Key features of AK-UCU700

Key features

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®^*4 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

The AK-UCU700 CCU supports the latest generation SMPTE ST 2110*² IP transmission standard, as well as JPEG-XS for decompressing/compressing 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, the new Panasonic Connect CCU enables diverse networking and application capabilities for IP studio camera systems.

_{*1: First studio camera system to support Dante, NDI, and SRT, as of October 2023, according to Panasonic Connect research; *2: Standard on AK-UCU710/UCU710S models and optional on AK-UCU700/UCU7005 models, using the ST 2110 AK-NP701 interface board, sold separately; *3: Standard on AK-UCU710/UCU7105 models and optional on AK-UCU700/UCU700S models, using the Dante8 AK-NP702 interface board, sold separately; *4: NDI is a protocol developed by NewTek, Inc. for IP video production workflows and is a registered trademark of the company in the United States and other countries; *5: Requires the AK-NP703 streaming interface board, sold separately; *6: When power is supplied by the CCU; *7: when using the AK-UC4000 or AK-UC3300 4K studio cameras, with planned future support. The 2x speed may vary depending on the camera connected; *8: when using the studio camera currently under development; *9: the AK-UCU700 model requires the optional AK-NP701 interface board for SFP28 connection.}
