Internal conversion lens allows use of existing 2/3" type lenses for 4K shooting

New-generation 4K video UHD and HD/SD output supported*

Applying built-in conversion lens, 2/3-type lens can be used with this 4K large-format camera without an adapter achieving excellent image quality. The new imaging system makes maximum use of incident light to achieve a wide dynamic range.

AK-UC3000 Key Features

High-quality video and excellent operability

With the AK-UCU500 Camera Control Unit (CCU), uncompressed longdistance 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-UC3000 is equipped with a newly developed large-format 4K MOS sensor. Two shooting modes can be selected. In High Sense Mode, it is possible to obtain an S/N ratio of 60 dB or higher while also achieving F10 high sensitivity. The result is low-noise and high-image-quality video.

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

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. Skintone-get feature finds a specific color in frame to simplify the set up process.
