Panasonic unveils 4K PL-mount studio camera

AK-PLV100GJ designed for cinematic video with a shallow depth-of-field

Panasonic has reveaeled the AK-PLV100GJ 4K studio camera, which will be released in the first quarter of 2023.

The AK-PLV100GJ has a Super 35mm 5.7K MOS sensor and PL mount, inherited from the VariCam camera, and is designed for cinematic video with a shallow depth-of-field.

The camera features SMPTE ST 2110 compatibility, which aims to give a streamlined connection to the KAIROS IT/IP platform. In addition, the SMPTE ST 2110 input/output will be possible directly from the AK-PLV100GJ camera head without connecting to a CCU[1], enabling IP-based live production with just the camera. It’s also possible to output 12G-SDI signals directly from the camera head. 

Also, the camera head is fully compatible with the accessories for Panasonic’s 2/3-inch studio-camera line-up. By simply replacing the existing camera head with the AK-PLV100GJ, cinematic video can be created with the existing CCU (AK-UCU600 or AK-HCU250).

Andre Meterian, director of professional video systems for Panasonic Connect Europe, said: “The AK-PLV100GJ gives media and entertainment professionals flexibility and control that doesn’t sacrifice production quality.

“It brings an innovative combination of the features and capabilities of a studio camera, while seamlessly integrating with the AK-UCU600 or AK-HCU250 for systemized camera control and cinematic quality. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance live video broadcasting of music and sporting events with innovative solutions for on-site production, including IP-based studio cameras for advanced production and flexible system construction.”

  • I think this year 2024 is probably the most innovative, cutting-edge, head-of-the-curve MPTS that I’ve exhibited at so far. I think even compared to last year, attendees really know what they’re looking for when it comes to cloud, AI, virtual production, all of the buzz words, all of the emerging technologies, everyone’s really embraced it.
