The Panasonic AK-UC4000 4K Broadcast Camera with LEMO Connector offers the high video quality that is only possible with a large sensor, along with a wide range of 4K acquisition with the latest functions such as HDR (HLG), BT.2020 and high-speed shooting. The camera keeps up with diversifying systems with features such as 12G-SDI, TICO, over SDI (4K over 3G-SDI) output, and MoIP, making it suitable not only for studio production but for a wide range of operations such as sports and events. With high video quality and a system that can be adapted to various situations, this camera provides the level of high-end production that is needed in the 4K age.

High Resolution
This AK-UC4000 has a newly developed large 4.4K sensor. Beyond 4K sampling is used to achieve an ultra-high-definition resolution of 2000 TV lines.
High Speed
Supports high-speed* 2x, 3x or 4x output in HD mode at 1080p, 1080i and 720p simultaneously with standard (1x) output
Large 4.4K sensor
With a newly developed 4.4K sensor, it realizes ultra-high-definition resolution, high sensitivity, low noise and a wide dynamic range
Support 4K/HD
With the AK-UCU600 Camera Control Unit (CCU), uncompressed long-distance transmission of 4K/HD video signals via optical fiber is supported. The AK HRP1000GJ/1005GJ Remote Operation Panels (ROP) are equipped with a color LCD display that provides excellent visibility and functions for a quick response. 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-UC4000 is equipped with a newly developed large-format 4.4K MOS sensor. Two shooting modes can be selected. In High Sense Mode, it is possible to obtain an S/N ratio of 62 dB*2 or higher while also achieving F10 high sensitivity. The result is low-noise and high-image-quality video.
Skew reduction
This camera’s normal and low skew reading speeds are around 1/2 and 1/3 of those on a standard camera (1/60 of a second) respectively. The skewing characteristic of MOS sensors has
Chromatic Aberration
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.
High Dynamic Range
This mode provides rich gradation to render contrast, color, and shadow in dark image areas that could not previously be reproduced due to blackout, thus resulting in more realistic image quality. It supports a variable HDR by adjusting the high dynamic range. In addition, it is possible to configure a system supporting simultaneous HDR/SDR in order to handle production environments with both. SDR image can be adjusted overexposed by offset gain and knee function adjusts bright image as well as HDR.
ITU-R BT.2020
This camera is compatible with BT.2020, a color space that can recreate almost every color in the natural world, enabling a wider range of color expression.
Shockless gain
It is possible to smoothly transition the image changes that occur when the 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.
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
Tone 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. The skin tone-get feature finds a specific color in the frame to simplify the setup process.
Data transmission (TRUNK)
Since video and data can be transmitted between the camera and a Camera Control Unit (CCU) using optical fiber cable alone, system expansion to match operation conditions is possible.HD-SDI (CCU camera) two lines, VBS (CCU camera) two lines: Can be used for monitoring with the prompter, fixed return or camera (studio floor monitor), etc.
Focus assist functions
Quick and accurate focusing is supported with focus assist functions such as Focus Bar (indicates focus level), Focus-in-Red (uses color to indicate areas in focus), MAG (magnifies central portion), and Square (shows focus status of the screen as a whole). Lenses with autofocus and focus assist capabilities are also supported. The Remote Operation Panel (ROP) can also be used to focus and zoom while using the digital lens.
Intercom connection
With two independent intercom lines, in addition to Intercom 1 and Intercom 2 switching, an Intercom 1 and 2 mix mode has been added and can be selected to observe the situation. With the Intercom front/rear switch and front volume, it is possible to adjust the intercom audio level even when the camera is being used from the shoulder.
