Panasonic Connect Develops Rugged Outdoor-ready 4K PTZ Camera

　　The camera's rugged design makes it ideal for harsh outdoor environments, such as airports, warehouses and large ocean-going vessels, or for live broadcasting during blizzards, typhoons and other weather event. The AW-UR100 supports many protocols and interfaces for flexible system configuration to expand the possibilities of outdoor video production. It also offers extra functionality to help avoid missed shots and shooting errors for worry-free camerawork in the field, where risks are ever present.

　　Demands for live streaming and other video production have sharpy increased in recent years. The live entertainment industry, which was greatly curtailed by the Covid disaster, has seen a surge in hybrid online/offline events. Also, the proliferation of high-capacity, high-speed 5G and ubiquitous video have created demands for new video experiences, expressions and productions, but typically within limited budgets.

　　The applications and uses of PTZ cameras have also expanded, requiring rugged housings and added functionality for precision shooting and broadcasting in environments where camerawork can be especially challenging, such as outdoor locations exposed to extreme temperatures or other harsh climatic conditions. Changing workstyles are further accelerating the shift to IP-based remote video production, increasing the need to ensure both video quality and production efficiency in the field.

　　In response, Panasonic Connect has developed the new AW-UR100, which combines rugged reliability and high-precision shooting capabilities along with a host of other key features to overcome the challenges of working outdoors.

　　Key Features

　　High-precision Video Specifications and Functionality

　　When shooting from various angles while covering large-scale events in stadiums, at music festivals, etc., content creators must be ready to capture highlights as they occur, often at a moment's notice. The AW-UR100 offers both a 74.1° horizontal wide-angle lens for panoramic pull-backs and 4K/60P compatibility for 24x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom. It also features three types of image stabilization systems for shake-free video: optical image stabilization (OIS), electronic roll correction (EIS) and pan-tilt image stabilization (Dynamic Image Stabilizing System-DISS). Precision video production is assured regardless of the shooting environment, allowing highlights to be captured even from a bird's-eye view in large venues.

　　Rugged Design for Reliable Performance Virtually Anywhere

　　The AW-UR100 is built to withstand challenging outdoor environments, such as shooting in high-corrosion salt-air locations, including on large ships or in waterfront warehouses, or in other locations exposed to the elements, such as airports or outdoor events subjected to rain, wind, snow or intense sunlight. The body is hermetically sealed to keep out wind-blown dust and sand, and a defroster warms the lens to prevent the formation of frost, ice or condensation in extreme temperatures down to -15°C (-4°F). There is also a convenient wiper to keep the lens clear in wet conditions. In numerous tests simulating diverse outdoor conditions for waterproofing, dustproofing, salt spray and more, the AW-UR100 has proven its rugged ability to perform reliably in a wide range of demanding environments.

　　Flexible System Adaptability and Multiple Interfaces

　　The AW-UR100 meets a wide range of outdoor shooting needs with its many interfaces for major baseband transmission, such as 3G-SDI, 12G-SDI and fiber, as well as support for various IP protocols including NDI and SRT. FreeD is also supported, making it possible to build AR/VR systems. It adapts readily to existing video production systems as well as shooting conditions, and can be used to record, edit and broadcast in diverse environments for a variety of purposes, further expanding the range of video expression and storytelling outdoors.

　　Panasonic Connect, which has been proudly exceeding demands for technological development in the broadcast and camera industries for some six decades, is now committed to reinventing video production with an evolving lineup of advanced, market-leading PTZ cameras and other systems.

