Panasonic AK-UC4000

New addition to the Panasonic system camera line, joining the current AK-UC3000 4K HDR capable-camera and the AK-HC5000 1080p 4x high-speed HDR-capable system. It brings together the features of both and raises the bar for 4K HDR performance and future-proof infrastructure. 3/2018.

The current UC3000 utilizes Large Single Sensor Internal Expansion Lens (LSSIEL) optics to ex-pand the standard image from broadcast 2/3” B-4 mount lenses to a 1” cine-style 4K sensor, ena-bling cinema camera performance with broadcast optical behavior and lenses. The UC4000 utiliz-es LSSIEL optics with Panasonic’s new, larger, advanced super 35mm imager, capturing 4.4K na-tive resolution improving the UHD resolution (more than 2000 TV lines, both horizontal and verti-cal), dynamic range and S/N ratio (62dB) over the UC3000. It maintains the same broadcast lens compatibility and operation and keeps the same camera form factor--matching or surpassing the best performing 4K HDR B-4 mount cameras on the market.



The UC4000 is designed for live sports production and high-end event broadcasts, with potential customers including pro sports broadcasters and production rental companies, stadium and venue owners (pro sports teams) and collegiate sports video departments, as well as broadcast studios and call letter TV stations, houses of worship, high-end corporate video departments and eGaming broadcasters.

The UC4000 will be compatible with the same accessories as the UC3000 and HC5000 cameras including: the AK-HVF100 studio viewfinder; the AK-HRP1000, AK-HRP1005 and AK-MSU1000 camera controllers; the AK-HBU500 studio build-up kit; SHAN-HC5000 shipping case and all ca-bling. High speed output, 12G output at the camera head and MoIP capabilities will be phased in with ongoing feature upgrades.
