Panasonic AW-UE200 global-shutter PTZ camera: pre-order from EAR, an authorized Panasonic reseller since 1989
EAR Professional Audio Video, in Tempe, Arizona, an authorized Panasonic reseller since 1989, is taking pre-orders for the Panasonic AW-UE200 and AW-UE210 4K PTZ cameras. The AW-UE200 base model (EAR part number PAN-AWUE200) is $11,500 on pre-order, first come, first served and refundable before shipment; Panasonic lists both models as available from February 2027. They pair a 1.2-type 5K global-shutter sensor with a 22x optical zoom and pan and tilt up to 400° per second, and the AW-UE210 adds SMPTE ST 2110 and Dante. EAR designs, installs and supports them for studios, LED wall sets, sports and live events in Arizona and nationwide.
Why a global shutter matters
Most PTZ cameras read the sensor line by line (a rolling shutter), which can bend vertical lines during fast pans and show banding on LED screens. A global shutter captures the whole frame at once. Panasonic calls the AW-UE200 “the industry’s first 1.2-type 5K MOS sensor with a global shutter in a PTZ camera” (among video-production PTZ cameras with a MOS sensor of 1 inch or larger, as of September 2026, according to Panasonic research), delivering “natural, low-distortion, low-flicker images for studio productions using LED walls, live events with dynamic lighting effects, and sports broadcasting” (Panasonic brochure).
That makes it a fit for LED wall studios and virtual sets, sports venues, arenas and gyms with LED video boards and esports and student broadcast.
