Panasonic AK-PLV100GSJ 4K PL-Mount Studio Camera for Live Cinematic Video with Shallow Depth of Field

4K PL-mount Studio Camera with Shallow Depth of Field for Live Cinematic Video

As 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 field

Panasonic'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 Video

Live 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 it the simplest system and requires no accessories, just like a studio camera. In addition, 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!

FEATURES

Large Format Sensor and PL Mount for Various Expression
This 4K studio camera from Panasonic is equipped with a 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL mount, inheriting the design concept of our VariCam camera, allowing for powerfully expressive live cinematic video closer to the creator’s intention with a shallow depth of field.
Simple IP-based Live Production without CCU
SMPTE ST2110 input/output is 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 is 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 to Capture What You Want.
The camera head is fully compatible with the equipment in Panasonic’s 2/3-inch studio-camera system. 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).
