an interlace signal is output through SDI OUT (AW-HE60SN/SE only).
When IP images distributed, component signals (480/59.94i, 576/50i) are not output through mult-interlace.

*2 For safety purpose, the included mounting bracket must be used for installation.

*3 Depending on the pan or tilt position, the camera may shoot itself.
