Overview

AK-UCX100 4K HDR 12G-SDI Studio Camera

The AK-UCX100GSJ 4K studio camera from Panasonic is designed for top-notch video production across studio work, sports, and live events. Delivering exceptional clarity with 2,000 TV lines resolution and vibrant colors through HDR technology, it ensures detailed and realistic images. Operating independently of a Camera Control Unit (CCU), this camera embraces IP innovation with support for SMPTE ST 2110, NDI High Bandwidth, SRT, and dual 12G-SDI outputs. SMPTE ST 2110 enhances network reliability and JPEG XS compatibility allows for low-latency, visually lossless video transmission and stable IP operation.

Key Features:

  • Independent operation without a CCU​
  • Supports 12G-SDI (x2), SMPTE ST 2110, NDI High Bandwidth, SRT, and more​
  • Supports network redundancy (SMPTE ST 2110)​
  • Simultaneous HDR/HLG (BT.2020) and SDR (BT.709)​
  • 2,000 TVL horizontal and vertical resolution​

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's AK-UCU700 CCU series and the newly developed AK-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.​

SMPTE ST2110 Support for IP

The AK-UCX100GSJ addresses various IP-migration issues to maintain video quality, improve operability and more. SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility enables transmission of uncompressed 4K video for stable IP operation in both live and studio settings. Support for JPEG XS allows low-latency transmission of visually lossless video quality, ensuring smooth video transmission even in bandwidth-constrained environments. In addition, Tag VLAN identifies and groups cameras connected to the network, simplifying management in large-network operations.

Simultaneous HLG (BT.2020) and SDR (BT.709)

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

HD Low-Pass Filter for Reduced Moiré

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

Integration with Panasonic PTZ Cameras

When paired with an integrated 4K camera, the same remote operation panel (ROP) can be used for seamless color matching, making it easy to create dramatic multi-angle video on location.​

High Precision Focus Assist

The AK-CFA100 uses phase detection to measure distances for high-precision Focus Assist with a Focus Indicator display and Focus Guide icons showing status. This convenience greatly enhances live production by ensuring beautiful capture of fleeting moments. In addition, VF Boost enhances contrast in dark areas when using the viewfinder for improved visibility.​

Video and Data Transmission (TRUNK)

Video 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 monitoring (studio floor, etc.). Also, one 3G-SDI system (camera to CCU/CFA) with built-in FS outputs video from a handheld or PTZ camera in a studio or in the field. Video input uses built-in FS for asynchronous video signals.​

4K/HD High-Speed Mode

High-speed shooting achieves richly expressive video for sports and other dynamic scenes, using frame rates of 120p for 4K, and 120p, 180p and 240p for HD.

Additional Features:

  • 4K redundant connections using two SFP28 slots.​
  • Genlock IN for synchronizing video with external signals, and reference output.​
  • TSL 5.0 for sending and receiving tally information, bus switching, and material name information with networked external devices.​
  • Dante network audio.​
  • Built-in ND filter with multiple options: Clear, 1/2, 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64.​
