Panasonic AK-UCX100 4K Studio Camera

Panasonic AK-UCX100 4K Studio Camera Equipped for On-site Production to the Future of video signal Production

The new AK-UCX100 4K studio camera is fully equipped to meet the demands for high-quality footage and innovative on-sight live production in the IP era, which include studio work, sports broadcasting and stage productions.
Panasonic’s new camera achieves strong high-definition for detailed reproduction with 2,000 TV lines (TVL), both horizontal and vertical. In addition, the rich gradation and colors of stage productions, etc. Are achieved with a wide dynamic range and wide color gamut thanks to High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology (incl. HLG format) based on the BT.2020 standard.

For professional deployment, the AK-UCX100 can be operated as a standalone camera head, without requiring a Camera Control Unit (CCU), and the unit provides support for a variety of IP standards, such as NDI^® High Bandwidth, ST2110 and SRT, as well as 12G-SDI (x2). SMPTE ST 2110 permits network redundancy and accommodates JPEG XS for low-latency transmission, supporting visually lossless footage quality and extra- stable IP operation.

Exceptional Resolution of Panasonic AK-UCX100: Guide

The camera’s new MOS sensor uses oversampling to achieve 2,000 TVL definition, both horizontally and vertically, for detailed high-definition reproduction. With F10 (2000 lux) sensitivity and a signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB or higher, the sensor maintains low-noise, high-quality footage even in very low-light conditions.

Various Interfaces without CCU: Guide

The AK-UCX100 is able to operate independently as a standalone camera head without a CCU, and the unit provides support for a variety of IP standards, such as 12G-SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, and SRT without a CCU, delivering adaptable compatibility with both baseband and IP systems. In addition, it is compatible with Panasonic's AK-UCU700 CCU series and the newly developed AK-CFA100 Camera Fiber Adaptor, offering a broad variety of options to accommodate distinct on-sight environments.

SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility for IP

The AK-UCX100 addresses a range of IP-migration issues to maintain footage quality, enhance operability and more. SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility permits transmission of uncompressed 4K footage for stable IP operation in both live and studio settings. Support for JPEG XS enables low-latency transmission of visually lossless footage quality, helping ensure smooth footage transmission even in bandwidth-constrained settings. In addition, Tag VLAN identifies and groups cameras connected to the network, simplifying management in large-network operations.

Redundant Operation: ST 2110

SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility permits redundant operation and network redundancy during IP operation.

SDR (BT.709) and AK-UCX100 offers Simultaneous HLG (BT.2020)

Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) achieves fine gradation of light and dark with a wide dynamic range and ITU-R BT.2020 compatibility enables reproduction of nearly all natural colors for superior color accuracy. What’s more, simultaneous use of HLG (BT.2020) and SDR (BT.709) permits optimal color reproduction for virtually any content.

AK-UCX100 offers HD Low-Pass Filter for Reduced Moiré: Guide

The HD low-pass filter* lowers luminance and color moiré often seen in LED wall shooting, maintaining beautiful capture of live-stage performances with LED walls.

Integration: Panasonic PTZ Cameras

Whenever paired with a built-in 4K camera, the same remote operation panel (ROP) can be used for seamless color matching, making it easy to create dramatic multi-angle footage on location.

High-precision focus assist function: Guide

Equipment on the camera includes a high-precision focus indicator that accommodates the focus point with a guide display and a focus guide that displays the in-focus status as an icon on the viewfinder through a distance measurement technology via image phase detection. This function supports additional ease of use in live production to beautifully express once-in-a-lifetime moments. It additionally provides a VF dark area boost function that enhances visibility on the VF by increasing the contrast of dark areas whenever using the viewfinder.

Data Transmission (TRUNK) and Video

Footage and data can be transmitted between the camera and CCU via an optical cable, allowing system upgrades based on operational needs. Two 3G-SDI systems (CCU/CFA to camera) with built-in frame synchronizer (FS) can be used for the prompter, fixed return, and camera-side observation (studio floor, etc.). Additionally, one 3G-SDI system (camera to CCU/CFA) with built-in FS feeds footage from a handheld or PTZ camera in a studio or in the field. Footage source uses built-in FS for asynchronous footage signals.
