4K CINELIVE Studio Camera with PL Mount
The AK-PLV100 4K PL-mount studio camera carries on the legacy of VariCam with a cinematic look, V-LOG and Dual Native ISO, and streamlines multicamera live shooting to deliver another purpose built studio camera for easy CINELIVE production.
- Equipped with a large format, 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL Lens mount to accommodate cinema lenses for shallow-depth of field
- Capture frame rate is switchable to Cinematic 24p/30p on a 60p system, users can easily switch between a 24p/30p look and a standard broadcast 60p look
- Outputs SMPTE ST2110* video directly from its camera head and merely requires an optical-fiber connection for return input, intercom input/output, PTP synchronization, trunk out, and tally input
- Compatibility with Panasonic's 2/3-inch studio-camera system equipment allows the use of CCUs (UCU600 and HCU250), ROPs (HRP1010 and HRP1015) and other accessories
- V-LOG output* for wide dynamic range and rich color gamut, along with Dual Native ISO* for superb low-light performance

Cinematic Video with Shallow Depth of Field
The AK-PLV100GSJ comes with a 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL mount to produce cinematic video with bokeh effects. Combining the visual beauty of a cinema camera with the operability of a studio camera, the AK-PLV100GSJ achieves live video for events and sports with rich visual expression that grabs viewers attention.
- Dual Native ISO for high sensitivity and low noise1
- Simultaneous HLG/ITU-R BT.2020 (4K mode) and SDR/ITU-R BT.709 (HD mode)
- V-LOG output for wide dynamic range and rich color gamut1
Simple Operation without CCU
Normally, live production with a cinema camera requires the use of many external devices, but with the AK-PLV100GSJ, only the camera is needed to build a system. The AK-PLV100GSJ outputs SMPTE ST2110 video directly from its camera head and merely requires an optical-fiber connection for return input, intercom input/output, PTP synchronization, trunk out, and tally input.
