Panasonic Connect announced two new 4K multipurpose cameras, the AW-UB50 and the AW-UB10. Both box-style cameras are based on LUMIX digital interchangeable lens camera technology and equipped with new functions designed to streamline video production workflows. They are ideal for the corporate and education video production markets, as well as broadcasting and live entertainment. They will be available in the first quarter of 2025.

The UB50 features a full-frame MOS sensor and the UB10 features a MFT (Micro Four Thirds) sensor, and both support all common IP protocols, such as the Panasonic AW control protocol and RTP, RTSP, RTMPS, SRT1 and NDI HX2 1transmission protocols.

The UB50 has been optimized for cinematic video production, featuring a shallower depth of field than the UB10. Both the UB50 and UB10 use real-time recognition autofocus technology, allowing the cameras to automatically identify and keep subjects in focus.

Both cameras also feature Dual Native ISO, with the UB50 supporting V-Log, and the UB10 supporting V-LogL capabilities, in order to provide video production teams with the required flexibility to model and build a camera ecosystem that’s optimized to the requirements of individual productions.

The UB50 and UB10 cameras simplify operations in professional broadcasting systems and are ideal for filming, recording and distributing video production at large-scale, live events. The box-style 4K multipurpose cameras can support rich, versatile image capture and are incredibly easy to operate in the field, enabling more creative video production.

Both models feature a compact chassis, with a sub-10cm height, width and depth, enabling installation in the tightest of spaces. They can also be used for handheld shooting with a Gimbal, providing greater flexibility for operators.

Both the UB50 and UB10 cameras offer 3G-SDI OUT, HDMI Type A, LAN terminal, TC IN/OUT, GENLOCK IN, and USB Type-C input/output interfaces. The LAN terminal is Power over Ethernet (PoE+) compatible, with video transmission, control, and power delivered via a single cable – further reducing complexity and clutter.
