Features the Same Platform as the AK-UCX100 4K Studio Camera

Achieves 2,000 TV Lines of Horizontal and Vertical Resolution

The camera’s 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.

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.

Shorten Time for Color Matching and On-Site Setup with the Unified GUI

The AK-UBX100 utilizes the same platform and shared menu interface as the AK-UCX100. This eliminates the complexity of color matching, which has been a challenge in conventional workflows, and achieves unified operability across different devices.

Seamless Integration with Panasonic's System and PTZ Cameras

The AK-UBX100 connects directly to the same Remote Operation Panel (ROP) used with the AK-UCX100 and AW-UE160.
Since button layouts and menu structures are standardized, operators can switch between models without confusion.

Even in production environments where multiple camera systems are mixed, smooth and efficient operation is ensured.

Integrated Control/Tally into a Single LAN Line

Camera control and tally functions are integrated on the same LAN, eliminating the need for GPI or dedicated tally cables. This reduces cable volume, making setup lighter and faster, and lets you easily change layouts, add cameras, or enable remote operation by just configuring the network settings.
Additionally, IP-based functionality allows for log monitoring and batch firmware updates, simplifying system operation even further.

Compatible with Multiple IP Transmission Standards

The AK-UBX100 supports a wide range of IP standards including SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, and SRT. With SMPTE ST 2110, it also supports network redundancy, ensuring stable 4K IP operations.

4K Redundant Connections

The AK-UBX100 is standard equipped with two SFP+/28 slots and two 12G-SDI outputs. A/B redundant 4K A/B routes can be secured on both optical/IP and baseband lines.

  • SFP+/28 x2 :
    Equipped with an optical module, with two optical cables directly connected to the camera head, enabling redundant operation.
    • *SFP modules are sold separately.
  • 12G-SDI x2 :
    In addition to sending the same 4K signal to separate routers for backup, these outputs can also be used for simultaneous HDR/SDR or clean/dirty signal output.

Moiré Reduction

The AK-UBX100 offers two options for moiré reduction.

  • Replace the standard UHD optical low-pass filter with an HD optical low-pass filter

    Can also be used in combination with the ND filter mounted on the turret. Since the HD optical filter is always active, resolution is slightly reduced.

  • Maintain the UHD optical low-pass filter while adding an HD optical low-pass filter to the turret

    The standard UHD optical low-pass filter remains in place, while the turret allows you to select either the ND filter or the HD optical low-pass filter. When moiré reduction is required, simply select the HD optical low-pass filter. In this case, it cannot be used in combination with the ND filter.

Ultra-Lightweight, Flat Design

Compact, Lightweight Approx.1.9 kg Body

With its lightweight and compact design, the camera reduces the need for counterweights even when mounted on gimbals or the tips of cranes. This design also broadens the range of options for lenses, rotators, and other accessories.

Facilitates Setup and Changeover for Robot Mounting

The flat-surface design on all four sides, combined with 1/4-inch screw holes, allows the body to be securely mounted on tripods, gimbals, ceiling rigs, or cranes without the need for tools.

Simply plugging and unplugging cables makes it possible to quickly change orientation or installation location, enabling smooth integration with robotic heads.

Focus Function That Supports High-Level Shooting

High-precision focus assist function

The AK-UCX100 is equipped with a high-precision focus indicator that visually guides focus points, along with a focus guide leveraging image-plane phase detection technology to display focus status using intuitive icons. These features enhance usability in live productions where every moment counts. Additionally, VF Shadow Boost enhances visibility by increasing the contrast of darker areas of the viewfinder.

Focus icon turns green when framed subject (background flower) is in focus.

Focus icon turns yellow when you shift the focus to another subject (foreground flowers), causing it to lose focus.

Focus icon turns green when accurate focus is achieved manually.
