4K PL-Mount Studio Camera with Shallow Depth of Field for Live Cinematic VideoAs video picture quality continues to be improved, the market is demanding increasingly engaging and captivating coverage of live sports and other events. In response, Panasonic announces an all-new studio camera for live cinematic video - the AK-PLV100GSJ - a 4K PL-mount studio camera equipped with a 5.7K Super 35 mm image sensor for creating diverse video expressions with unprecedented freedom.For Studio Camera Users - Inspiring cinematic video with shallow depth of fieldPanasonic's new PL-mount 4K studio camera with a 5.7K Super 35 mm image sensor is powerfully expressive thanks to its shallow depth of field. It provides the visual beauty of a cinema camera without sacrificing studio-camera operability. What's more, it is fully compatible with Panasonic' s AK-UCU700/HCU250 Camera Control Unit (CCU). Simply replace the camera head of an existing system with the AK-PLV100GSJ and start creating powerful cinematic live video.For Cinema Camera Users - Simplified System for Live Cinematic VideoLive production with a cinema camera normally requires the addition of many external devices, resulting in time-consuming preparation and increased risk of operational breakdowns due to system complexity. AK-PLV100GSJ is a super35 image sensor camera with studio camera' s capabilities which makes the simplest system and requires no accessories, just like a studio camera. In addition to it, AK-PLV100GSJ outputs 12G/3G directly from its camera head to eliminate the need for a CCU. Forget those large systems - simply show up with your AK-PLV100GSJ for cinematic-level live production!5.7K Super 35 mm Image SensorThe AK-PLV100GSJ's Super 35 mm (24.60 x 12.97mm) image sensor achieves breathtaking 5.7K resolution, delivering more than 5.4K pixels in 16:9, nearly double that of UHD. By starting with a higher native resolution, the 5.7K sensor achieves a higher resolving image when down-sampled to UHD/HD/720p. In addition, increased color information results in a finer, more accurate finished image.Dual Native ISO - 800/2500The large-format Super 35 mm image sensor enables high-sensitivity shooting at F11 (59.94 Hz) or F12 (50 Hz). Dual Native ISO, first introduced in Panasonic' s VariCam lineup of cinema cameras, is also supported to allow the image sensor to be read in a fundamentally different way, extracting more information without degrading the image quality. Switching from standard to high sensitivity produces almost no increase in noise or other artifacts. The AK-PLV100's Dual Native ISOs are 800 and 2500, which give a greater ability to shoot in almost any lighting environment.14-stop Dynamic Range and Rich Tones with V-LogThe ability to capture accurate colors and rich color tones is a must to create stunning image. AK-PLV100GSJ imports the renowned colorimetry of the VariCam lineup of cinema cameras. The AK-PLV100GSJ contains V-Log/V-Gamut capture to deliver high dynamic range and broad colors. V-Log delivers a very flat image whilst maintaining all of the color information within the image.This means that there is a greater level of play when the images are put through post-production processes. The Super 35 mm image sensor achieves a wide color gamut known as V-Gamut, which is a color space that is wider than BT.2020. Thanks to the wide dynamic range and color space, AK-PLV100GSJ also supports HDR shooting.V-Log Paint FunctionsIn V-Log mode, Color Temperature Preset, Color Temperature A ch / B ch, DNR Switch, and DNR Level can be adjusted.FILM-REC GammaIn addition to standard HD gamma, FILM-REC gamma with six curves (HD, FILMLIKE1, FILMLIKE2, FILMLIKE3, FILM-REC and VIDEO-REC) provides easy cinematic video production.Cinematic IndicatorsSwitchable display to cinematic unit indicator: dB/ISO for sensitivity, sec./deg for shutter speed, and mater/feet for focal length.Multiple Frame RatesThe frame rate can be switched seamlessly from 60fps to cinematic 24fps/30fps The AK-PLV100GSJ also supports 59.94p over 60fps, 30fps and 24fps.Motorized ND FilterA built-in optical ND filter provides to flexibly match lighting levels, including Clear, 1/4, 1/16, and 1/64. Remote operation makes switching extra easy.Support for Rich ExpressionsDigital Extender (2x)The video image size is doubled by the digital signal processing circuit, enabling high-magnification shooting even with low-magnification lenses. Resolution is sufficient even if the video is magnified. Also, light intensity is not degraded, unlike when using extender lenses.Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) FunctionDRS suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights automatically. For scenes with dark and bright areas, such as outside views taken from indoors, DRS minimizes blocked shadows, blown highlights and washed-out colors by using high-level gradation in dark, bright, and intermediate tones, enabling real-time video with a wide dynamic range.Focus Assist FunctionQuick, accurate focusing is achieved with the 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 entire screen). Also, the Remote Operation Panel (ROP) can operate zoom and focus position while using a digital lens.Skin Tone Detail CorrectSkin wrinkles and blemishes are corrected to produce beautiful skin tones.Linear MatrixColor saturation and hue can each be adjusted precisely with the linear matrix.12-Axis Color CorrectionColor saturation and hue can be adjusted with 12-axis color correction, enabling creative video production with color matching when shooting with multiple cameras. In addition, independent skin-color adjustment enables fine color expression.Video Transmission for Live OperationLong-Distance TransmissionConvenient long-distance transmission of uncompressed video signals to a CCU via optical fiber is supported. Supplying power to the camera from the CCU enables transmission distances up to 2 km for the AK-UCU700/UCU600 and 1.2 km for the AK-HCU250. Moreover, up to 10 km is possible when using an external power supply for the camera and general-purpose optical transmission equipment. In addition to a dedicated serial line, IP connection via LAN cable is supported for control between the CCU and the Remote Operation Panel (ROP).Video Transmission (Trunk)Video signals other than those from this unit can be transmitted between the camera and CCU via an optical cable, enabling the system to be upgraded flexibly as required.3G/1.5G-SDI (CCU > camera) one line (internal FS)For a prompter system, studio floor monitor, etc.3G/1.5G-SDI (camera > CCU) one line (internal FS)For outputting video from a handheld or PTZ camera in the studio, field, etc. to the CCU (system), including asynchronous video thanks to video input with frame synchronizer.Other Features&#149; Color temperature display and adjustment (2,000K to 15,000K)&#149; Assignable user buttons of camera head and LCD viewfinder (4 on the AK-PLV100GSJ)&#149; Video adjustments and other camera settings savable/readable to SD memory cardFlexible System ConfigurationThe AK-PLV100GSJ supports both IP and baseband operation and offer flexible system configuration according to the scene. It supports CCU input/output like a conventional studio camera, as well as SMPTE ST 2110 input/output and 12G-SDI output directly from the camera head without a CCU. System configuration for live production can be as simple as adding the AK-PLV100GSJ to an existing studio camera system to realize cinematic video.IP OperationIn addition to uncompressed SMPTE ST 2110-20 HD, the ST 2110-22 JPEG XS UHD is supported to compress data volume with almost no video degradation. Support for the latest standards ensures low latency 4K video transmission as well as compatibility with other IP systems.IP operation without CCUThe AK-PLV100GSJ provides direct SMPTE ST 2110 input/output from the camera head for low cost operation without a CCU. IP-based live production simply requires bringing the camera head to the site, without any need for a large system.IP operation with CCUConnection to a CCU allows ST 2110-20 HD uncompressed output with redundancy. Compatibility with Panasonic   s 2/3 type lens mount studio camera system enables connection with the existing CCU (AK-UCU600) or new 4K/IP-compatible CCU (AK-UCU700). Simply replace the existing camera head with the AK-PLV100GSJ to create cinematic video.Baseband OperationThe AK-PLV100GSJ can be easily added to an existing SDI system thanks to its compatibility with 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI and HD-SDI baseband video signals as well as support for both 4K (UHD) and HD. Return video input, intercom input/output and other systemic operations are possible.Baseband Operation without CCUThe AK-PLV100GSJ camera head can directly output 12G-SDI as well as display input return video, enabling simple, flexible system construction for a wide array of use without a CCU.Baseband Operation with CCUCompatibility with Panasonic's 2/3 type lens mount studio camera system allows an existing CCU (AK-UCU600 or AK-HCU250) to be used.
