NEWARK, NJ (July 28, 2020) – As the demand for 4K video content continues to grow across industries, the need for a flexible, 4K, feature-rich studio camera has become more desired. Panasonic today announced an expansion to its studio camera line-up with the AK-UC3300, designed to provide production teams with a future-proof solution that delivers high-quality imagery and dynamic performance. The new AK-UC3300 studio camera was designed specifically to satisfy for the needs of industry professionals working in production, broadcast, houses of worship, rental and staging, and eSports environments.

Following in the footsteps of Panasonic’s flagship AK-UC4000 studio camera, the AK-UC3300 supports a similar feature set broadcasters have come to expect including exceptional color accuracy and dynamic range. Due to the growing demand for high-quality content, the AK-UC3300 houses a large 11-megapixel 4K image sensor to achieve a horizontal and vertical resolution of 2,000 TV lines. The camera system is ideal for live remote and studio production and supports various interfaces, including 12G-SDI output, TICO over SDI (4K over 3G-SDI output) and SMPTE ST 2110.

Easy to use, the UC3300 includes a full simultaneous HDR/SDR feature set, built-in ND filter and expanded multi-format capability, ensuring high-definition resolution for richly-detailed imagery in indoor or outdoor settings. With high sensitivity of F10 (2,000 lx), it enables high-quality video shooting including 2160/59.94p and 1080/59.94p with low noise while maintaining a S/N ratio of 62 dB or higher.  

As part of the UC3300 camera system is the new AK-HRP1015GJ Remote Operation Panel (ROP) offering excellent operability, and the high-resolution AJ-CVF70GJ 0.7” Full HD OLED Color Viewfinder to support comfortable, high-quality on-site shooting.

When paired with the AK-UCU600 camera control unit (CCU), the AK-UC3300 helps manage and deliver live and on-demand video with its 12G-SDI, two independent intercom switches, and multiple fixed return video and prompter channels. The cost-effective system also offers extensive video and data transmission trunks including IP and HD-SDI for optimal connectivity.

The AK-UC3300 studio camera will be available in fourth quarter 2020. Panasonic offers a comprehensive studio/field camera family with options for 4K, 2K, High Frame Rate (HFR), and High Dynamic Range (HDR).
