Exceptional Resolution
The camera’s new MOS sensor uses oversampling to achieve 2,000 TVL resolution, both horizontally and vertically, for detailed high-definition reproduction. With F10 (2000 lux) sensitivity and a signal-to-noise ratio of 62 dB or higher, the sensor ensures low-noise, high-quality video even in very low-light conditions.
Various Interfaces without CCU
The AK-UCX100 can operate independently as a standalone camera head without a CCU, and it supports a variety of IP standards, including 12G-SDI, SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth*, and SRT without a CCU, providing flexible compatibility with both baseband and IP systems. In addition, it is compatible with Panasonic's AK-UCU700 CCU series and the newly developed AK-CFA100 Camera Fiber Adaptor, offering a wide range of options to accommodate different on-sight environments.

SMPTE ST 2110 Support for IP
The AK-UCX100 addresses various IP-migration issues to maintain video quality, improve operability and more. SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility enables transmission of uncompressed 4K video for stable IP operation in both live and studio settings. Support for JPEG XS*1 allows low-latency transmission of visually lossless video quality, ensuring smooth video transmission even in bandwidth-constrained environments. In addition, Tag VLAN*2 identifies and groups cameras connected to the network, simplifying management in large-network operations.

Redundant Operation with ST 2110
SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility enables redundant operation and network redundancy during IP operation.
Redundant Operation (examples)
Simultaneous HLG (BT.2020) and SDR (BT.709)
Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) achieves fine gradation of light and dark with a wide dynamic range and ITU-R BT.2020 compatibility allows reproduction of nearly all natural colors for superior color accuracy. What’s more, simultaneous use of HLG (BT.2020) and SDR (BT.709) enables optimal color reproduction for virtually any content.
HD Low-Pass Filter for Reduced Moiré
The HD low-pass filter* reduces luminance and color moiré often seen in LED wall shooting, ensuring beautiful capture of live-stage performances with LED walls.

Integration with Panasonic PTZ Cameras
When paired with an integrated 4K camera, the same remote operation panel (ROP) can be used for seamless color matching, making it easy to create dramatic multi-angle video on location.
High-precision focus assist function
The camera is equipped with a high-precision focus indicator that supports the focus point with a guide display and a focus guide that displays the in-focus status as an icon on the viewfinder using a distance measurement technology through image phase detection. This function allows for further ease of use in live production to beautifully express once-in-a-lifetime moments. It also features a VF dark area boost function that enhances visibility on the VF by increasing the contrast of dark areas when using the viewfinder.
Video and Data Transmission (TRUNK)
Video and data can be transmitted between the camera and CCU via an optical cable, allowing system upgrades based on operational needs. Two 3G-SDI systems (CCU/CFA to camera) with built-in frame synchronizer (FS) can be used for the prompter, fixed return, and camera-side monitoring (studio floor, etc.). Also, one 3G-SDI system (camera to CCU/CFA) with built-in FS outputs video from a handheld or PTZ camera in a studio or in the field. Video input uses built-in FS for asynchronous video signals.
TRUNK Redundancy (examples)
Supports 4K 2x and HD 4x high-speed shooting
High-speed shooting at up to 2x speed in 4K and 4x speed in HD is supported. This function enables high-speed shooting that gives rich expressive power to dynamic video content production, including sports.
4K: 2x speed
HD: 2x speed, 3x speed, 4x speed
Other Features
- 4K redundant connections using two SFP28 slots.
- Genlock IN for synchronizing video with external signals, and reference output.
- TSL 5.0 for sending and receiving tally information.
- Built-in ND filter with multiple options: Clear, 1/2, 1/4, 1/16 and 1/64.
