4K PL-mount Studio Camera with Shallow Depth of Field for Live Cinematic Video

As video picture quality continues to be improved, the market is demanding increasingly engaging and captivating coverage of live sports and other events. In response, Panasonic announces an all-new studio camera for live cinematic video-the AK-PLV100GSJ-a 4K PL-mount studio camera equipped with a 5.7K Super 35 mm image sensor for creating diverse video expressions with unprecedented freedom.

For Studio Camera Users

Inspiring cinematic video with shallow depth of field

Panasonic's new PL-mount 4K studio camera with a 5.7K Super 35 mm image sensor is powerfully expressive thanks to its shallow depth of field. It provides the visual beauty of a cinema camera without sacrificing studio-camera operability. What's more, it is fully compatible with Panasonic' s AK-UCU700/HCU250 Camera Control Unit (CCU). Simply replace the camera head of an existing system with the AK-PLV100GSJ and start creating powerful cinematic live video.

For Cinema Camera Users

Simplified System for Live Cinematic Video

Live production with a cinema camera normally requires the addition of many external devices, resulting in time-consuming preparation and increased risk of operational breakdowns due to system complexity. AK-PLV100GSJ is a super35 image sensor camera with studio camera' s capabilities which makes the simplest system and requires no accessories, just like a studio camera.In addition to it, AK-PLV100GSJ outputs 12G/3G directly from its camera head to eliminate the need for a CCU. Forget those large systems-simply show up with your AK-PLV100GSJ for cinematic-level live production!

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.

PTZ cameras play an increasingly important role in teleworking such as online meetings and online classes.The AW-UE20 offers high image quality, wide shooting angle and high-magnification zoom to provide more comfortable communication through high-quality video images and stable transmission.The AW-UE20 is compatible with a wide range of systems such as SDI, HDMI, USB and IP, thus allowing flexible camera setup and operation.

The AK-UC4000 studio camera is yet another Panasonic innovation in broadcast technology. Users can operate the camera in both 4K and HD modes. In HD mode the AK-UC4000 produces HD images with high sensitivity and low noise. In addition to the functions appreciated in previous studio camera series such as DRS and CineGamma, the AK-UC4000 adds new features such as focus assist, flash band compensation, and skew reduction, which is realized through high-speed scan from the MOS sensor. There are additional functions to improve shooting experience including enhanced shock less gain (-6 dB to 36 dB), a user gamma function, black gamma correction according to the pedestal setting, multi-step DNR and easy matrix adjustment. AK-UC4000 Series achieves excellent image quality and operability.

When paired with the AK-UCU600 Camera Control Unit, the UC4000 is capable of 4K image production and uncompressed long-distance transmission. The AK-HRP1000 and HRP1005 Remote Operation Panels are equipped with a color LCD to provide visibility of the display for smooth control. The camera and camera control unit can be connected for approximately 2,000-meter long-distance transmission of video signals when power is supplied from the camera control unit. The remote operation panel and the camera can be connected using a dedicated cable.

The AK-HVF100 230mm LCD color view finder is equipped with a large display and diverse functions. The focus assist functions include Focus Bar (indicates focus level), Focus-in-Red (uses color to indicate areas in focus), Expand (magnifies central portion), and Square (shows focus status of screen as a whole).

Overall, the AK-UC4000 and AW-UCU600 system offers superior cost performance with respect to both operability and ease of use.
