Features

FHD/60p/50p Support with High-Sensitivity, Low-Noise HDR Compatibility

High Sensitivity, Low Noise 2/3 type 3MOS Image Sensors

• SDR Monitoring Gamma: Gamma curves for monitoring HLG images with the SDR viewfinder or other SDR monitor. These gamma curves possess characteristics for expressing the gradation in high-brightness area while maintaining the contrast of ordinary-brightness area.
• HDR/SDR Simultaneous Output: Dual SDI can output both HDR (HLG) and SDR (monitoring gamma) simultaneously.
• One-Push HLG Selector for Viewfinder: While the viewfinder display with monitoring gamma ordinary, the gradation of high-brightness area can be checked by selecting HLG temporarily.
• High-Brightness Zebra Display: The zebra pattern can be displayed in white-out areas of the viewfinder image.

• * BT.709 color gamut (BT.2020 is not supported)

FHD Image Acquisition by High-Quality AVC-ULTRA Codecs

The AVC-ULTRA codecs feature high-quality, high-efficiency H.264 based video compression. The main recording can be selected from high-quality AVC-Intra200 for mastering applications, AVC-Intra100 with FHD/60p/50p support, AVC-Intra50, or AVC-LongG (50/25/12) for FHD10-bit 4:2:2 with affordable bit rate. While offering a low bit rate suitable for previewing, sub recording AVC-Proxy (proxy data) provides an FHD resolution mode that can be used as is for breaking news and similar applications. The conventional DVCPRO codec is also supported.

Reliable Recording Media: P2 Card/microP2 Card*

Advanced Network Functions Support Streaming and IoT Cloud Platform MB

Easy-to-Use Single Dongle, Flexible Network Connection

Proxy preview, camera remote, and playlist editing can all be done on a PC, Mac, or tablet connected to wireless LAN. When connected to the internet, files can be transferred and live streaming can be done. Nimble operation is possible using the Wireless Module (optional: AJ-WM50/WM50G) or single dongle of the 4G/LTE dongle. Wired LAN connection and LiveU/TVU bonding services are also supported.

IoT Cloud Platform MB

An IoT Solution for News Gathering That Directly Connects On-Site News Acquisition with the Newsroom.

Automatic Upload to a Cloud Server

Recorded clips are automatically uploaded in the background. The Rec During Upload function also enables recording and playback while transferring data. The transfer operation resumes immediately after the network connection or power is restored. This allows the camera operator to concentrate on shooting without being bothered by uploading.

Near-Live Upload

This is a unique IoT Cloud Platform MB solution. In the Near Live mode, image data is split into 2-minute files, and those proxy video data files are automatically and sequentially uploaded to the cloud. The files can be previewed on a WWW browser. After the shooting, the data is merged into one clip on the cloud. Then it can be shared on the web.

News Content Web Sharing, Integrated Camera Control

• Allows sharing of proxy clips on the cloud by multiple staff members.
• Cloud integration is available for editing, transcription, etc.
• Monitors camera recorder status and GPS location information.
• Enables remote metadata editing and remote camera recorder setting.
• Link softwares connect directly to a nonlinear editor, news automation system or media asset management system.
• P2 Cast Media Bridge Mobile App connects smartphone cameras to IoT Cloud Platform MB and P2SS.

• * Clips for Interval Rec, Loop Rec, One-Clip Rec, and One-Shot Rec are not automatically transferred. The streaming function also does not operate.
• * See the following App Store for information of operating environment.