Panasonic Industry Commercializes Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) with The Industry's Lowest Profile*1 to Support High-Output Power Delivery Required for USB Type-C Connections

　　Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd., a Panasonic Group company, announced that it will begin commercial production of its two models of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP), 50TQT33M and 63TQT22M. These capacitors are incorporated into power circuits used for information and communication equipment, including laptops and tablets. They offer an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a body with the industry’s lowest profile of 3 mm, supporting high-output power delivery through USB Type-C connectors. Mass production for these models is planned to start in December 2025.　　These capacitors are ideal for voltage stabilization and noise reduction in power supplies compliant with USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)[1] 3.1. While previous USB-C connectors supplied up to 100 W (20 V/5 A), USB-PD 3.1 expands this to 240 W (48 V/5 A). This enables widespread use of USB-C connectors for high-speed data transfer and rapid charging, and is expected to further expand applications to larger equipment requiring high power output, such as displays.　　On the other hand, information and communication equipment such as laptops are increasingly required to be thinner and more compact. Capacitors therefore must combine an ultra-high withstand voltage, high capacitance, and a low profile in order to fit into limited space. Panasonic Industry began mass production of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) in 1997 and, as an industry leader, has continuously delivered first-of-their-kind products. Leveraging proprietary powder molding technology and film formation technologies, the company has newly developed two models that achieve both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm.　　Through these unique device technologies, Panasonic Industry will continue to contribute to enhancing the functionality of electronic equipment, including laptops, while also reducing the environmental impact through smaller, lighter devices and lower material usage.　　Key features:　　1. Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance*2 to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry*1—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies　　2. Lineup of USB-PD 3.1-compliant models rated at 50 V and 63 V　　3. Contributes to reduced material usage lower environmental impact through low-profile design　　*1 As of September 18, 2025, Conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors with rated voltages of 50 V and 63 V and capacitance of 22 μF or higher (Panasonic Industry data)　　*2 USB-Power Delivery 3.1 (180 W/240 W output) compliant high-capacitance conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors with rated voltages of 50 V and 63 V, and a capacitance of 22 μF or higherDetailed features:　　1. Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies　　To achieve capacitor performance required for USB-PD 3.1 power supplies in a low-profile body, both high capacitance and a high withstand voltage must be ensured, despite their trade-off relationship. High-capacitance tantalum powder is necessary for electrode materials, but its fine particle size makes molding difficult, creating challenges for stable production. Forming a uniform dielectric film on the surface of the electrodes is important for enhancing the withstand voltage. However, since electrodes made with high-capacitance tantalum powder contain extremely small internal pores, dielectric oxide films tend to develop imperfections.　　Panasonic Industry overcame these challenges by establishing proprietary technology to mold high-capacitance tantalum powder with uniform density, and by optimizing the film deposition process to create flawless dielectric films. This enabled the development of two new models that combine an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance, meeting the USB-C high-output power delivery requirements in a 3 mm low-profile package.Cross-sectional view of POSCAP and enlarged view of the inside of the electrode body　　2. Lineup of USB-PD 3.1-compliant models rated at 50 V and 63 V　　Until now, Panasonic Industry’s POSCAP lineup extended only up to 35 V, with no models compatible with USB-PD 3.1, which extends the rated voltage specification to 36 V (180 W) and 48 V (240 W). The two new models, rated at 50 V and 63 V, each achieve a high capacitance of 22 μF or higher in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm. The full lineup provides flexibility to meet diverse applications and equipment specifications.　　3. Contributes to reduced material usage lower environmental impact through low-profile design　　Compared to the industry standard size*3, the new models reduce volume by 25%, contributing to a lower environmental impact through reduced material usage.　　*3 Comparison with the industry standard size (7.3 mm × 4.3 mm × 4 mm) of conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors used in USB-PD 3.1 compliant power suppliesApplications:　　Voltage stabilization and noise reduction of USB-PD 3.1-compliant power supplies for laptops, displays, and peripheral equipment　　Arc discharge[2] countermeasures for USB-PD 3.1-compliant connectors　　Specifications:　　Life: 2,000 hours at 105°C; guaranteed operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C　　Ripple current[3]: 100 kHz, 105°C　　ESR[4]: 100 kHz, 20°C　　*4 Product dimensional tolerance:　　Length (L): ±0.3 mm; Width (W): ±0.2 mm; Height (H): ±0.2 mmTerm descriptions:　　[1] USB-PD　　The power delivery standards established by the standard-setting organization USB Implementers Forum, Inc.
