Panasonic AK-UC3300 4K Studio Camera that realizes excellent color ...
Product Overview
The Panasonic AK-UC3300GSJ is a 4K studio camera system built for broadcast studios, live events, and eSports production. A large-format 4K MOS image sensor delivers detailed UHD acquisition with high sensitivity and low noise, while HDR and ITU-R BT.2020 wide color support keep it aligned with current production pipelines. Built-in optical conversion lets standard 2/3-type B4 broadcast lenses mount directly, making it a practical upgrade path for facilities moving from HD to 4K studio camera workflows.
Product Description
The AK-UC3300 uses an 11-megapixel 4K sensor to resolve approximately 2000 TV lines for a richly detailed picture, while maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB or higher at high sensitivities. It supports simultaneous UHD and HD acquisition for multi-format production, plus a 2x high-speed HD mode and a low-skew function realized through high-speed scanning at 1/100 second for clean capture of fast motion in sports and live events. Lens Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) and a Dynamic Range Stretcher (DRS) further refine image quality by controlling fringing, black detail, and highlight rolloff.
As part of a broadcast camera chain, the AK-UC3300 fits alongside other Panasonic studio cameras and accessories on our store. Compare the higher-end AK-UC4000 and the IP-flexible AK-UCX100, consider the HD AK-HC3900 for 1080p chains, and add a 9" LCD color viewfinder for operator framing.
