How to Use the Panasonic AW-UB50E 4K Multipurpose Box Camera:

Record cinematic 4K video with real-time AF

The Panasonic AW-UB50E delivers high-quality 4K video using a 24.2MP full-frame MOS sensor, capturing rich detail and vivid colours. Designed to produce cinematic visuals, this sensor provides a shallow depth of field, allowing for natural background separation and a professional look.

Precision autofocus technology enables the AW-UB50E to automatically detect and track subjects in real-time. Whether capturing fast-moving action or a presenter in a live broadcast, this feature ensures sharp, well-focused imagery without manual adjustments. This is particularly useful in dynamic shooting environments that require reliable subject tracking.

Capture true-to-life footage with 14+ stops dynamic range

Equipped with V-Log and 14+ stops of dynamic range, the AW-UB50E maintains deep contrast and precise colour grading even in challenging lighting conditions. This broadcast-quality imaging technology is perfect for demanding productions, preserving highlights and shadows for a realistic, true-to-life final image. Matching footage across multiple cameras is seamless, particularly when paired with Panasonic's AW-UE160 4K integrated camera.

Shoot anywhere with a compact build

With a compact chassis measuring under 10cm in height, width, and depth (excluding lens), Panasonic’s AW-UB50E can fit into tight spaces without sacrificing performance. Whether mounted on a rig, discreetly positioned in a studio, or used in handheld shooting with a Gimbal, this camera adapts to demanding shooting environments.

The L-mount lens system provides a wide range of compatible lens choices. This feature allows users to select lenses that best suit their production needs, from wide-angle shots for immersive perspectives to telephoto lenses for distant subjects.

Broadcast and live stream with multi-camera setups

Designed for modern broadcasting and live streaming, the AW-UB50E supports IP-based transmission standards such as NDI® HX2, RTMPS, and SRT. These formats enable low-latency, high-quality video transmission over networked environments, making the AW-UB50E ideal for live events and remote-controlled setups. The AW-UB50E integrates with Panasonic PTZ cameras and the Media Production Suit for multi-camera productions. When connected to the same network, operators can manage multiple cameras simultaneously, making it an intelligent choice for broadcast studios, conferences, and live performances where consistency is key.
