1080p 4x High-speed Shooting Included as Standard Function*
The AK-HC5000 camera system has a high-speed shooting function that adds rich expressions to video content production. High speed shooting at up to 240 fps is achieved with four interleaved 1080p 3G SDI outputs, compatible with leading slow motion playback servers.
Newly Developed 2/3-Type MOS Sensor
High-image-quality video production is realized with the newly developed 2/3-type MOS sensor. (See below chart for the supported video format.)
List of Supported Formats*
HD (3G-SDI) 1080/59.94p, 50p, 59.94i, 50i, 23.98p over 59.94i, 29.97PsF, 25PsF, 23.98PsF, 720/59.94p, 50p High-Speed (3G-SDI x 4) 1080/239.76p, 200p, 239.76i, 200i SD 480/59.94i, 576/50i - * AK-UCU500 Camera Control Unit (CCU) outputs 4x HD/HD/SD video.
High Sensitivity and Low Noise
The AK-HC5000 is equipped with a 2/3-type 3MOS sensor, and it also has two shooting modes to choose from. In High Sense Mode, it achieves F10 59.94p and F11 50p high sensitivity and low noise with an S/N ratio of 60 dB or higher.
Skew Reduction Realized through High-speed Scans
Building on the knowhow accumulated in Panasonic’s ENG camera experience, the skewing characteristic of MOS sensors has been reduced by reading out the MOS sensor signal at high speed.
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
This exclusive technology utilizes communication between the lens and camera to deploy for a sophisticated algorithm that will automatically compensate for the registration error caused by lens chromatic aberration, and minimize the circumjacent blur.*
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) Function*
The DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights. When dark and bright areas are mixed in the same scene, such as when looking outside from indoors, DRS can maintain a high level of gradation expression in dark, bright, and intermediate tones, thereby minimizing blocked shadows, blown highlights, and washed out colors. This makes it possible to obtain visually wide dynamic range video in real time.
Selectable Gamma Curves
In addition to the Film Rec Gamma functions (V-REC, F-REC) supporting digital film production, you can select the Filmlike 1/2/3 modes. They produce natural gradations and rich color reproduction with a film-like quality.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) Compatibility
This mode enables the camera to apply an alternative optical electro transfer function (OETF) to selected camera outputs so that the camera can provide a high dynamic range (HDR) image for capable displays or function in a complete HDR live broadcast system. HDR displays use their increased brightness and contrast capabilities to take advantage of the cameras full dynamic range to deliver compelling high contrast images with very bright highlights.
Shockless Gain
It is possible to smoothly transition the image changes that occur when gain is changed. In addition, with the 0.1 dB step master gain adjustment function, you can fine tune the adjustments to match the scene being shot.
Servo control ND / CC Filters
The cameras are equipped with filters for a variety of shooting environments.
[ND filters] CAP, Through, 1/4, 1/16, 1/64
[CC filters] Cross, 3200 K, 4300 K, 6300 K, DiffusionHigh-quality Video and Excellent Operability
With the AK-UCU500 Camera Control Unit (CCU), uncompressed longdistance transmission of 4K/HD video signals via optical fiber is supported. The AK-HRP1010GJ Remote Operation Panel (ROP) is equipped with a color LCD display that provides excellent visibility. In combination, this system achieves high-quality video and excellent operability. In cases where power is supplied by the CCU, it is possible to transmit at a long distance of up to approx. 2,000 m between the camera and the CCU. The distance can be extended up to 10,000 m* by providing a local power supply at the camera head and using general-purpose single mode optical fiber. Between the CCU and the ROP, in addition to a dedicated serial line, IP connection via LAN cable is also supported.

Diverse Color Correction Functions
In addition to EBU and NTSC preset color matrix, camera users can save two custom specified linear matrix tables, and additionally tune the saturation and hue individual colors with 12-pole color correction system. Specific skin tones can also be adjusted in addition to the primary secondary and tertiary colors in the 12-pole system.
Skin Tone Detail Correction
Tone down wrinkles and blemishes in on air personalities to beautifully shoot natural skin tones. While designed to soften skin tones the skin tone detail feature can be applied to any hue phase so it could likewise be used to soften areas of other colors (such as green grass). The skin tone detail feature can define three independent skin tone ranges to manage different light levels or different people on camera. Skin-tone-get feature finds a specific color in frame to simplify the set up process.

Focus Assist Functions
Quick and accurate focusing is supported with focus assist functions such as Focus Bar (indicates focus level), Focus-in-Red (uses color to indicate areas in focus), MAG (magnifies central portion), and Square (shows focus status of screen as a whole). Lenses with auto focus and focus assist capabilities are also supported*.
Detailed Settings and Functions Optimized for Operability
- Color temperature display and adjustment function (2000 K to 15000 K variable).
- Transmission of up to 10,000 m possible using single fiber.*
- It is possible to save camera settings, such as video adjustments, on an SD memory card. Firmware version upgrades are also supported.
- A lens file function to save flare and shading values.
- Support for IP streaming and IP control.
- DC12 V 2.5 A and 1.0 A output as a standard feature. This can be used as a power source for large lenses, prompters, and sub-monitors.
- There are four user buttons (enabling function selection) on the camera head and four on the viewfinder. They support rapid shooting by the camera operator.
- * Adverse conditions, additional patching and longer runs will require repeater devices.
