Panasonic
has
announced a multicamera system that
uses
high-resolution
8K
cameras
to
improve
operating efficiency and
reduce operating costs
in live events and sports
applications.
The
AKSHB800GJ is a box-type
camera and features an 8K
full-size CMOS image sensor and EF
lens mount. An 8K ROI multi-camera
system which be configured by
connecting to an AK-SHU800 image
processing unit and a PC installed with
framing control software. Up to four
different HD videos can be cropped
from a wide-angle 8K image. Each
cropped image can be panned, tilted
and zoomed individually, enabling
the single 8K ROI camera to serve
as four HD cameras. Up to eight of
the cameras can be operated as one
system. Also new from Panasonic
is the AW-UE150 PTZ 4K-UHD/2KHD camera is designed for studio
operation. It has a large MOS sensor,
a 75.1 degree viewing angle and 20x
optical zoom. Outputs include 4K 50p

12G-SDI, HDMI, optical fibre and IP.
Red's Ranger camera is based on
the company's full frame Monstro 8K
VV sensor. The camera includes three
SDI outputs (two mirrored and one
independent) allowing two different
looks to be output simultaneously. It
accepts wide-input voltage (11.5 to 32
volts) and offers 24 and 12 volt power
outputs (two of each) plus one 12
volt P-Tap port. Red's IPP2 enhanced
image processing is included.
Sharp introduced at NAB a prototype
compact 8K camera which it says
will be deliverable by Q1 2020. This

imager, an HD LCD viewfinder and a
direct video output. Recording is at 30
frames per second to a slot-in SD card,
currently available in up to 1 terabyte
capacity.
Sony's HDC-5500 is a new
multi-format live camera
capable of direct 4K

signal output in 12G-SDI. It includes
what is claimed to be the world's first
2/3-inch 4K global shutter with three
CMOS sensors for use in HD, 4K and
HDR live production. Optional software
allows capture at up to 2x speed in
UHD and 8x in HD.
The HDC-5500 delivers a 4K signal
directly from its 12G-SDI output.
Installing a wireless side panel option,
HKC-WL50, the HDC-5500 can be
operated as a wireless camera as well
as being used with a camera stabiliser.
Two camera signals can be carried
simultaneously over a single optical
cable. A 4K trunk feature transmits
two sources from the HDC-5500
camera to the control unit; one source
from the host HDC-5500 itself plus a
second camera connected to the HDC5500's 12G-SDI input. A UHD prompter
feed is transmitted
from the HDCU-5500
to camera head.
