AK-HC3900GSJ Multi-Format Studio Camera

Panasonic Upgradable 1080P HDR Studio Camera

Large 11.14-megapixel image sensor for high sensitivity, low noise video

The full HD camera system also features an updated CCU and ROP in pursuit of total system performance. High-operability systems for situations ranging from studio production to live events and sports can be constructed at low cost. 4K can also be supported with an optional upgrade*. A range of options for expansion are available, enabling selection appropriate to the application.

* An optional 4K/12G-SDI Interface Kit AK-HUC01 (sold separately) is required.

Multi-format Support

Video formats such as 1080/59.94p, 50p, 59.94i, 50i and 23.98PsF are supported for use according to the operation application.

Supported formats (when connected to AK-HCU250):

• 1080/59.94p
• 1080/50i
• 1080/23.98PsF
• 1080/50p
• 1080/29.97PsF
• 720/59.94p
• 1080/59.94i
• 1080/25PsF 720/50p

B4 Mount
The 2/3 lens can be used without an external adaptor, and the internal lens is specially designed for large sensors, ensuring high video quality. This new acquisition method maximizes the effectiveness of incident light.

Built-in Optical Filter
The internal ND filter can be used in various shooting environments.

ND filters: Through, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64

HDR (High Dynamic Range)
This mode provides rich gradation to render contrast, colour and shadow in highlights and dark image areas that could not previously be reproduced due to overexposure and black defects respectively, resulting in more realistic image quality. Variable HDR that makes optimal adjustments for a wide dynamic range is supported. In addition, it is possible to configure a system supporting simultaneous HDR/SDR in order to handle production environments with both. The SDR signal can suppress blown-out highlights with the offset gain function from the HDR, and the same knee adjustment as for HDR can be performed for highlights.

High-speed Scanning for Low-skew Shooting
The AK-HC3900GJ/HC3900GSJ supports a high reading speed of 1/100 of a second, compared to 1/60 of a second on standard cameras. The skewing characteristic of MOS sensors has been reduced by reading out the MOS sensor signal at high speed.

Focus Assist Functions
Quick and accurate focusing is supported with focus assist functions such as Focus Bar (indicates focus level), Focus-in-Red (uses colour to indicate areas in focus), MAG (magnifies central portion), and Square (shows focus status of screen as a whole). Lenses with auto focus 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.

Detailed Functions Optimized for Operability

• Colour temperature display and adjustment function (2000 K to 15000 K variable).
• Camera settings, such as video adjustments, can be saved to an SD memory card. Firmware version upgrades are also supported.
