4K Studio Camera Equipped for On-site Production to the Future of Video Production

The new AK-UCX100GSJ 4K studio camera is fully equipped to meet the demands for high-quality video and innovative on-sight live production in the IP era, including studio work, sports broadcasting and stage productions.

Panasonic's new camera achieves exceptional 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.

The AK-UCX100GSJ can be operated as a standalone camera head, without requiring a Camera Control Unit (CCU), and it supports a variety of IP standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, and SRT, as well as 12G-SDI (x2). SMPTE ST 2110 enables network redundancy and supports JPEG XS for low-latency transmission, ensuring visually lossless video quality and extra- stable IP operation.

Various Interfaces without CCU

The AK-UCX100GSJ can operate independently as a standalone camera head without a CCU, and it supports a variety of IP standards, including 12G-SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, and SRT without a CCU, providing flexible compatibility with both baseband and IP systems. In addition, it is compatible with Panasonic'sAK-UCU700 CCU seriesand the newly developedAK-CFA100 Camera Fiber Adaptor, offering a wide range of options to accommodate different on-sight environments.

Exceptional Resolution

The camera's new MOS sensor uses oversampling to achieve 2,000 TVL resolution, 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 ensures low-noise, high-quality video even in very low-light conditions

Supports high bandwidth NDI for low latency transmission of high-quality 4K 60p video, and SRT for high-quality and stable transmission, and also compatible with 12G-SDI output for use in a wide range of situations, from live streaming of events to studio production.

Key features

• Supports a wide variety of IP transmission protocols, including NDI, NDI|HX, and SRT
• Supports 4K 60p shooting and 12G-SDI output
• Includes a wide-angle lens with a 74.1° field of view and 24x optical zoom
• Supports FreeD for building AR/VR systems
• Adopts new mechanical pan/tilt for improved responsiveness and quietness

World's First 4K/60p PTZ Camera supporting NDI and SRT

Supports high bandwidth NDI for low latency transmission of high-quality 4K 60p video, and SRT for high-quality and stable transmission, and also compatible with 12G-SDI output for use in a wide range of situations, from live streaming of events to studio production.

Supports a wide variety of IP transmission protocols, including NDI, NDI|HX, and SRT

High bandwidth NDI that can transmit 4K video at speeds of up to 250 Mbps and full HD video up to 100 Mbps is included to provide high-quality low latency live video transmission with a single LAN cable. High efficiency low bandwidth NDI|HX (HD) is also included to enable video transmission at low bitrates. SRT is also supported to maintain stability while transmitting high-quality video, even in unstable network environments. RTMP/RTMPS provides direct streaming to live broadcasting services such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live from the camera.

Supports 4K 60p shooting and 12G-SDI output

Supports 4K 60p/50p video at 3840 x 2160 to provide smooth and high-quality shooting of moving images, and a wide variety of output interfaces such as 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, HDMI, and IP. The AW-UE100 PTZ camera offers PoE++ support for camera power, control and video transmission over a single cable. Additionally, a power adapter is included with the camera.

Includes a wide-angle lens with a 74.1° field of view and 24x optical zoom

A wide angle lens with a horizontal angle of view of 74.1 degrees enables a wide area to be shot from a limited installation space, and 24x optical zoom maintains high image quality at high zoom ratios. This allows shooting in large indoor spaces.

Supports FreeD for building AR/VR systems

FreeD command output enables connection with AR/VR (Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality) systems. This allows the camera tracking information (pan/tilt/zoom/focus/iris) to be output together with a synchronization signal to easily build systems without an encoder.

Adopts new mechanical pan/tilt for improved responsiveness and quietness

The inclusion of a Direct Drive mechanism improves the responsiveness of pan/tilt and quietness during pan/tilt operations. In addition to Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) has been added for the roll direction. This provides stable video shooting even at locations utilizing robotics and rail systems, etc.
