Panasonic AK-HC3900 Upgradable 1080P HDR Studio Camera

The large sensor provides high sensitivity and video quality alongside excellent cost-effectiveness.
This studio camera system is designed for use by broadcasting services and can be upgraded to support 4K.

The AK-HC3900GJ/HC3900GSJ studio camera is designed for use by broadcasting services and is equipped with a large sensor for high sensitivity and video quality. By combining them AK-HCU250PJ/PSJ/HCU250EJ/ESJ Camera Control Units (CCU) and the AK-HRP250GJ Remote Operation Panel (ROP), it is possible to construct a long-distance optical fiber transmission studio camera system at low cost.

With multiple supported formats, including 1080/59.94p and 720/59.94p, the camera can be used for a variety of HD video production purposes. In addition, Native 4K output with horizontal resolution of 2,000 TV lines can be achieved with the 4K upgrade*¹ (with the 4K optional accessory equipped on the CCU). IP connection between the CCU and ROP is also supported, in addition to serial connection. It also supports PoE power supply*² and offers a fiexible video production system that supports sports and live events, which require high operability, in addition to studio shooting.
