Supports simultaneous 4K HDR and HD SDR, plus ST 2110 and Dante® (industry first*1)

The AK-UCU700 CCU supports the next-generation SMPTE ST 2110*2 IP-transmission standard as well as JPEG XS to uncompress/compress 4K video by a factor of 10 without degrading quality. As the industry's first*1 studio camera system to support the Dante®*3 network audio standard as well as the NDI® (High Bandwidth NDI®)*4 and SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)*5 IP transmission standards, Panasonic Connect's new CCU realizes diverse networks and applications for IP studio camera systems.

  • Simultaneous output of HDR and SDR (BT.2020 and BT.709).
  • Eight standard outputs, including two 12G-SDI outputs.
  • Compatibility with the ST 2110*2 and industry-first support for Dante®*3 audio network as well as NDI® and SRT*5
  • 3.5-inch color LCD touch panel for intuitive operation and viewing camera output.
  • Uncompressed optical transmission between camera and CCU over distances up to about 2,000m.*6
  • High-speed shooting (Future Update): Up to 4x in HD*7 and 2x in 4K.*8
  • Uncompressed or JPEG XS 4K/HD IP transmission with ST 2110/NMOS option.*2
  • Redundant operation with two SFP28 terminals.*9
