Panasonic AW-HE38K 22x Zoom PTZ Camera with HDMI Output (Black)

The Panasonic AW-HE38HKPJ is a PTZ camera that brings broadcast level video to meeting rooms, lecture halls, houses of worship, and live event venues. Its 1/2.3-inch MOS sensor teams with a lens that delivers 22x optical zoom, letting you move from a wide view of the stage to a tight shot of the presenter without losing detail.

Image quality stays consistent in challenging light. High Dynamic Range balances bright projectors and shadowed corners, while Digital Noise Reduction keeps low-light grain under control. When the lights drop almost to black, Night Mode switches the camera to monochrome so you can still capture usable footage.

The camera outputs up to 1080p video through HDMI for local monitoring and through IP for streaming or recording on the network. Power over Ethernet Plus lets a single cable handle power, control, and video, which simplifies ceiling or wall installs. If your workflow moves to NDI, an optional license unlocks NDI/HX so the same Ethernet line can feed video directly into compatible production systems.

For live production, the camera can store as many as 100 preset positions, and the Freeze During Preset function hides camera motion by holding the previous frame until the new angle is ready. Whether you are switching angles during a corporate webcast or tracking multiple professors in a hybrid classroom, transitions look smooth and professional.

From boardrooms that need discreet automation to churches that want consistent streaming without a full crew, the AW-HE38HKPJ offers the flexibility and reliability that modern video teams expect.
