1080p 4x high-speed shooting included as standard function
The AK-HC5000 camera system has a high-speed shooting function that adds rich
expressions to video content production. High speed shooting at up to 240 fps is
achieved with four interleaved 1080p 3G SDI outputs, compatible with leading slow
motion playback servers.

AK-HC5000 Key Features
High-quality video and excellent operability
With the AK-UCU500 Camera Control Unit (CCU), uncompressed longĀdistance transmission of 4K/HD video signals via optical fiber is supported.
The AK-HRP1000GJ/1005GJ Remote Operation Panel (ROP) is equipped with
a color LCD display that provides excellent visibility. In combination, this
system achieves high-quality video and excellent operability. In cases where
power is supplied by the CCU, it is possible to transmit at a long distance of
up to approx. 2,000 m between the camera and the CCU. The distance can
be extended up to 10,000 m
*1 by providing a local power supply at the
camera head and using general-purpose single mode optical fiber. Between
the CCU and the ROP, in addition to a dedicated serial line, IP connection via
LAN cable is also supported.
High sensitivity and low noise
The AK-HC5000 is equipped with a 2/3-type 3MOS sensor, and it also has two
shooting modes to choose from. In High Sense Mode, it achieves F10 59.94p
and F11 50p high sensitivity and low noise with an S/N ratio of 60 dB or higher.
Skew reduction realized through high-speed scans
Building on the knowhow accumulated in Panasonic's ENG camera
experience, the skewing characteristic of MOS sensors has been reduced by
reading out the MOS sensor signal at high speed.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function

*
The DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown
highlights. When dark and bright areas are mixed in the same scene, such as
when looking outside from indoors, DRS can maintain a high level of
gradation expression in dark, bright, and intermediate tones, thereby
minimizing blocked shadows, blown highlights, and washed out colors. This
makes it possible to obtain visually wide dynamic range video in real time.

Selectable gamma curves
In addition to the Film Rec Gamma functions (V-REC, F-REC) supporting
digital film production, you can select the Filmlike 1/2/3 modes. They produce
natural gradations and rich color reproduction with a film-like quality.

Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
This exclusive technology utilizes communication between the lens and
camera to deploy for a sophisticated algorithm that will automatically
compensate for the registration error caused by lens chromatic aberration,
and minimize the circumjacent blur.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) compatibility
This mode enables the camera to apply an alternative optical electro transfer
function (OETF) to selected camera outputs so that the camera can provide a
high dynamic range (HDR) image for capable displays or function in a complete
HDR live broadcast system. HDR displays use their increased brightness and
contrast capabilities to take advantage of the cameras full dynamic range to
deliver compelling high contrast images with very bright highlights.
Shockless gain
It is possible to smoothly transition the image changes that occur when gain
is changed. In addition, with the 0.1 dB step master gain adjustment function,
you can fine tune the adjustments to match the scene being shot.
Diverse color correction functions
In addition to EBU and NTSC preset color matrix, camera users can save two custom
specified linear matrix tables, and additionally tune the saturation and hue individual
colors with 12-pole color correction system. Specific skin tones can also be adjusted
in addition to the primary secondary and tertiary colors in the 12-pole system.
Skin Tone Detail Correction
T
one down wrinkles and blemishes in on air personalities to beautifully shoot natural
skin tones. While designed to soften skin tones the skin tone detail feature can be
applied to any hue phase so it could likewise be used to soften areas of other colors
(such as green grass). The skin tone detail feature can define three independent skin
tone ranges to manage different light levels or different people on camera. SkinĀtone-get feature finds a specific color in frame to simplify the set up process.
