Panasonic 8K Multi-Purpose ROI Camera System

Panasonic 8K Multi-Purpose ROI Camera System

The Panasonic 8K ROI Camera System enables the next-generation of smart studio broadcast acquisition whereby ROI stands for Region of Interest. An 8K ROI camera can be set with a maximum of four crop areas to obtain an HD image from each of the crop areas.

Pan, tilt and zoom operations can be used on each crop area, so a single 8K ROI camera serves as four HD cameras. It improves acquisition efficiency in live and sports application. The 8K ROI camera contributes to the reduction of camera setup, relocation and transport costs.

This also eliminates the need to take up audience seats for the setup of multiple cameras. The 8K Multi Purpose Camera is set up in a fixed position. The four crop areas can be individually controlled for pan, tilt and zoom. 

Smart Studio Technology

• The ROI System features an 8K full-size CMOS image sensor.
• Up to 4 x separate HD videos can be cropped from a high-resolution, wide-angle 8K image, and each cropped image can be panned, tilted and zoomed individually using recommended remote controllers.
• Portrait, horizontal linking, vertical linking and 4-frame cross-linking (4K) cropping frame variations.
• An automatic wide-angle distortion correction function removes, in real time, distortion of images cropped from the periphery, thus realizing natural-looking images.
