Full HD camera with integrated pan-tilt for lectures,
meetings and a wide variety of applications.
The AW-HE40 series of integrated full HD cameras performs in a wide variety of onsite shooting
applications that require high-quality video, such as conferences, lecture capture and other events,
thanks to its high-performance zoom, wide angle of view and outstanding color reproducibility.

In addition to IP video transmission, support for PoE+*
The result is installation exibility. It also supports HD-IP video output, output of video and audio via
USB, and SD card recording.
enables power to be supplied via a LAN cable*2.
Developed 1/2.3-type MOS Sensor
Equipped with a developed 1/2.3-type MOS sensor and DSP (Digital
Signal Processor) for high sensitivity and high resolution.
High Performance Optical 30x Zoom Lens/
Super Resolution 40x Zoom
In addition to a 30x optical zoom, the AW-HE40 series can zoom up to
40x while maintaining high resolution thanks to Super Resolution
technology. It also features a 16x digital zoom*3 and a 1.4x digital
extender, which enables the AW-HE40 series to shoot in large
conference halls and classrooms.
Wide side (31.6 mm)
Night Mode
Switching to Night Mode makes
shooting possible even in low light
conditions in which shooting is
normally difcult, such as when
observing wildlife*
The AW-HE40 series can also be set
to switch to the mode automatically
depending on surrounding light
levels.

Either SDI Model or HDMI Model Can Be Selected
To Match Usage Needs
Supports 1080/59.94p (HDMI model only), 29.97p*5, 59.94i, 29,97PsF,
1080/50p (HDMI model only), 25p*
formats. Flexible operation in line with the application is made possible by
a lineup that includes an SDI output model (AW-HE40SW/SK), optimal for
video content production, and an HDMI output model (AW-HE40HW/HK),
optimal for video streaming, both of which come in two body colors (white
and black) that can be selected depending on the usage environment.

Equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Mode
In addition to conventional Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and Digital
Noise Reduction (DNR), the AW-HE40 series are newly equipped with
High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. When shooting and synthesizing two
images with differing exposure times, the AW-HE40 series can create
video with high visibility that corrects for halation and black defects
even under backlit conditions.

Video/Audio Output with USB
USB Video Class and USB Audio Class are supported. This enables video and
audio output via USB so the cameras can be used as high-image-qualit y
Web cameras for Web conferencing, distance learning, and other
applications utilizing communication software.
Audio Input Function
The AW-HE40 series also supports audio input, embedding and
encoding.
Audio output to IP is also supported. The ALC (Audio Automatic Level
Control) in the original AW-HE40 series can be switched ON/OFF and an
equalizer function can be used. By reducing low-frequency sound from
air conditioners, projectors, and other devices, it is possible to
emphasize and increase the clarity of the spoken words.

microSD Card Recording Function
MicroSD card recording is supported. Camera video and audio can be recorded in MP4 format on microSD card (sold
separately) inserted into the unit. In addition, using an IP network, it is possible to externally control recording start/stop and
download the recorded les.
Full HD Video Output Via IP Transmission
In addition to HD-SDI and HDMI output, production quality
full HD video output via IP transmission is supported. The
camera delivers up to four channels of IP streaming video
(H.264), with a maximum quality level of 1080/60p at 24
Mbps*1. Simultaneous transmission to as many as 14 devices
is also supported*2. Flexible system setup is possible to meet
various application needs.
Transmit IP Video Without a Separate Encoder
Reduces Cost and Simplies Installation
There is no need for the separate encoder normally required
when streaming video and audio via IP. Systems can be built
with exceptional cost/performance benets.

Supporting PoE+
for Lower Installation
Costs
By connecting network devices that support the IEEE802.3at
PoE+ standard, power can be supplied via LAN cable. Since it
is not necessary to install a power supply or even a local AC
outlet, installation costs can be signicantly reduced.
