AK-PLV100GSJ

The AK-PLV100GSJ 4K studio camera, designed to help production teams make their content more exciting and engaging.

The AK-PLV100 4K PL mount studio camera carries on the legacy of VariCam with a cinematic look, V-LOG and Dual Native ISO, and streamlines multicamera live shooting to deliver another purpose built studio camera for easy CINELIVE production.

Key Features

• Equipped with a large format, 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL Lens mount to accommodate cinema lenses for shallow-depth of field
• Capture frame rate is switchable to Cinematic 24p/30p on a 60p system, users can easily switch between a 24p/30p look and a standard broadcast 60p look
• Outputs SMPTE ST2110 video directly from its camera head and merely requires an optical-fiber connection for return input, intercom input/output, PTP synchronization, trunk out, and tally input
• Compatibility with Panasonic's 2/3-inch studio-camera system equipment allows the use of CCUs (UCU600 and HCU250), ROPs (HRP1010 and HRP1015) and other accessories
• V-LOG output for wide dynamic range and rich color gamut, along with Dual Native ISO for superb low-light performance

Large Format Sensor and PL Mount for Various Expression
With a Super 35mm 5.7K MOS sensor and PL mount, inherited from the VariCam camera, Panasonic is bringing its pioneering experience of cine live technology to its studio camera line-up - enabling powerfully expressive video with a shallow depth of field to bring it closer to the director's intention.

Simple IP-based live production without CCU
To support production studios moving towards more connected, IP-based workflows, the camera features SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility. This enables more streamlined connection to the KAIROS IT/IP platform (released in May 2020), which gives professionals unlimited control to deliver rich content to multiple screens and streams.  
SMPTE ST 2110 input/output will be possible directly from the AK-PLV100GSJ camera head without connecting to a CCU*, enabling IP-based live production with just the camera, doing away with the need for complicated systems. It's also possible to output 12G-SDI signals directly from the camera head, allowing for flexible system construction and wide-ranging operations.

Camera head can be switched anytime
The camera head is fully compatible with the accessories for Panasonic's 2/3-inch studio-camera line-up. By simply replacing the existing camera head with the AK-PLV100GSJ, cinematic video can be created with the existing CCU (AK-UCU600 or AK-HCU250).
