Overview
AK-HC3800
The AK-HC3800 is an HD studio camera equipped with three
high-sensitivity, high-quality 2/3-type 2.2-megapixel CCDs, a
high-precision 16 bit A/D image processing circuit, and the latest
generation 38-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Compact and
lightweight at only 8 lbs, it offers chromatic aberration
compensation (CAC), scene file settings, and a sophisticated
implementation of Panasonic's exclusive dynamic range stretch
(DRS).
The HC3800 achieves a high sensitivity of F11 at 59.94Hz
(2,000 lx) and an S/N ratio of 60dB. High definition formats can be
switched to allow worldwide use at 1080/59.94i and 1080/50i. Output
of 720/59.94p video will also be supported via a pre-NAB no-charge
firmware upgrade. The newly-developed 16-bit A/D and 38-bit DSP
utilize Spatial Offset Technology, and an advanced single transfer
system to provide a high resolution picture (1,100 lines) with less
moiré and a vertical smear level less than -130dB.
The HC3800's DRS function simultaneously reduces blocked
detail in shadow areas and blown highlights in scenes where
extremely bright and dark objects coexist, and its CAC function can
compensate for chromatic aberration at the lens periphery. The
low-profile head and low main body design are ergonomically
designed for comfortable operation and provide an unobstructed view
to the camera operator's right-hand side. The HC3800 is also
equipped with a Film Rec Gamma function adapted from Panasonic's
renowned VariCam models, and a Scan Reverse function for cinema
lens adaptors.
Adding the AK-HCU200 camera control unit (CCU), and the
AK-HRP200G remote operation panel (ROP) to the HC3800 creates a low
cost, high quality studio camera system that delivers world-class
uncompressed video and system control via optical fiber
transmission. The new AK-HVF70G compact and lightweight 7" LCD
viewfinder completes the basic studio camera system.
The AK-HCU200 CCU, rack-mountable, lightweight and measuring
2U in height, has two HD/SD-SDI output channels and two additional
HD/SD-SDI output channels that can be used in conjunction with the
picture monitor outs. For return video inputs, the CCU is equipped
with two HD/SDSDI channels and one VBS (analog composite video)
channel. A down converter is also incorporated and an aspect ratio
of an HD/SD-SDI out can be selected from Letterbox, Crop or
Squeeze. Embedded audio is supported for HD/SD-SDI output and
prompter input is provided.
The HCU200 and the AK-HC3800 can be connected with SMPTE 311
hybrid fiber cables over a distance of approximately 1,000 meters
for transmission of uncompressed video, power, control, and other
functions. The compact, 2.9-pound AK-HRP200 remote operation panel
provides precise, rapid, and comprehensive control of the HC3800's
powerful capabilities. Currently, the HRP200 and HCU200 connect via
optional serial cables (e.g. ROP-50M) at a distance of up to 50
meters. The free system firmware upgrade available before NAB 2013
will add IP control communication between ROP and HCU, and will
also permit the ROP to set-up and control Panasonic PTZ cameras
such as the AW-HE120 via IP. Scene files, user files and lens files
can be stored on and retrieved from SD-HC memory cards at both the
HCU and HRP control panel.
The AK-HVF70 seven-inch color LCD serves as an electronic
viewfinder (EVF) and provides superb picture quality with SWVGA
(1,024 x 600 pixels) resolution. It includes as contrast,
brightness and peaking adjustments, and is equipped with three user
assignable function switches. The compact EVF features a "Focus in
Red" function, which highlights the edges of an object in red, and
a "Pixel-to-Pixel" function, which allows the inputted video to be
displayed without resizing. Additional EVF options for the HC3800
include the two-inch HD monochrome, model AJ-HVF21KG, and the
one-inch, color LCD, model AJ-CVF100G.
