4K UX Series Professional Camcorder

The AG-UX180 is the premium model in the 4K UX Professional Camcorder Series, featuring a 1” (effective size) high-sensitivity MOS sensor and the industry’s widest angle zoom lens (20x to 24mm at the widest angle). With its extensive focus assist features, multiple recording formats in 4K and HD, as well as precise image adjustment functions, the highly affordable UX180 is the pro camcorder you’ve been waiting for to upgrade to 4K acquisition.

Newly Developed, Industry's Widest Angle24mm*and 20x Optical Zoom Lens

• The 4-Drive Lens System achieved an up to wide 24mm angle and 20x optical zoom in the handheld camcorder with a 1.0-type (effective size) sensor.
• The Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.) with a correction range expansion of approximately 900%*6enables stable handheld shooting.
• The Micro Drive Focus Unit offers a high-speed autofocus function with excellent tracking performance and improved stability in 4K recording.

1.0-Type (Effective Size) MOS Sensor for High-Precision, High-Speed 4K 60p/50p*Recording

• The 1.0-type (effective size) MOS (approx. 9,460,000 pixels in 4K 24p*8, and approx. 8,790,000 pixels in UHD/FHD) offers an outstanding depth of field and excellent balance between image quality and sensitivity.
• 4K 24p, UHD 60p/50p, FHD 60p/50p multi-format and HD 120 fps (59.94 Hz) /100 fps (50 Hz) super slow-motion recording are available.

High Performance 4K LEICA Dicomar Lens

The AG-UX180 is one of the world’s first 1” sensor cameras (with an integrated lens) to feature 20x optical zoom. Combined with the industry's widest lens (24 mm), it ensures you get the shot you need, near or far, with the ability to take your frame from 24 mm (wide) to 480 mm (telescopic) in no more than 2 seconds. The i.Zoom function (HD mode only) increases the zooming capability to a maximum of approximately 30x zoom, while still maintaining high resolution. If needed, Digital Zoom (2x, 5x, or 10x) gives you super-telephoto magnification equivalent to a 300x zoom without a significant drop in light intensity.

4K Optical Image Stabilization

Using a handheld camera, encountering shooting conditions, such as low-angle, high-angle, or zoomed-in shots, which result in a visible handshake is inevitable. The UX180 is equipped with an advanced O.I.S. system that uses the measure of small balls inside the camera to correct the stability of your image. This, paired with a 5-Axis (Roll / Pitch / Yaw / X / Y) Hybrid Image Stabilizer helps detect and correct unwanted handshake.

Variety of Recording Formats

The variety of recording modes with selectable image quality, frame rate, and bit rate settings are ideal for a wide range of applications, from cinema production to online distribution. Images can be recorded with a resolution of 4K (4096 x 2160)/24p, UHD (3840 x 2160)/60p or FHD (1980 x 1080)/60p. Versatile and easy-to-use MOV (QuickTime), MP4 and AVCHD file formats are supported.

• IR (Infrared) Shooting in Dark Places

• Variable Frame Rates

• Slow Motion

Dual SD Memory Card Slots

The AG-UX180 comes equipped with two SD cards slots, enabling options such as unlimited relay recording, simultaneous recording, background recording, and UHD/FHD Dual Codec recording. Dual codec recording allows for simultaneous capture of UHD 30p and FHD, or FHD and FHD low bit rates, which essentially produces master and offline/proxy versions of footage. An efficient workflow can be achieved by using the Sub Rec File for tasks such as previews, offline editing, and Internet data transfers.

Precise Image Adjustments

The UX180 comes fully equipped to help provide you with the best possible colored image, featuring broadcast-grade camera image adjustments, such as 16-axis color correction. Easily match the look of any other camera you may be shooting with, and create your own scene files.

• Skin Detail

• Master-Detail

• 8-Mode Gamma

Versatile Professional Interfaces

Equipped with the features you would expect from a camera far more expensive than this one, the UX180 comes with a 3G-SDI output for connecting to an external 1080/60p recorder, a TC preset in/out terminal for time synch/synchronized multi-camera recording, two channels of XLR audio input for professional high-quality audio recording and HDMI output for on-shoot 4K video monitoring.

ROP iPad App: Wireless Camera Operation

The AG ROP app for iPad is available free of charge from the App Store. It enables wireless remote control of the AG-UX180, with the installation of a wireless module (optional AJ-WM50/AJ-WM30). In addition to a multitude of control functions, such as camera settings, picture quality adjustment, REC start/stop, and menu setting, the AG ROP app allows control of the UX180's internal lens for remote operation of the i. Zoom, zoom, and focus. It also displays a thumbnail view and a preview view, so sub-recording clips can be displayed as thumbnails and previewed on an iPad.
