Full HD camera with integrated pan-tilt for lectures,
weddings 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.
The AW-HE40 series also offers the flexibility of not requiring any specific installation location

LAN cable.
, which allows power to be supplied via a
Newly Developed 1/2.3-type MOS Sensor
Equipped with a newly 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*
extender, which enables the AW-HE40 series to shoot in large
conference halls and classrooms.
Wide si de (31.6 mm) Telephoto s ide (962 mm) Super Resolution (iA Zoom)
Night Mode
Switching to Night Mode makes
shooting possible even in low light
conditions in which shooting is
normally dif cult, such as when
observing wildlife. *
The AW-HE40 series can also be set
to switch to the mode automatically
depending on surrounding light levels.

Equipped with High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode
In addition to conventional Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) and Digital
Noise Reduction (DNR), the AW-HE40 is 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.

Supports 1080/59.94p (HDMI model only), 29.97p*4, 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.

Audio input function
The AW-HE40 series also supports audio input, embedding and
encoding. The input from the camera’s switchable mic/line input can be
combined with the HD-SDI, HDMI, and streaming outputs for mixing,
recording or transmission.
Exceptional pan-tilt performance

for smooth shooting over a wide area
The pan range of ±175 ° and the tilt range of -30 ° to +90 ° cover a wide
shooting area*5. Pan and tilt operate at a maximum speed of 90° /second
and respond quickly to remote control operation. They operate quietly at
a sound level of NC35 or lower.

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.
