This integrated pan/tilt/zoom camera uses 1/3 type 2.2-megapixel U.L.T. 3MOS imagers and a fast 20X zoom lens to produce full-HD video in a wide range of shooting conditions.

Ideally suited for such demanding applications as sports, staging, houses of worship, news, and government video, the camera is equipped with the same high-performance sensors and digital signal processing used in Panasonic broadcast camcorders such as the AG-HPX370. With 1,000 TV lines of resolution and a 60dB signal-to-noise ratio, it sets a new performance standard for integrated PTZ cameras, with advanced features as 16-axis color correction and Panasonic’s exclusive DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch). HD-SD/SDI, HDMI, Analog Component, and SD Composite outputs are all built-in, giving the unit out-of-the-box ease of deployment.

The camera’s 20X optical zoom lens covers an extended range of shooting situations, from small room wide-angle to back-of-the-house ultra-telephoto, with 35mm equivalents of 32.1 mm at wide-angle to 642.5 mm at telephoto. Remote control of neutral-density filters, DRS, shutter, and other functions enable optimal exposure for a wide range of shooting conditions. The camera’s fast, quiet integrated pans ±175° and tilts from -30° to 210°.

The HE120 supports RS-422 serial control and IP control with dedicated RJ-45 connectors. It is compatible with current Panasonic controllers such as the AW-RP655 and AW-HS50, along with many serial and IP control systems from Crestron, AMX and other vendors.

The HE120 supports both direct and Web-based IP remote control, so the camera can be securely operated and adjusted remotely from an ordinary browser-equipped PC anywhere in the world.
