Panasonic AK-UCX100GSJ is a 4K HDR studio and field camera for studio, sports and stage production in the IP era. A 19.29-million-pixel MOS sensor on a B4 mount delivers 2000 TV lines, HLG and SDR together, and 4K 2x or HD 4x high speed. It runs with or without a CCU, with two 12G-SDI outputs, dual SFP28 25G slots for SMPTE ST 2110 with JPEG XS, NDI High Bandwidth and SRT, plus built-in autofocus.
